I don’t know if you quite realize how close to a major climate change event Chernobyl almost became.

- ericd 1y agoYou might want to elaborate?
- fragmede 1y agoThat's not supported by physics. Even at the worst - if the other reactor had somehow also melted down, that still wouldn't have caused a major climate change event. It would have been absolutely terrible, regionally, but not globally. Nuclear reactors aren't atomic bombs.
- Forgeties79 1y agoI don’t understand. Plenty of climate change related developments are regional. See: the increasingly devastating hurricanes forming in the Gulf of Mexico. Not every single thing that we attribute to climate change has to span the entire globe.
