Why has a crisis that is gaining traction as the worst case of nuclear pollution in history worse, emission-wise, than Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or Chernobyl being smothered with internal censorship?
Carbon-emissions-wise (which roughly reflects energy use), geophysicists Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin find that cutting meat consumption by just 20percentt -- say, going meatless two days a week -- is equal to switching from a standard sedan to a hybrid.
We must object to and reject business and policy leaders who continue to delay and distract us from wise emissions policies.
An Activity-Structure-Emission Factor (ASF) framework was adapted for emission modeling, followed by a grid-wise air quality assessment using AERMOD and a health impact assessment using an epidemiological approach.

It is not wise to dismiss it where CO2 emissions, the other great curse of the oceans, are concerned.
Pursuing wise policies on curbing greenhouse gas emissions and on boosting resilience to extreme events both make sense, and President Obama is best suited to pursuing progress on both fronts.
When designing a product to a specification without knowledge of the system or environment in which it will be installed, it is wise to normally separate the two aspects of emissions and susceptibility.
How much and how quickly we reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not topics for negotiation, any more than you or I would be wise to try negotiating with a rapidly metastasizing cancer.
"The LED industry would be wise to develop white-appearing LEDs that do not have the high emissions in the blue region of the visible spectrum for outdoor lighting applications," Brainard says.
