*As for Volcanic activity, in modern times the CO2 produced by human activity is far, far greater and constant. Both nuclear activity and volcanic activity have been taken into account by scientists.

You are perfectly right that it is not the intention of the thread to "diss" either the Yanks or the Poms.
HOWEVER, Realist's realistic historical comments about American atomic testing was justifiably scathing.
And I respectfully suggest that in that context, parallels between American and British actions became relevant.

Okay, Realist mentioned the American nuclear testing, but there are many more countries who have participated it testing nuclear weapons and I suspect that the total to date far exceeds the 1000 that was quoted. It's not about who did what to whom, it's about long term pollution of our planet, and I would suspect that taking account of the enormous power of a nuclear bomb the pollution would far outweigh anything that industry has produced.
I'm sorry if you took offence, I should not have lumped all our Antipodean cousins together. I meant Pummie specifically, he throws in a hand grenade and then steps back to watch the excitement. It was clearly a deviation from the topic.....
