[edit] Disengagement

  • I made no inferences. The following if/then statement is undeniable: If Abbas demands borders at the '49 lines, then Bush will support those borders (if he follows his current policy statements). I did not assume that Abbas would make that demand (though I think it is quite likely, based on precedent, that he will. However, that is irrelevant).
  • We seem to be in agreement that Bush wants more, so I'll assume that we're in agreement that the article should indicate as much.
  • I never said that millions are satisfied with the disengagement alone. However, if you consider any such people extremists, a fortiori that you consider those who don't support any land concessions extremists. There are many millions of the latter (I dare say hundreds of millions). HKT talk 18:32, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Palestine map

I am not author of that Palestine election map. Map is taken from Wikimedia Commons and I just started its page on English Wikipedia. You can check map page on Wikimedia Commons to see who is the author of the map, and ask him to change it:

[edit] Chernobyl disaster

The points by Prof Allison that you added seem very valid and I've elaborated on them slightly - I hope that's ok. I'd be grateful if you could look it over and check that I've grasped the point, particularly the long-term/short term deaths. Best. --Moonraker88 09:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for looking it over; I appreciate it. --Moonraker88 08:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen

Please provide a reference for your statement that Zero CO2 emissions is a straw man argument. May I remind you that Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen is a live person. If you can't provide it in 72 hours, I will have to remove your statement.Kgrr (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

(response to Kgrr also posted here)
Hi Kgrr, I updated the SvL article to describe his contribution to the ORG paper better - actually the description in the article as I found it was wrong anyway so my earlier update (the straw man) was misguided. No-one seriously interested in the subject claims that there are no other energy inputs to nuclear power, which in todays society means that it carries a greenhouse gas emission on its lifecycle; the discussion is about how much that is (which is why attacking "zero emissions" would be a straw man argument). The SvL/S analysis is an extreme (high) outlier in that estimation. In the ORG paper itself, SvL's claim that in thirty or fifty years the greenhouse burden for nuclear will suddenly sky-rocket assumes no new uranium discoveries and ignores ISL methods, both of which are too important to overlook.
I should add that I don't care whether Storm van Leeuwen is alive or not (yes I know he is); I am addressing the arguments, not the man.
