There are legitimate concerns long term, in my view, about nuclear war and policy and stuff like that. But the world has become a better place every 20 years for the last 2,000 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Issues relating to global health and sustainability must stay high on the agenda if we are to cope with an ageing and ever-increasing population, with growing pressure on resources, and with rising global temperatures. The risks and dangers need to be assessed and then confronted.
The war on terrorism has made national security a legitimate concern, and a rising deficit, changes brought on by globalization and even the price of oil have thrown the nation's economic health into question.
I'm still bothered by the threat of nuclear war.
The nexus between terrorism and nuclear weapons, or even nuclear material, is obviously a current concern.
I've always been concerned about global warming. It seemed to me like working in nuclear power was a logical way to do something to help the environment.
I'm obviously aware that people are quite focused on the economy rather than foreign policy issues, but that is something that should and can be altered as people see the nature of the threats around the world that we face.
For while the threat of nuclear holocaust has been significantly reduced, the world remains a very unsettled and dangerous place.
I believe that worrying about the problems plaguing our planet without taking steps to confront them is absolutely irrelevant. The only thing that changes this world is taking action.
There isn't a more important issue in the world than global warming. Even the Cold War and the Bay of Pigs crisis were a notional threat.
There's always cause for concern if bad policies are pursued.
