    This is what humans have been saying about auto exhaust, factory emissions, agricultural emissions etc for a hundred years. It’s turned out wrong in every way.

    (edit) Now that I think about it, isn’t your position basically the same as the right wing position on climate change? That even if it exists humans are too small to actually effect the huge atmosphere so it’s not human caused.

    “The amount of X that industry is dumping into the Y is insignificant and nothing to be concerned about” is an inherently flawed argument, and all the worse when there are 8 billion people on the planet.

      There is a key difference, fossil fuel use inherently ends up leaving pollution in the atmosphere, nuclear power does not do anything of the same.

      Nope. It’s not even close

      That even if it exists humans are too small to actually effect the huge atmosphere so it’s not human caused.

      That’s not even close to what I am saying.

      All sea water is radioactive already, and has been since before humans got nukes. And thats because all sea water has tritium at low levels. When we release water that is at the same level as sea water, nothing changes.

      It’s like adding a red ball or playdoh to a red ball of playdoh. There’s not going to be a difference. Fossil fuels on the other hand would be like adding a black ball of playdoh to a red one.
