When Godzilla shows up, I’ll start to worry.
This is absolute bunk. The radiation levels are high by Japanese standards, but there were very low to begin with. Colorado and Rome both have higher radiation levels than all but the immediate vicinity around the plant at Fukushima.
More bozos getting their rocks off on trying to get people to run around screaming.
There is more foolish from the loony left. Even Chernobyl only killed a handful of people and there were no long term side effects.
No mention in the article mentioning what they are talking about. How much radiation, what is the half life. Where is the proof?
There is background radiation and the stuff from Japan falls well with in it. Besides they have found that a little radiation is actually good for you.
This is nonsense. That does not mean that everything is going to be all right. If Obama is re-elected, the world may enter a new dark age.
I have degrees in natural science and radiologic technology and more than 3 decades working in the field of radiology.
I am TOTALLY unconcerned about the risks to myself and my
family from the events in Fukushima. People here are far far far far far more likely to die in a car accident than
to suffer any negative physical effects from this incident.
You’ll probably get more radiation from living in a house with granite countertops.
Huh... Sounds like the Northern Hemisphere is primed to become a breeding place for mutants.
Like the X-Men, for example.
Hype.
More than 1000 atomic weapons were detonated just 65 miles outside of Las Vegas and it is inhabitable.
People used to watch the mushroom clouds from hotel balconies and windows.
That is more and dirtier megatonnage than the combined nuclear arsenals of India, Pakistan and North Korea.
An atomic bomb was set off right inside of Hiroshima, yet more than 5 million people live there today.
Seriously, there is a lot of speculation in that article. This event has the possibility in a worse case scenario of becoming very bad. But that would require another major quake. There are numerous unanswered questions that we are trying to get Tepco/Japan to answer, however. As a precaution, just do some prepping. Nothing bad can come from prepping. My 2cents.
I live in the US state where the government fired off 1000+ underground nukes.
No glowing tentacles growing from my forehead yet, but my wife will testify that I do have superhuman powers.
I'll watch your stuff for you.
“This is emotionally damaging. I need as many of my fellow FReepers to remind me that this is all just a bunch of overblown hype, and that everything is going to be alright, and that there is nothing wrong.”
This is just more green propaganda Fracking from the totalitarian wing of the International Green Partay.
The Sky is falling, the sky is falling! Give us a federal grant! Buahahahahaha!
My son lives in Japan, has two children, a Japanese wife and a very sensitive Geiger Counter I had sent him within a month after the Fukashima/Tsunami.
For those wishing to debunk, I can tell you that my son and his family would be the first on the plane back to the states IF there was a radiation problem, to protect his two young boys, 3 and 1.5 years old. He is in a tenure track position at an Advanced Institute of Technology, which has monitored radiation in the environment for a generation and more as a matter of continuing graduate studies. There is no problem as described in this thread article.
The only places there is a problem is in the Fukashima Area, and they continue to contain any spread of the problem by restricting the exit of anything from the effected areas, including food stuffs, used cars, steel and the like.
The Greenies just have a death wish to glow in the dark for a few seconds before they run screaming en mass over a cliff like so many lemmings.That is the mind set of most green weenies who seek totalitarian remedies with every created crisis.
A pox on all these Greenies, they are a curse upon the face
of the earth, worse than a persistent zit on the a$$ of a retired harlot who never bathes, and nobody really cares about her any more.
Good shrinks available here, 5 cents.
