I think you really need to think about who the you is that you're addressing here.

It's very easy to dismiss any information you disagree with if you over-generalize like that.

For example: "You told us the earth was headed for a new ice age. Why should we believe you now when you say it's getting too warm?"

I agree, but I think it's pretty obvious he was addressing everyone who said: "Nuclear power is safe, those who say otherwise are not realistic".
That's my point, they're conflating everyone now saying "nuclear power is safe", with some people 60 years ago who said "nuclear power is safe". I didn't mean that who they were addressing was unclear.
