...interpretation of this reading is that the World Nuclear Association is antinuclear?

That is a spectacular demonstration of poor reading skills if so.

I can also tell pretty clearly whether I'm talking to someone who has ever gotten a C or better in an undergraduate science course.

That doesn't matter though. It's pretty obvious.

Speaking of straw men, I kind of always liked the straw character played by Ray Bolger in The Wizard of Oz. He at least was interested in having a brain.

Thanks for the nice demonstration though of where the head of every defender of the disastrous wind and solar industry is and what they're about is. I have always said they have no interest, none, in attacking fossil fuels.QED.

Yesterday the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere was registered at the Mauna Loa Observatory was 432.48 ppm, tied with that of April 1st of this year for the 3rd highest daily reading ever recorded after 432.68 ppm on March 31st, 2026, second highest, and April 5th, 2026, 433.24 ppm the absolute highest ever recorded there.

I'm sure in the antinuke community which pushed for the 5.6 trillion dollars squandered on solar and wind junk, they're all encouraged by and very proud of these numbers. (When aI joined DU 22 years ago to first listen to antinuke pablum, the number was 372.94 ppm)

Congratulations I guess. You must be very, very proud.

I look forward to another whiny misreading of a Hansen paper that spits on his scientifically inspired efforts in support of nuclear energy .

If I were made of straw, I'd work on my reading skills in the manner Ray Bolger might have done.
