<a href="https://blackhillsballoons.com/experience/"></a> In the UK, however, there is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monbiot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">George Monbiot<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marklynas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Lynas<\/a>, each who have earned high-profile reputations as advocacy journalists. In recent years, both have made mea culpas on core green issues. With Monbiot, it&#8217;s been nuclear power, which I&#8217;ve written about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatecentral.org\/blogs\/the-nuclear-option\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/2011\/04\/05\/monbiot-goes-nuclear\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> 
<a href="https://rgprincipal.com/home/">https://rgprincipal.com/home/</a> Lynas has undergone a similar transformation&#8211;perhaps even more so: He now embraces nuclear power and GMO&#8217;s, positions he explains in his new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=the+god+species&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;index=stripbooks&amp;hvadid=11558424707&amp;ref=pd_sl_1f867afk98_e\" target=\"_blank\">book<\/a>, <em>The God Species: Saving the Planet in the Age of Humans.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> 
<a href="https://www.andrewplimmer.com/faqs/"></a> I recently interviewed Lynas for Yale Environment 360, which you can read <a href=\"http:\/\/e360.yale.edu\/feature\/britains_mark_lynas_riles_his_green_movement_allies\/2449\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. He talks about the consequences of his turnabout on nuclear power (&#8220;I&#8217;ve lost friends&#8221;), the irrationality of some anti-nuclear activists (&#8220;these people are nuts&#8221;), the concerns about GMO&#8217;s (&#8220;clearly overblown&#8221;), and a notorious pie-throwing incident ten years ago.<\/p>\n<p>
