Westlaw searches for “global warming” and “greenhouse effect” pick up only a handful of citations before 1985. Now-Justice Breyer argued that it was misleading to consider the environmental impact of nuclear power without also considering the impact of alternatives such as coal. Awareness of the issue began slowly, however.

Those findings might surprise physicists, who will be aware that the energy density of nuclear fission is so high that just a fingertip of uranium has an energy equivalent of 5000 barrels of oil. Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe.

We know we must now work to both cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the severity of climate change and at the same time work to adapt to the impacts we can no longer avoid. That talk helped the [National Center for Atmospheric Research] scientists to see the big picture clearly and early on.” Why else use it?
