Thoughts on Iran and climate change
by David Atkins
The folks at Climate Silence saw fit to take this debate tweet of mine and turn it into a photo meme for Facebook.
While it's incredibly important that Iran not acquire a nuclear weapon for a variety of reasons, there's also a dark irony that as a byproduct we're also trying to stop Iran from having nuclear energy for domestic needs, while encouraging them to spew more carbon in the air and deliver up their oil fields to multinational corporations.
This is why a combination of powerful multinational corporations and short-sighted, jockeying nation-states will destroy the world unless humanity doesn't graduate to something slightly more proactive and sane.
