@iCultivate There's not only sea lions and krill, I edited my post and added this article:
Radiation? Seals, Sea Lions, Polar Bears, Bald Eagles, Sea Stars, Turtles, King and Sockeye Salmon, Herring, Anchovies and Sardines In The Western Part of North America All Suffering Mysterious Diseases At the Same Time
This is getting really serious.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was an unparalleled environmental catastrophe and we will be seeing fallout from it for years to come. I honestly cannot think of any reason to fabricate a bunch of paranoid talking points to make it seem worse. Thousands of people were displaced from their home, many of them permanently. Contaminated waste was, and still is, being dumped into the water surround the plant. The energy infrastructure of an entire nation was compromised. Do we really need to blame Fukushima on a viral outbreak in British Columbia, too?
To put things in perspective, the Fukushima disaster released approximately one ten-thousandth of the total radiation produce by the world’s coal power plants annually. That number will either be reassuring or terrifying, but, really, it should be both.
There is another reason why articles like this are so compelling, particularly to those in rich, developed countries. It gives us the ability to blame the “foreign other” for our own environmental crises. It’s not our fault that salmon stocks are collapsing, it’s the Japanese! We aren’t the ones driving polar bears and marine mammal moralities, Fukushima did it! The West Coast of the United States is being fried. It’s being fried by over-fishing, agricultural run-off, runaway development, and a host of other issues, but it’s not being fried by Fukushima, and articles that promote that fallacious argument are distracting us from the dominant causes of environmental degradation on our coasts: Us.
Don't it make you wonder? People have such A hard time Reading Between the Lines / Connecting the Dots... but when you see A document dumped that says "We decided today (The E.P.A. no less) that people are just not getting enough Radiation" everybody "Eats It" Hook, Line and Sinker... WTF is wrong with people these days? :confused:
So I'm gonna ask it again for those of you who are so concerned about this issue...How often do you eat McDonald's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Burger King. Do you smoke tobacco? Drink Red Bull? Monster? Non organic produce and meat(s)?
@pinegrovedave @SoCal 420 Personally I don't eat junk food, don't smoke tobacco, and I hate red bulls or energy drinks. But even if someone like them sometimes, doesn't mean that we are guilty and deserve to be irradiated by Fukushima ! Or have to shut their mouth and don't complain cause they eat weekly at Mc Donald.
