2020 a critical year to stall global heating, without dirty nuclear power.

Is the ‘developed’ world at last waking up to the reality of global heating and climate change? There are a few signs that the human race’s slavery to consumerism and endless growth might be wavering. But it’s a long haul to expect Chinese and Indian people, and the rest of the formerly ‘undeveloped ‘ countries to be persuaded.

Even so, the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions is urgent, for we must reduce the pace and impact of global heating, and prepare for the coming upheavals.

While action on climate is utterly essential NOW, the nuclear threats also remain.

In 2020 the corrupt nuclear lobby will push the lie that nuclear solves climate change, that Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are the answer.

2020 is a critical year, when we might be able to limit the process of global heating to 2 degrees C.  It is also a critical year to spell out the facts on nuclear costs, wastes, dangers, connection with weapons, and to stop the expensive distraction of nuclear power.
