He's a joke; Staunchly anti nuclear for years, Fukushima occurs and he goes staunchly pro nuclear overnight. There's a pattern to what he writes and when as this recent flood event shows.

 

Regardless of what one thinks of the issues, anyone who flip flops from one strong opinion to the polar opposite so often... No thanks George

What I find disconcerting is that this is all pretty basic information. There's nothing new. You don't have to much more than a basic knowledge of hydrology and soils to predict whats going to happen - yet it continues.

 

Who exactly is being paid (and how much) to advise the powers to be, so badly?

I think that if you change your mind on the back of evidence and scientific fact then that's fine, better than entrenching your views even in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary?

 

After all that's what science is?

Another worthy of note - the planet is now in self destruct mode I reckon...
