Our biggest issue is over-populationhttps://spwhitton.name//blog/entry/populationsustainability/2015-11-18T17:09:12Z2011-07-21T14:56:00Z

<p>This is interesting: over-population is portrayed as reflective of

<p>Just read this. My immediate thought is that surely an average dose is
the right way to go when we’re talking about risks to civilians who get
an average rather than swallowing alpha emitters? But then this is
probably wrong because there are alpha emitters in the air from disaster
zones flowing into them?</p>
<p>What this shows is that this debate is ridiculously difficult to have
(and also that I can’t remember any of my A-level Physics).</p>
