Talk:Helen Caldicott

answers, and kept quoting from a Readers' Digest article, whilst she claimed his daughter (whom Caldicott described as "highly intelligent" - presumably because she agreed with Caldicott) kept telling Reagan he was "wrong" and that his own reports were telling him what Caldicott was claiming. Amazing that a daughter of the President (unnamed) had apparently read top secret DOD reports about an issue which Caldicott never mentioned! But hey, that's OK for her to say all this about a then sitting President on a television broadcast, but it's not OK to have a section to mention criticisms of HER! In the same program she went barking on about how diseases like AIDS "come and go" (really?) whilst "radiation" is "forever" and "the children" oh the children... Caldicott herself is not a scientist. She's a pediatrician. She clearly knows very little about physics if what she says in interviews really represent her state of knowledge. She got on the anti-nuclear bandwagon because she read Neville Shute's novel "On the Beach" and watched the original film version. In actual fact, the novel doesn't accurately describe the aftermath of a nuclear war at all. But she's still plugging it. Dr Caldicott is NOT a research scientist, but a political campaigner. Essentially a non-elected politician (she's been a member of political parties, founded political groupings, and even run in elections - don't pretend she isn't a politician of a sort), and her campaigns are promoted through highly emotional rhetoric and hysteria. The above mentioned website may not be "proof" that she "lies" but IS a source of the criticisms that are made of her. If anyone quoted physics papers to refute specific claims she's made in interviews or in her books, it would be dismissed as "original research". For the article to be NPOV it should surely make a reasonable mention of the fact that she has her critics, and not be some hagiography mentioning how prominent she is in the anti-nuclear movement, which used to be highly aligned with the peace movement (hence Linus Pauling's support for her). I am not talking about personal attacks, but criticisms of her political position and claims.

curiosity, does she use precisely the same words and inflection when using that diagram at other lectures? Can you link to videos of those other lectures? It is not clear in the one lecture video produced so far that she is using the chart for anything other than graphic illustration. I'm also unpersuaded that her "came to pass" reference is about anything other than the fact that fallout occurred. In fact, she seems to contradict the statistical aspects of the chart (the 40K number; noting that the easterly winds were for only 2 days, etc.) It is for these very reasons that Knowledge policy directs us to rely on third-party reliable sources to put information from these primary sources (videos) into context. Seeing how she uses the chart in other lectures would be interesting to me, even though it wouldn't help bring your proposed additions into

does not matter if a person is poorly known if they say that 2 + 2 = 4. It is still true. It states in the following policy that a peer reviewed source is considered to be better than a self published item from a person. Helen's public statements about herself and her books are not peer reviewed (they are examples of self publication or publication by a publishing house which will publish without peer review) while all the articles I cite in which people discuss her work are peer reviewed. Thus the peer reviewed matter should be considered to be more trustworthy. Also keep in mind that no libel is being added to the article, as the statements are true. To be libel a statement must be untrue, in almost all parts of the world the absolute defense against a libel action is to show that the statement which the person objects to is true.
4011:
Helen's work is not peer reviewed and is effectively self published 3. Helen makes a thing about male reproductive organs (testies) in her comments about things like uranium and plutonium, thus when she makes a claim about that part of the body when a peer reviewed paper shows that her claim is unlikely to be true then in the interests of keeping the article NPOC it should be mentioned 4. While a bio should not be used to attack a person, it should not pander to them and accept everything they say without any form of critical thinking. I would like to ask if you would apply the same standards to Helen's bio as you would to Donald Trump. If we were to apply the standards you seem to have for Helen to Donald then we would have to remove any content from his bio which is critical of him and his time in the whitehouse.
3185:
specifically address Caldicott I think we could include them, however to just add differing opinions would not be appropriate in her bio. Many bios in WP include opinions that differ with scientific authority, for example the many U.S. politicians that disagree with climate change as a result of human activity which is agreed to by 97% of climate scientists, but we don't explain how and why they are wrong in their articles. In her bio we need to explain Caldicott's opinion on nuclear energy - if a person wants an unbiased opinion on the use of nuclear energy they can go to that specific article. But I do think that the Monbiot quotes could be improved, for example, "In a reply Caldicott claimed that tritium is particularly dangerous compared with gamma" seems an odd summary of that source, IMO.
2580:
information to BLPs isn't simply a matter of whether something is "factual", it is also governed by the significance and prevalence of that information in reliable sources. Pointing to a video clip from one source which doesn't have the required reputation for fact-checking and accuracy (neither Mays or the Thorium sources do) as proof she has used that chart, then pointing to another source (Snopes) as proof that ARS denies originating that chart, then synthesizing those together to state "that Caldicott asserts the diagram was an accurate prediction by ARS" when neither of the separate sources convey that, is inappropriate. And if no reliable source produced to date conveys this matter as being of significance, then it isn't proper content for a Knowledge BLP either.
2334:
snippets have Caldicott sourcing the diagram to ARS on March 11, 2011 and also March 2000 (perhaps she misspoke?), and she describes it as "the potential fallout" and notes fallout eventually had come to pass, which doesn't seem controversial — and is a little different than "stated that the events predicted in the 2011 diagram 'had came to pass'". She then goes on to declare that ambient radiation in Seattle went up 40,000 times above normal (something apparently not indicated at all by the chart). Do I understand it is your intent to convey to readers that Caldicott is attributing a diagram to ARS while knowing they deny producing it? Do you have a reliable source that makes that assertion, or are you

results of scientific experiments, I recall that one of the Knowledge principles is that undue weight should not be given to fringe views. I hold the view that if she makes a claim we should consider how it compares with other literature. The other literature being based on real experiments and being peer reviewed should be trusted more than a claim made by Helen (Her claims are not normally ever subject to peer review). So I think we should mention and discuss opposing views. I hold the view that there should be no original work on wikipedia by the editors, so we should not use our own views on subjects, instead if someone else has published a good quality review on a topic we should use it instead.
3212:
the other two pages. I have checked and you have not edited the page about D. Ganser (at least in the last 150 edits) so it is clear that in the case of the two peace studies people vs Helen that you could never be accused of having a double standard. But I think that the issue should be considered of why on wikipedia why it is not OK to discuss Helen's views and statements while it is OK for someone to be critical of Gatung and/or Ganser. I would err on the side of allowing some discussion of Helen's ideas as long as the criticism is sourced to someone else's work or is the clear product of standard methods in science / medicine or another academic discipline.

understand how that fact can be made available to Knowledge. Because no single "reliable" source is going to show her presenting that diagram. Reliable sources would not allow anyone to broadcast that diagram as being a confirmed prediction of 2011 events. However, taken together, multiple video accounts of Caldicott presenting that diagram must constitute a reliable record of the contents of her presentation on Fukushima. Non-narrative video accounts... captures of her lectures. I'd have thought a single lecture capture would suffice. Is there a reasonable number of non-narrative captures which can constitute reliability?
519: 2372:"This was released by the Australian Radiation Service on March the 11th in March 2000 and this was the potential fallout which has actually come to pass. So here is Japan and here are you. And this is the airborne radiation. And for the first 2 days the wind was blowing from the west towards the east towards you, and the ambient radiation in Seattle went up 40,000 times above normal. Did you know that? And if you didn't know it why didn't you know it? And if you weren't told by the government why not because you elect the government to represent you, and not the corporations. Huh?" 1401:"The Better Business Bureau recently recommended that the Nuclear Energy Institute pull its advertising that claims atomic reactors are clean and nonpolluting. The NEI is an industry front group. The BBB says that reactors cause thermal pollution in their outtake pipes and cooling towers, and also create substantial amounts of greenhouse gases in uranium production. In short, the Better Business Bureau has punctured the industry's claim the Vermont Yankee and other reactors are any kind of solution for climate chaos. The idea that VY is a "green" facility is utter nonsense." 479: 312: 1354:
science and/or are not factual from the point of view of a physicist. Again, I am not the writer of the criticism, but Helen is known in the industry as being very good at appealing to emotion rather than logic. People are emotional when they hear the word "radiation" or "nuclear" but it is unfair to label an entire industry as "liars" when it is unprovable. I think the writer of the criticism was pointing out references to people who have examined Helen's arguments, point by point, and shown how they are flawed when examined against science.
1412:"The ensuing days were filled with tension, the possibility of an explosion from a hydrogen bubble growing inside the reactor, the visit of President Jimmy Carter and the governor to the plant, the planning for a massive evacuation of the residents of the area in case things got worse, continuing releases of inert radioactive gases from the stack, the hoard of press from all over the world, and finally, the subsequent relaxation of the recommendation for evacuation based upon the knowledge that there was no potential for an explosion. 227: 73: 3853:"This article profiles two important leaders of the anti-nuclear weapons movement in the United States during the early 1980s. Helen Caldicott and Randall Forsberg were visionary, transformational leaders who crossed a variety of boundaries for the common good, and as such are prime exemplars of integrative leadership in action. Caldicott was a charismatic figure who used her status as physician and mother to rally a worldwide movement opposed to the ongoing proliferation of nuclear weapons and talk of “winnable” nuclear war." 1904:), but anti-authoritarian and individualist left wing organizations and individual efforts are kept out of Knowledge as "insignificant", or have small, token entries if any. We are told that one side must accept the "Warts and All" treatment, but not the other. This is not surprising in a country such as the United States - in which opinions are manipulated by those in power through the media and on the Internet through spin or omission, rather than outright force, but I do not believe it was what Knowledge was intended for. 3875:
keep in mind that the abstract is a summary of a paper which is often the authors thoughts on what is in the paper and why people should read it. I also find it shocking that you dismiss academics who have a far greater impact intellectually than Helen. She has a pathetic h index when compared with the academics who have commented on her. Maybe you should go and read what these academics have written about Helen before you pass judgement on them. Some of what they have written is free to the public to read.
2347:
most controversial assertions (40K times normal levels?) don't appear to refer to the chart at all. The diagram you describe as "debunked" (actually, Snopes only says that ARS says the information released under their logo is "information has not originated from ARS") is apparently still being used by a notable lecturer, so one would expect there would be reliable sources which explain why, right? Those are the secondary sources we need here to construct encyclopedic content regarding this matter. Regards,
409: 203: 1539:
I am saying is that if you are going to state in Caldicott's Wiki article that she is incorrect, you have to be able to back up your statement with a source that meets Wiki's standards. I have already asked Starkrm to use quotes, for instance "Stewart Peterson, a data analyst and blogger at the pro-nuclear site NEI...". Of course the problem is obvious since there are an equal number of bloggers at the anti sites that will dispute everything that Peterson has to say.

focuses on nuclear and sequestration technologies (Vattenfall AB, 2006). The Report relies on Vattenfall's claim that its nuclear plants emit "less CO2 than any of its other energy production mechanisms" including solar, wind and biomass (Sevior et al, 2006c). The website does not reference any other study and thus raises many questions about the authority of such information, particularly given the commercial interests from the company promoting such data.

The Late Jade Goody is a household name in the UK, but her thoughts on UK geography are not more valid just because people have heard of her. I say poorly known geography expert who knows that Cambridge is north of London and Aberdeen is in Scotland is more right than Jade.
457: 1195:
Helen directly and factually state the criticisms against her argument. Mention should be made that Helen appeals to emotion and not to science in her criticism about the industry. I shouldn't need to remind you that wikipedia has a written policy of "Do not simply revert changes in a dispute. When someone makes an edit you consider biased or inaccurate, improve the edit, rather than reverting it." STOP REVERTING IT, improve it.

science, it stands up to scientific peer review, proper scientific method, and experimental test, or it does not. It's straightforward to work out what the truth is, on questions of science, and very hard to get away with saying, oh, but they're a biased such-and-such group, if they've done the science properly, and published the details of their work so they can be subjected to various degrees of peer review.

article in the same magazine. Foreman is a university academic who has done research on nuclear accidents and has written review articles on nuclear accidents. He concentrates on the chemistry but has considered the reasoning of other people working in the field. The rather long text of the review is free to read as it is open access and has been published in a peer reviewed journal.
1622:"The factual and scientific integrity of Dr. Caldicott's claims and books on nuclear issues are repeatedly challenged, and in some cases, have been demonstrated to be scientifically flawed." The references here are examples of the clear demonstration (whatever other motives the websites quoted may have is irrelevant to this particular case) that the science Helen uses is flawed 4213:
So when dealing with her intellectual output on nuclear matters the secondary sources of Eland and Foreman are important. The one by Foreman was peer reviewed which adds to its weight. I am not sure about the review process for Eland's book review. What do you think of the two sources that I discuss, please have a read of the parts of the Foreman review and then get back to me.

I simply suggested leaving it as it was until those few days were up.

pro-nuclear is not the point. It does not matter. They logically bring up a basis to dispute what Helen has to say. Helen is decidedly anti-nuclear. It is a part of her biography. To disallow a reference from a well documented web site because of it's pro or anti nuclear advocacy is to be overtly POV. The criticism is valid and should remain.

3088:, College of Engineering, radiation contaminants that fell on the Pennsylvania grass found their way into the milk of the local dairy cows. Caldicott noted this was contrary to the findings in the government official report released shortly after the Three Mile Island disaster. Caldicott disputes this report in her book, 1603:"As a vocal opponent of the nuclear industry in all its forms, with an uncompromising style, Caldicott has faced a degree of criticism." This is an absolutely true statement and does not contain one shred of negativity about Helen. She is an uncompromising vocal opponent of the nuclear industry and has faced criticism. 1004:

Controversy over some of Dr. Caldicott's statements exists. It's not wrong for Knowledge to describe that controversy in a separate section — call it what you will.

Just checking in on this. I work with Dr. Caldicott. The statement "uncompromisingly provocative style" is, in my opinion a statement of opinion and not a description of rhetorical style which could be done if someone was interested, but as it is now, I don't this it's a fair statement for a living

Dr. caldicott has mentioned many times the widespread, long-term, genetic harm nuclear weapon use will cause. She notes that Japan has seen this very effect from the 1945 bombings. The fact is there is zero scientific evidence the two nuclear weapons dropped on Japan have resulted in any, let alone

To suggest we rid ourselves of all nuclear weapons and systems is akin to suggesting we rid ourselves of all guns and bullets. These suggestions are equally naive. There is factual evidence that the US and Soviet Union did not engage in nuclear conflict because of each other's nuclear capabilities.

Ed Mays archive is only a video recording of what took place in the lecture hall. The only edits are those announced with fancy-wipe between the clearly indicated end-of-lecture and beginning of Q&A. It isn't a narrative piece. It is just Caldicott, delivering her talk in as far as I can tell,

My intent is not to convey to Knowledge readers that Caldicott is attributing a diagram to ARS while knowing they deny producing it, because I can't know that to a Knowledge standard. I'd like to convey that she's using a chart shown to be inaccurate since 2011, still, in 2014. And although I know

For all I know, this criticism itself may be "outrageous" and "without any basis in fact" since I tried to google for information to substantiate this claim, but I didn't come up with much other than a letter to the editor of a newspaper of some years ago. Clearly this statement needs to have some

No we do not know that Caldicott would agree that she has an uncompromising provotative style or that it would be something that she would be proud of. Remember that others with a different POV than yours would state she is not afraid to stand up to the nuclear energy industry and tell the truth
1051:
Though I do agree the previous entry was biased and unverifiable, I think it would be quite relevant to include a section discussing criticism of Dr. Caldicott, as she indeed is very often criticized and labelled an "alarmist". People who read up about her would probably want to be aware of that.

When she says "the ambient radiation in Seattle went up 40,000 times above normal" she stops using the pointer and addresses the audience. I have no idea if she's trying to restate the diagram with different units of measure, or if she's throwing out new numbers without citing a source. It seems

Look, if you're talking about a factual scientific claim, for example the claim that 90-Sr did or did not get into Hershey's chocolate after Three Mile Island, and people like Caldicott say that it did, and groups like NEI say that it did not, then clearly one of the two must be wrong.
