LLAW’s THOUGHTS & COMMENTS:

Well, what to say about the major ‘All Things Nuclear’ news for today? Nothing but the media passing along the “Bulletin of Atomic Scientists” (which I have beaten to death over the last 3+ Posts) keeping the Doomsday Clock at 90 seconds with the exception of two articles about Trudeau wrongly using the Federal Emergencies Act against truckers, two stories about the future of ‘fossil fuels’, a couple of nuclear power plant growth, delays, and a couple of concerns, influences from the Russia/Ukraine war.
So that leaves only the “Yellowstone Caldera” bonus category, which is an old Art Bell “Cost to Coast” show from May of 2004 that tells us how a Yellowstone eruption could cause a new ice age of which I did not bother to look at the details other than this:

Researcher Robert Felix, who argued that the planet was on the precipice of another ice age. He explained that this could come about as a result of increasing ocean temperatures adding significant moisture to the air followed by the explosion of the Yellowstone caldera, which would reduce the global temperature by 20 degrees, causing significant snowfall around the planet. (The link is Posted below in the ‘Yellowstone Caldera’ category, in case you would like to listen . . .)

Tomorrow will be another day, of course, so we’ll leave today at that . . . ~llaw


ABOUT THE FOLLOWING ACCESS TO “LLAW’S ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” RELATED MEDIA:

There are 6 categories (including a bonus category at the end for news about the Yellowstone caldera and other volcanic and caldera activity that also play an important role in humanity’s lives) as do ‘all things nuclear’ for you to pick from, usually with up to 3 links to the most important media stories in each category, but sometimes fewer and occasionally even none (especially so with the Yellowstone Caldera). The Categories are listed below in their usual order:

  1. All Things Nuclear
  2. Nuclear Power
  3. Nuclear War
  4. Nuclear Power Emergencies
  5. Nuclear War Threats
  6. Yellowstone Caldera (There is one Yellowstone Caldera bonus story available in tonight’s Post.)

Whenever there is an underlined link to a Category media news story, if you press or click on the link provided, you no longer have to cut and paste to your web browser, since this Post’s link will take you directly to the article in your browser.

A current Digest of major nuclear media headlines with automated links is listed below by nuclear Category (per above). If a category heading does not appear, it means there was no news reported from this category today. There is one Yellowstone Caldera bonus story available at the end of this Post.

(A reminder, just in case: When linked, the access to the media story will be underlined. If there is no link to a media story of interest you can still copy and paste the headline and lead line into your browser to find the article you are seeking. Hopefully this will never happen.)
