Folks, I am sorry, but the guy who wrote this article does not understand the risks involved with what is happening in Japan. Unfortunately few people do. The information is not open, and this is a major problem. The IAEA knows that it is lacking transparency. Next week I will invite the scientific community that has the tools to identify even trace elements of this radiation incident to build an open database to be populated with environmental information. Then anyone with a web browser will be able to navigate though a map and find how radioactive (and non-radioactive) materials are spreading through the planet. My suggestion can be found at http://www.iba2011.org/site/tiki-index.php?page=Round+Tables I hope that maybe some people from this list may have some experience with or know open scientific portals that works on this kind open collaboration idea. If anyone does, please let me know. Thanks, Rafael Em 26-03-2011 04:08, M. Fioretti escreveu:
Greetings,
Please have a look at the article with that title: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/21/pro-nuclear-japan-fukush...
I'm not entirely convinced about it myself. However, I think that it is very good food for thought, and above all would like to hear the opinion of those list members who have had many more occasions than me to study the most recent pros and cons of "local energy" about how Monbiot deals with it in that piece.
TIA, Marco
