I seriously think people there should wake up and smell the coffee and take a practical approach.
My reason for lack of concern about the LHC experiments has nothing at all to do with HR (Hawkings Radiation), whether it exists or not.

If you read through this thread, you will find a lot of information that events with many times the energy of anything proposed at LHC happen naturally all the time in the Earth's upper atmosphere (as cosmic rays strike the Earth). None of these events have destroyed the Earth in the last 4 billion years. There is nothing CERN could do that would threaten the Earth, even if they wanted to.
