    Yeah, they once said that about radium, uranium, etc. Decades later they’re like fuck, we were wrong, this is toxic dangerous stuff.

    So what, let’s just keep playing games with nature? How you think we ended up in the situation we’re in with the climate today?

    In the past couple centuries we’ve made many advancements, and many mistakes. We’ve also made a whole lot more people since then, and people are a huge catalyst for this changing climate.

    Go ahead, name me even one other species on this planet that requires all this energy production to survive…

    Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Science has been wrong before, on very dangerous levels they couldn’t even grasp. Do you really trust when current science says tritium is “safe”?..

        Our climate is more than just the air, water and temperature, it’s everything in our environment. If that happens to include excess radioactive materials that might cause cancer, is that not also part of your climate and habitat?

        But hey, let’s not worry about it. We need to harvest all the energy of the planet and wonder why it’s so damn hot…

          I think the confusion might come from a misunderstanding of what the word climate means. Climate is defined as the “long-term pattern of weather” in an area. Cancer isn’t really a product of bad climate, and this won’t create long term radioactive storms.
