“Anti-Nuclear Press Puts Japanese Lives at Risk”
Robert Zubrin of the National Review has written an article denouncing how sensational nuclear fear mongering and wild speculation about radiation is distracting people from the very real crisis among quake and tsunami survivors:
Japan currently faces a real emergency. As a result of the earthquake and the ensuing tsunami, thousands of people are dead, and tens of thousands more are missing and may be trapped under rubble, severely injured, and in danger of death by thirst or suffocation. There are over 500,000 people without shelter, with a blizzard on the way, and even the as-yet unscathed could soon face death from epidemics caused by thousands of unburied corpses.
At such a time, nothing could be more scandalous than the current campaign by much of the international press to spread panic over trivial emissions of radiological material from several disabled nuclear power stations.
