“To face the changing climate the world must forgo the medium- and long-term use of fossil
fuels and stop deluding itself that renewables controlled by the vagaries of the weather can
be a reliable replacement. We have long neglected the provision of the science education that
would ensure that everybody trusts the workings of the natural world around them.
Consequently, fossil fuel interests still dictate investment decisions that endanger human
survival. Only nuclear energy, welcomed by a confident and better-informed population,
offers a viable way forward.”
