George Monbiot Begins to Awaken from a Deep, Deep Sleep

by Little Miss Attila on April 9, 2011

Neo-neo tells the story:

It began innocently enough, in a debate Monbiot was having with one of his idols, Dr. Helen Caldicott. He asked her to produce sources for some statements she’d made about the health effects of radiation, and she obliged by coming up with mostly non-scientific stuff and one lengthy (423-page) report by the US Academy of Sciences, which Monbiot actually read. It turned out it completely contradicted what she’d said.

I wonder if Caldicott herself has ever actually looked at it. Ooops!

Then Monbiot came across the Chernobyl data by UNSCEAR, the same report I referenced here, the one that found few and relatively minor long-term health effects from the worst nuclear power plant accident ever, Chernobyl.

Monbiot goes on to compare Caldicott and her ilk to just about the worst people he can think of, climate change deniers.

But, you know: sometimes these revelations are only the beginning. Ask Neo-neo. Ask me.

How embarrassing to jump to the fringe right just as it was being taken over by the likes of Glenn Beck.

I know you guys would jump back to the normals if you didn’t have such a problem admitting you were wrong about anything.

Monbiot–the original moonbat.
I hope he puts that on his tombstone.
When the Left is right about something, give me a call.
I know you are not stupid, just a liar for political gain and power.
There should be a way to put that on the Left’s tombstone.
Maybe a government subsidy for the engraving.
