George Monbiot Refutes Radiation Danger Claims

George Monbiot Refutes Radiation Danger Claims
by C. L. Cook
Monbiot and Dr. Helen Caldicott faced off a couple weeks ago in a Democracy Now! debate on the issue of radiation and the dangers posed by Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster. 
 
Now, following intensive source research, Monbiot claims Caldicott and the "anti-nuclear lobby" has "misled us all."
 
Startling claims we should all want to believe;
 
"Failing to provide sources, refuting data with anecdote, cherry-picking studies, scorning the scientific consensus, invoking a cover-up to explain it: all this is horribly familiar. These are the habits of climate-change deniers, against which the green movement has struggled valiantly, calling science to its aid. It is distressing to discover that when the facts don't suit them, members of this movement resort to the follies they have denounced.

"We have a duty to base our judgments on the best available information. This is not only because we owe it to other people to represent the issues fairly, but also because we owe it to ourselves not to squander our lives on fairytales. A great wrong has been done by this movement. We must put it right."
