Well, I said it before, after the explosions, but it can be said once more. It’s a damn good thing the wind was blowing the worst of it out to sea. With the bulk of the radioactivity ending up in the ocean, Japan missed a very large radioactive bullet. Several of them actually.
If the wind had been blowing towards Tokyo when reactor three blew the fuck up, things would be so very much worse.
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20111117x2.html The cesium mess needs to be dealt with. I understand many believe if corpses are not littering the streets, nothing is wrong. But time will show the real damage exceeds the American need of immediacy. Poisoning does not show fast enough to alarm some people.
This insanity must be addressed in a positive way and brought to a successful conclusion, so we are now - more than ever - committed to sharing vital information so as to facilitate positive actions by our brothers and sisters worldwide.
The major problems, other than outright stupidity and MSM duplicity, are apathy and ignorance, or the “why worry” attitude.
BTW, "nobody’ is not necessarily everybody.
We think you have been rendering a much-needed service in attempting to sound the alert (albeit perhaps "pearls before swine…,’ considering the juvenile attacks) by the few pages we scanned in order to formulate this, our first post.
Hmm … your style reminds me of anonymous, not sure if that is by intent but it is enough to give me pause.
Not sure if you mean in the general population, or the self serving bastards that run the power plants. And are busy selling the world on how safe nuclear is.
I only meant it in regards to this forum, not the world at large.
OK now that shit really sounds like anonymous. Which makes me wonder, how does anonymous feel about this monstrous clusterfuck of stupid, denial and lies?
I’ve been thinking a lot about “the dead”, or the “number of deaths”, and realized nuclear power plants and coal power plants may have much in common, when it comes to deaths, as well as waste. Maybe money as well.
We all saw how coal power plants were instantly trotted out in order to reassure the worried that nuclear was far safer. How coal (mostly from lung damage they say) kills, the number 35,000 a year was thrown about. If that is true (and there is no way to actually know), that would be a million deaths in just the last thirty years.
A million people killed by coal power plants.
Now if the nuclear cheerleader really gave a shit about that, they might be talking about that, a lot, because that is a lot of dead people. That is a lot of lawsuits, a lot of pissed off families, a lot of suffering, and a huge drain on the economy, because the deaths were neither fast nor cheap.
So how is this like nuclear? Same thing could be happening, a million people could have died (from cancers) due to nuclear pollution in the last thirty years.
Same thing as with the coal deaths. You can’t prove it. You can’t point to even a dozen people who died and say it was due to nuclear pollution. Same for coal pollution.
Both industries benefit from the simple fact you can’t prove shit. Much less collect damages.
They both also generate a shit ton of money for those who own the power plants. Except maybe TEPCO right now.
That’s insulting as hell man. Not that you are making a baseless accusation, I expect that from the unwashed idiots of the world, but that you actually think my imagination is so vapid.
I would rant about it, but I just don’t care about you enough.

Abstract:
Amplitudes, rates, periodicities, causes and future trends of temperature variations based on tree rings for the past 2485 years on the central-eastern Tibetan Plateau were analyzed. The results showed that extreme climatic events on the Plateau, such as the Medieval Warm Period, Little Ice Age and 20th Century Warming appeared synchronously with those in other places worldwide. The largest amplitude and rate of temperature change occurred during the Eastern Jin Event (343-425 AD), and not in the late 20th century. There were significant cycles of 1324 a, 800 a, 199 a, 110 a and 2-3 a in the 2485-year temperature series. The 1324 a, 800 a, 199 a and 110 a cycles are associated with solar activity, which greatly affects the Earth surface temperature. The long-term trends (>1000 a) of temperature were controlled by the millennium-scale cycle, and amplitudes were dominated by multi-century cycles. Moreover, cold intervals corresponded to sunspot minimums. The prediction indicated that the temperature will decrease in the future until to 2068 AD and then increase again.
What does this have to do with anything? Did you really need to bump this dead horse yet again to post something completely unrelated to Fukushima?
If you thought that temperature trends in Tibet are interesting, you could have started a new thread you know. Protip: then more people might actually read it, take you seriously, and respond with a good discussion, rather than blow it off as yet another post in this crazy thread.
