Fukushima scaremongers becoming increasingly desperate

Well said!

I'm glad that things are being put in perspective in articles like this. I had notice a tabloid-journalism attitude from some "important" news sources since the first days of the Fukushima disaster.

When putting nuclear power into question we should consider how many people die each year because of the use of Air Pollution cause by Particulate Matter (PM) that comes from coal mining and the burning of fuel.

From the World Health Organization's website:

"Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health and is estimated to cause approximately 2 million premature deaths worldwide per year."

"Even in the EU, average life expectancy is 8.6 months lower due to exposure to PM. (Particulate Matter)"
