Toxic move radiates outrage

Japan’s plan to dump radioactive wastewater has fuelled anger among its neighbours, environmental groups and people in the Pacific Islands. MONDAY marked the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, regarded as the worst nuclear accident in history. But some scientists contend that the damage caused by an earthquake and tsunami to Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant 10 years ago was equally severe. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) classified both as “Level 7” nuclear disasters, as they caused massive health and environmental destruction. The Chernobyl calamity, which killed 30 people within two weeks, was caused by the flawed reactor design and operation by poorly trained personnel. The explosion at the plant, 110km from Kiev in Ukraine, shattered the building and spewed 5% of the radioactive reactor core, dispersing the toxicity to many parts of Europe.

Building bridges, burning bridges: Biden s climate change summit

President Joe Biden’s two-day climate change summit, which was timed to coincide with Earth Day in the US and continues tomorrow, is intended to rebuild bridges with most of world that were damaged by four years of Donald Trump’s climate-denial policies. However, it also looks likely to burn a few bridges as well. Biden took executive action on his first day in office to reverse the Trump withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and announced a virtual ‘Leaders Summit on Climate’ to galvanise a global effort to tackle the climate crisis. Along with domestic policy reversals, Biden is looking to use the meeting to burnish American claims to leadership again on this critical international issue. In support of this aim, critics as well as proponents of international action have been included.
