I pity those who are gullible enough to be fooled by people like Kris. Most of them don't have the time to really investigate his diatribes and cut and paste sessions to find that they are either meaningless babble that doesn't relate to the question at hand or they are outright misinformation attempting to cloud the issue.

Some people "follow" his views because they don't have the time to find out how completely wrong he is.

His best "gotcha" (on him) was attempting to muddy the water by equating a nuclear explosion with the steady stream of toxic and radioactive material coming out of each and every coal power plant in the world... and then concluding that a short burst of bad stuff is important but a constant ooze of deadly pollutants is nothing to worry about at all.
