Top Scientist: “Fukushima is the most terrifying"
Energy News ^ | 11/02/2013 | N/A

Posted on 11/08/2013 3:36:16 PM PST by Carbonsteel

Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine. You ask, what can we do? First of all you have got a government that is in total collusion with Tepco, they’re lying through their teeth. […] The fourth one has been so badly damaged that the fear is if there’s another quake of a 7 or above that that building will go, and then all hell breaks loose. And the probability of a 7 or above quake in the next 3 years is over 95%. […] They don’t know what to do. We need to get a group of international experts to go in with complete freedom to do what they suggest. Right now the Japanese government has too much pride to admit that. I’ve seen a paper which says that if in fact the fourth plant goes under an earthquake and those rods are exposed, it’s bye-bye Japan, and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate. Now if that isn’t terrifying, I don’t know what is.

Fear-mongering?

Maybe we should worry?

I still don't know what to think about this sometimes.

Nonsense.
Even Castle Bravo at 15MT only thru fallout 200 miles after they blew up an entire island.

Proof enough for me ...

If I’m not mistaken even the biggest bomb only detonates a few pounds of material.

With Fukushima, we’re dealing with several tons, including what they have sitting out in the cooling ponds.

Please keep in clarity what is happening: Japan was one of the last big nuclear nations, with quite a bit of power coming from those reactors. It has been the clearly stated goal of many to see every single nuclear reactor around the planet shut down.

And nine times out of ten, you compare the names behind a report, and you’ll find their anti-nuke testimony all over the web.

But of course, they’re the ONLY ones who aren’t blind and can see it clearly... *sigh*

I’ll take any house within 20 miles of the nuclear plant and perfectly enjoy my long life.

I ran across this article about Fukushima not too long ago... very interesting.

A giant solar flare disables all airliners currently in the air. They all crash. Millions die in the space of a few minutes. Together with that, there is a magnitude 14 earthquake that collapses all hydroelectric dams on Earth at the same time. Dozens of cities are wiped out and billions die. All chemical plants are also wrecked and the atmosphere is polluted beyond redemption. All life on Earth ends.

Now, if that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is. And it is equally plausible.

I started reading the article and it started sounding like one of the “top global warming scientist’s” total doom and gloom type of bullchit. So I looked at the so called “scientist” whose claims they are - David Suzuki is the equivalent of Paul Ehrlich. You know, the one that said that the human population of the earth would be extinct by 2000 from starvation... among many other “globull warming/cooling/freezing” diatribes that have all been proven to be total... ummm, being charitable- hocum.

If David Suzuki, the “top scientist” said that the sky was blue or that the sun would rise in the morning, I’d go outside and double check because there is probably close to 99% chance he’d be wrong about both things.

So, consider the source. If David Suzuki says Fukushima is a disaster, I’m pretty well convinced that it’s probably OK and not much at all is wrong, so I can put it on my list of vacation destination spots. Remind me again how many people have died from the nuclear reactor “disaster” at Fukushima, as opposed to the number of people who have died due to medical malpractice and mis-prescribing or pharmaceutical side effects. Or even freezing weather since the globull warming alarmists have made heating costs skyrocket with their “green energy” scams.

[By the way, what *was* the population of the world when Paul Ehrlich was ranting and raving back in the 70’s about human extinction and what’s the population now? Quod erat demonstrandum.]

I think you missed that David Suzuki was awarded “Greatest Living Canadian” in 2004. No one can dispute his science...no one.

The FDA should ban pride and radiation when they ban transfats.
