Fukushima's Radiation Goes Largely Uncovered: A Clear and Present Danger to the US
Fukushima and largest toxic algae bloom in recorded history
There are a lot of reports about the largest toxic algae bloom in the Pacific, but no one in the mainstream media, to my knowledge, has connected the dots between the release of thousands of tons of burning hot cancerous radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean for the last five years and the development of the toxic algae that continues to grow and poison everything it touches. To date, fish, crabs and most seafood cannot be sold to the public because theyre toxic from the algae. In addition to the health-risk problems, like the billion dollar fishing industry that died from the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill catastrophe, so too, generations of Pacific fishermen are losing their incomes.
Mainstream reporters, politicians, NOAA scientists just cant see the causal links between Fukushima that is boiling the Pacific and the growing toxic algae for some inexplicable reason. In fact, they go out of their way to deny any connection between five years of dumping thousands of tons of hot radioactive water into the Pacific and the creation of the toxic algae which started to grow after 2011.
In Fukushima, writes Dr. Helen Caldicott, it is not over. Everyday, four hundred tons of highly radioactive water pours into the Pacific and heads towards the U.S. Because the radiation accumulates in fish, we get that too. The U.S. government is not testing the water, not testing the fish, and not testing the ambient air. Also, people in Japan are eating radiation every day.
Why have they not speculated on the causal connection? My guess is that the nuclear oligarchs are as powerfully wealthy as the oil oligarchs. After all, how can the nuclear investors sell nuclear power to China or start a revival of nuclear power in the U.S. or anywhere else if all the facts on Fukushima were to be reported on a regular basis in the mainstream news? Hence: media blackout.
You dont need to be a nuclear physicist or a marine biologist to see that the Pacific Ocean is heating up faster than anything global warming could have created. The sudden acceleration is from Fukushimas radioactive water, thus producing the largest toxic algae in history that will continue to expand as long as Japan continues to dump radioactive water into the Pacific.
The radioactive water that is being released into the Pacific Ocean near Fukushima is so hot and toxic that it is literally boiling the ocean.
Think of it this way: dumping hundreds of tons of cancerous, hot radioactive water every day, year after year, into the Pacific Ocean amounts to global warming on steroids. In other words, its the most catastrophic weapon of mass destruction known to man, resulting in an acceleration of mass extinction.

We don't have much if any transparency on this issue/event. If governments
weren't beholding to corporations we might have more honest communication
and quite possibly collective collaboration in solving the troubling issues
that are emerging. People don't only want to protect themselves and their societies
but they want to help.

Thanks.

You need only the most basic understanding of science and mathematics to know that the OP is complete nonsense.

(26,749 posts)As with climate change, the scientific community is pretty much unanimous here.
Similarly - there are a handful of fringe internet woo merchants making a living peddling FUD.
AuntPatsy
(9,904 posts)days peddled it as the true dangers now being reported highly unlikely... I recall that vividly..
Granted, today is different, but the deniers then attempted to label woo on many in the science communities predictions....

(26,749 posts)In both cases, the scientifically illiterate disagreed with the scientists and claimed that the government was lying to them.
Nothing has changed except that this time, there are people on DU peddling the woo (or at least buying it).
