Below is a seven minute video giving a depiction of all of the nuclear tests that have occurred on our planet from 1945-1998. While it is true there is natural background radiation in the environment there is also radiation remaining in our environment from the one-thousand plus nuclear bombs that have been exploded. Since there was no extensive background testing prior to the nuclear age it is not really known what part is normal and natural and what part is man-made but what is known is that there is a great deal of health-sapping man-made radioisotopes, such as cesium, plutonium and strontium, that would not exist without nuclear bombs and power plants. Watch all seven minutes below. It is very telling.
Modern industrial society is a fanatical religion. We are demolishing, poisoning, destroying all life-systems on the planet. We are signing IOUs our children will not be able to pay...We are acting as if we were the last generation on the planet. Without a radical change in heart, in mind, in vision, the earth will end up like Venus, charred and dead. – Jose Antonio Lutzenberger, Brazilian Minister for the Environment
