CO2 is at 397.11 ppmv and there is no sign that that anything's being done about it. You're making progress in slowing down the nuclear perambulator, but not the fossil fuel juggernaut.

It's as though somebody in the FF industry had the bright idea to help focus the world's activist attention and energy onto the soft target of nuclear power, and by doing so take the heat off themselves. You may have been duped, you know - they are old hands at tactics like that. They probably counted on your self-righteousness about the anti-nuclear cause to blind you to the maneuver - and they were right.

You brag about being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Let's see some fucking evidence of it. So far you've only achieved visible progress on one front - nuclear power. I think that's all the strength "the movement" has, quite frankly. You can take down a staggering, weakened opponent who is helping you along with their own stupidity and greed. Against the big boys you're swinging impotently in the dark, out-muscled and out-maneuvered at every turn.
