Geoff at The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 1 day ago

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, World* [image: Castle Bravo nuclear test. Date 1 March 1954] Nuclear war is a bad idea... *Key point: *The destruction of cities would deny the millions of injured, even those who might otherwise easily survive, even basic health care.

Thus we build up a defense mechanism against self-questioning because,... more »
