View the video of cesium dispersion from Fukushima produced
by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

Majia here: If you think that the dispersion is too diluted to
affect you and your environment, I strongly recommend watching this video about
how Chernobyl fallout in California, half way across the world, decimated bird
populations who consumed new growth that had been watered by cesium-laden rain:
DeSante, Dave of the Institute for Bird Population
in Point Reyes, California interviewed in “Fukushima Fallout - Lessons from
Chernobyl by Ecological Options Network” YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hcBGSr9QGk
You can read the consequences for human infant
mortality in the US and Germany here:
Gould, Jay and Benjamin A. Goldman Deadly Deceit:
Low-level Radiation, High-level Cover-Up (New York: Four Walls Eight Windows),
1993.
Majia here: I don’t know what health risks radiocesium,
radioiodine, uranium, and plutonium from Fukushima pose for Japan, North
American and the rest of the global ecosystem.
That said, I can assure you that there will be
detrimental eco-effects generally, and for humans specifically.
It is impossible to model these effects fully and
there are very few incentives for trying.
Hats-off to the scientists, activists, and everyday
people who are doing their best to illuminate in small ways how this
catastrophe is adversely affecting dimensions of life on earth.
And to those who stifle inquiry and/or lie with
numbers, one can only hope that the effects are wrecked most directly on their
progeny so they can come to understand the fragility of life, particularly
human life.
Hat Tip to Enenews for the story
Majia, don't forget the strontium also, that is really the bogeyman.
ReplyDeleteI know that in Hawaii, after the initial dusting with uranium, plutonium, cesium, strontium, that radiation levels after a few months were stabilized at low, say 25 CPM, ALTHOUGH the flies went away for a year, and finally came back, although they came back at lower levels.
To me that is very odd effect of radiation. Farmer at TMI said the same thing.

ReplyDeleteDon't wish anything bad on their children, please. We must think positive. Fukushima has brought out a lot of strong emotions in everyone, but our hearts are stronger than Fukushima.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you're doing great work. Thanks for your unceasing efforts.
DeleteThe children are entirely innocent of wrongdoing!
DeleteI would not blame anyone but the industrial, financial, and political 'leaders' who put their greed above human and ecosystem welfare...
