These guys claim that the isotopes wont get high enough to make it all this way. They are not nuclear scientists however.

The MSM want you to worry about this! Work your self into a tizzy about it.

Stare at the TV, “listen to my voice.” “You will worry about this even thought it is on the other side of the planet.”

People who are worried about this do not need a map, they need a globe.

Ultimately we have to depend our own common sense and protect ourselves and our families as best we can.

All the best to everyone.

Nothing I see shows any indication of airborne sensors over the Pacific indicating any radioactive material has made it any signficant distance eastwards from Japan. These atmospheric experts are discussing pure hypotheticals and it is being treated as news.

Understand this.........governments lie lie and lie some more.

And the MSM is known to lie and hyperventilate to push their agenda as well. The MSM is known to be infested with liberals, and liberals tend to be anti-nuclear nutbars with an reason to hype the risks here.

So who should I believe here? Scientists with hard information that can be verified or disproven independently by other scientists at some point in time? Or MSM spinners who are seldom if ever held accountable for their BS?

You have to look at the source.

Sometimes, and sometimes they don't. In this case, I don't have to listen to the government, there are independent scientists and research that I can base my opinions on. You do what you feel you have to, thats up to you, but there are others with a differing opinion and its not all because of government lies.

How much is a radiation detector and how common are they?

It would seem to be a fact that can not be hidden.

Bwaaaahaaahaaahaaaa!!!! Small amount of radiation but no health risk?

So many Kalifornians are so deathly afraid a fart will escape into the atmosphere they catch them with a wine snifter and inhale them! That very word, radiation, sends a sphincter-clinching cringe up and down their spines, but what the government, UN or whatever doofus is saying this will allay their worst Progressive ECOCONSCIOUS fears?

As much as I dislike that locale, I wouldn't mind ambling about the populace to see the faces of those that first hear this tripe.....

The debate is over, there can be no more dispute...

it is all George W. Bush’s fault.

Obama inherited this mess.

The only way to stop the ratiation is to impose a millionare tax.
