After 60 years of studying nuclear issues, I agree with famous anti-nuclear activist Dr Helen Caldicott who recently warned that 'the re-election of Bush means endless war and probably a nuclear war during the next four years.'
.... People's last thoughts will probably be: "I wish I had faced the facts, been less apathetic and done something positive to prevent it".

The Pilgrimage Tour Commemorating 60th Anniversary of Hiroshima Bombing
Will also Feature the Threats to Humanity from Global Warming

Comment from Larry Ross, February 17, 2005

I will emphasise the global warming threat as summarised below, while focusing on the various nuclear threats during my Pilgrimage starting on May 24th in Christchurch. One thing I disagree with is the author's suggestion that nuclear power might be part of the solution to combat global warming. There are many factors, which make nuclear power a large and immediate threat. These are detailed on our website under "Nuclear Power".

Additional risks are from the Bush Administration, which has lowered the barrier to allow nuclear weapon usage under conditions defined by the US President. Also, any of Bush's future planned wars can become nuclear, particularly if the US says it cannot accomplish it's military objectives by conventional means. It seems probable that the US will overextend itself conventionally, as it is now doing in Iraq, thus placing itself in a position of either using nuclear weapons or facing defeat. If follows that once nuclear weapons are used, there can be unimaginable consequences.

All nuclear power and nuclear weapon countries will face added risks in this situation. Countries with nuclear reactors which are allied to either side can become targets, thus spreading deadly radiation over a wide area. This is another important reason for New Zealand to stay nuclear-free.

Apocalypse Now: How Mankind is Sleepwalking
to the End of the Earth

by Geoffrey Lean, February 6, 2005

Floods, storms and droughts. Melting Arctic ice, shrinking glaciers, oceans turning to acid. The world's top scientists warned last week that dangerous climate change is taking place today, not the day after tomorrow. You don't believe it? Then, says Geoffrey Lean, read this...

Future historians, looking back from a much hotter and less hospitable world, are likely to play special attention to the first few weeks of 2005. As they puzzle over how a whole generation could have sleepwalked into disaster - destroying the climate that has allowed human civilization to flourish over the past 11,000 years - they may well identify the past weeks as the time when the last alarms sounded.
