The authors of that study frequently say that they don't have evidence that LNT is not the correct model.
atomicalgebra's assertion was that the LNT is not the correct model.
The report says that there is no evidence that LNT is not the correct model.
The linked report says that there is no evidence for atomicalgebra's assertion.
I have to disagree with your characterization of climate change as a 'slow catastrophe.' We're already seeing severe impacts TODAY -
All I can say here is, you ain't seen nothing yet.
It's not a fringe. All the evidence demonstrates the linear no threshold is wrong
All the evidence shows it's wrong... assuming that you dismiss all the evidence that shows it isn't wrong.
I gave a reference. I can give some more, if you need, but since you didn't read the National Academies of Sciences one, I doubt you'd read others.
Nope. Linear no-threshold is bullshit science.
Yeah, indeed there is a fringe that asserts that. There are even people asserting that low levels of radiation are good for you.
The belief is, however, is dubious, and not supported by good data. A review of the science is here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnap.nationalacademies.... .
Every euro not invested in climate protection will cause 10-100 euros more in debt in 10 years.
No, your time scale is off. Yes, climate change is real; and yes, climate change will have bad effects; but climate change is a slow catastrophe. Think 20, 30, 50, a hundred years down the road. The "climate protection" needed is primarily negative actions: stop investing money into assets that are in locations that will be vulnerable to climate change.
But the main mitigation is to stop putting carbon dioxide into the air now that will continue to be warming the climate in 20, 30, 50, and a hundred years from now.
And nuclear is not "way too late", because those people living 10, 20, 50, and a hundred years in the future will also need to not put carbon dioxide into the air.
For something to be radioactive enough to harm a human it has to have a short half-life like iodine 131 with a half life of 8 days. Anything with a half life in the thousands of years is not dangerous enough to harm a human being.
Sorry, not quite accurate.
"Not dangerous to harm a human in a short exposure" would be correct.
Note that the harm for low-dose exposure is an increased number of cancer deaths, rather than people dying immediately from radiation sickness. But it's still deaths.
SMR is a waste, it only generates more nuclear waste and more parts have to be decommissioned.
All nuclear plants produce nuclear waste and parts that have to be decommissioned.
... OK, looking at old information sites about the mission, I see that while Ulysses looked at both solar poles with instruments like magnetometers and plasma probes, it didn't have a camera. So it made observations of the solar pole but this is the first mission to actually take images of the poles.

What about the Ulysses mission, the first solar polar orbiter?

I like the Google AI summaries.
I detest Google AI summaries. They don't tell you where the AI got the information, so I don't have any way to know whether the informatin is reliable.
The Cebunano Wikipedia is a known embarrassment for Wikipedia,
Not sure why we care one way or another about the Wikipedia version in an obscure language. This is really your number one complaint about Wikipedia? That many of the pages in a language that about a quarter of one percent of the world speaks were produced by machine translation of articles in English? That's pretty minor.
and then there is the "Wikifunctions" project that want to make glorified templates and sql queries into "articles".
THIS is your number two complaint about Wikipedia? That it has templates to do routine math, like calculating dates?
The laughable nature of what you think is wrong with Wikipedia make me like it more. Really, if these are indeed the top two complaints you have, it's pretty damn amazing.
"And officials want to speed up the final stages of making a drug or medical device approval decision to mere weeks, citing the success of Operation Warp Speed during the Covid pandemic when workers raced to curb a spiraling death count"
This is rather contradictory, isn't it. On the one hand, the MAGA party line is that the COVID vaccine should never have been approved. On the other hand, they're saying that we need to make all drug approval like the way we approved the COVID vaccine.
Sorry, this attitude is an example of holding the phone wrong. Only an idiot would blindly trust the output an an LLM
An idiot... or the FDA, under the new "improved government efficiency by firing all the scientists" administration.
Do you believe the federal employees that were fired by RFK Jr. will not be replaced?
Yes.
"radically increase efficiency" in examining as many as 500,000 pages submitted for approval decisions.
Of course, as many as 499,000 of those pages don't exist because the AI hallucinated them.
