Climate Denial Crock of the Week by Peter Sinclair (greenman3610 channel on You tube)

Song: "Earth" by Imogen Heap, album "Ellipse"
Crock of the Week refutes "global cooling" myth due to recent cold weather. Most of the rest of the world was above normal, and temperatures went above normal in the U.S. by Jan 15th. That is weather, not climate - and we can expect to find more record lows, even as the climate warms overall.
Shelly Thomas podcast includes a promo for "Generation IV" thorium reactors as the way to replace coal, to save the climate. Also news on cutting Internet electric use by 1000 percent by 2015.
Interview with Dr. Helen Caldicott, author of "If You Love This Planet" & "Nuclear Power: Not the Solution to Global Warming or Anything Else". We talk the new reactors for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the U.S. The continuing link between nuclear power & weapons proliferation, plus risks of supposedly new reactor tech.
Alex investigates the UAE deal, and finds Korea has promised this Sunni Gulf state cruise and ballistic missile technology, plus drones and EMP weapons, as a sweetener for a low-ball bid on building 4 reactors.
Also, notes on why Dr. James Hansen of NASA is now pushing nuclear power.
