What are you LNT people going to do about Colorado? Its soil is regarded by US Geological Survey reports to have uranium at higher levels than normal for the nation, and its altitude guarantees that residents get cosmic ray doses at or above the levels where people say we ought to limit dosage and take action.

Clearly, the Federal Government must evacuate all of its territory situated a mile or more above sea level, or where the uranium soil burden is naturally high - that's half of New Mexico, particularly the mountains and foothills, ALL of Denver, Colorado Springs, and the Rocky Mountains, Montana, and Wyoming, according to the LNT guidelines.

Hormesis is an ambiguous notion that typically gets seriously distorted and is often wrongly applied to all kinds of things.

Per the "logical" theory - or rather, dogma - of hormesis you're chance of getting lung cancer is reduced if you were to smoke a few cigarettes every day ...

It is interesting to note that it has been almost exclusively promoters and mouthpieces of the radiation-military-medical industries (or other big corporate cartels) who've been advocating the alleged virtues of radiation hormesis, ignoring and denying the real data. T. D. Luckey who advocates "We need more, not less radiation" has been a high-paying propagandist for the radiation cartel for decades, spreading their distortions and lies about the facts on ionizing radiation.

The nuclear energy-radiation-medical industry cartel has been disregarding, minimizing, or suppressing the true dangers of low dose radiation for many decades - see "The Mammogram Myth" by Rolf Hefti (see outline at http://www.supplements-and-health.com/mammograms.html ).

The ultimate aim of this propaganda is to discredit and suppress the facts that the lowest possible dose of ionizing radiation is carcinogenic (the pawns of the corporate environment-polluting industries do the same sort of thing about toxicants) and that these corrupt industries are responsible for the death of millions of people.

The public at large is generally clueless about most of this because the cartel's dominant disinformation tool is the mainstream media. And their propaganda dissemination is ongoing, keeping the general public hypnotized with a made-up fake reality.

The racket is profound and systematic. You can see that "in action" in how the corporate press and the mainstream authorities have blacked out what's really going on at Fukushima, or 9/11 (watch, on youtube, etc, the free online film "September 11 – The New Pearl Harbor"), or the ugly truth about the US Federal Reserve Bank, etc. The lack of continuous and in-depth media coverage of the ongoing disaster at Fukushima is indicative of the huge racket.

Interesting that one poster said "please don't add any more above background levels as any more is dangerous.

This actually proves that LNT is bogus since 1) there are a wide range of background levels across the globe and 2) current levels of background radiation are harmless.

If 2) then the " no safe dose " meme is a canard. If 1) and no correlation to cancer rates then LNT is a canard.

Either way, the fact that LNT proponents are confused regarding "no safe dose" and acceptable levels of ANY background, shows a great inconsistency in their argument.

I think I will put a new response that captures these inconsistencies in adopting LNT, excluding background radiation levels, and the slippery slope of the application of LNT without considering the very vast range of background and energy deposition.

Loose, what is your take and that wicked ugly lady who states that young girls and babies should be allowed to be exposed to 100mSv per year.

Why deprive them of the benefit of radiation.

I believe this person to be a monster, worse than a sociopath.

I like comment 11 . ☺

Wonder who sent it. Most all of the comments opposing the petition are going to be discarded on the basis of emotional or personal attacks.

Frankly as a nuclear proponent, I honestly think it gets the dialog going on the risk-benefit of the current policy however such a move would take at least ten more years to implement as there are 911 recommendations that have not been implemented. The wheels of government turn very slowly, at a glacial pace, but they do turn.

The fact that LNT proponents do not understand hypothesis testing is a cause for concern. LNT is as hypothesis and that hypothesis must be tested to a signicance level in order to move off the hypothesis and into something more than that. I see no evidence this has occurred.

Yeah, but to the extent that people had doubts about cigarette safety and decided not to quit, it isn't funny. Some non-zero number of people died, we'll never know how many, so it's pretty close to murder.

Anyway, my comment on the petitions is here:

People need to understand how money filters through "think tanks", and how the media doesn't help because they give both sides to an issue equal time, even though one side may simply be wrong.

No, that's not it all. He's an ideologue who views environmental regulation as socialism. That what the GCMI was about, they fought any kind of environmental regulation. Read the book Merchants of Doubt or see the documentary by the same name, both available at Amazon. The same with the Cato Institute, which was the Charles Koch Foundation (as in one of two anti-government billionaire brothers).

2015-08-21T14:02:46.487-07:00

Cohen was a physics professor. Why would a physics professor undertake an epidemiological study on radon? Look at any physics textbook you like, you won't find epidemiology within it. It's because he received funding from the George C. Marshall Institute in order to manufacture doubt about radon. Why? Because it was thought that radon progeny could attach to smoke particles from cigarettes, and regulations were pending regarding second hand smoke. The Tobacco Institute funded the GCMI, and it looks like Cohen is an objective scientist, but he's not. See the book and documentary Merchants of Doubt.

Ed Calabrese is the latest Merchant. He gets funding from the Cato Institute which is a carbon copy of the GCMI. He has commented within the petition. The SARI group follow him like sychophants. Their attacks on BEIR I originate from one of Calabrese's concocted claims. They claim to believe LNT was a conspiracy of the Rockefellers because they funded it. However LNT was the scientific consensus going back another decade.

Hi Stock,

Did you know:

(1) Carol Marcus is also the name of a character on Star Trek

(2) Rod Adams is asking for an extension for comments. Wonder why?

(3) Saw this Petition on Enenews and figured it would go nicely here:

"Protect children from radiation exposure!"

Thank you for your tireless work!
