Wait until she reads 2012. -
The media focusses on Iodine 131 and tends to ignore Cesium 137 which is much worse because it has a long half life. Wild boars in Germany still have to be tested before being eaten because some of them are too radioactive from Cesium 137 (Chernobyl) to be consumed.
If Cesium gets in your body it is much much much worse because it is an internal emitter vs an x-ray which is an external emitter and can be walked away from.
One spec of Plutonium will (not might) give you cancer.
Our governments and media are not even telling people to stay out of the rain. Rain is what brings the fallout down. Pregnant women are not even being warned and we know that fetuses and infants are exponentially more susceptible to radiation effects than adults.Comment

Wow. What a scaremonger.
But any way you look at it... the message is clear.
If we are to limit the damage to this tiny blue ball... we need to use alternative energy sources that aren't so detrimental on the environment.
It's bad enough with the population boom and resources running low.
The only future we have is one of WAR and disease, unless we are miraculously saved by divine intervention.Last edited by Xer0; 04-23-2011, 08:15 AM.Comment

Preach the Need for Change, but Never Reform too much at Once
Everyone understands the need for change in the abstract, but on the day-to-day level people are creatures of habit. Too much innovation is traumatic, and will lead to revolt. If you are new to a position of power, or an outsider trying to build a power base, make a show of respecting the old way of doing things. If change is necessary, make it feel like a gentle improvement on the past.
Hope she reads this.

I first heard Dr. Helen Caldicott speak back in the early 80's. I actually sponsored her to give a lecture at my college campus, and we showed a film she narrated, titled "If You Love This Planet", which won the 1982 Academy Award for Best Short Documentary - she is a dynamic woman and very interesting speaker.
Nice to see the good Doctor is still going strong at 72, and keeping up with her efforts to make the world a better place through enlightenment and empowerment.

And I won't read this on GFY either ... if something is so important, surely there's a text version, or at least a synopsis of what it's about.
Videos take too long compared to reading the text transcript of whatever the guy said.
If the emphasis of the video is regarding Caesium-137, then it's spot on, since that's the main reason for the evacuation zones in both Japan and in Russia (including some other places in addition to Chernobyl due to various accidents over the years).
As for Plutonium, it may be safer than what's often portrayed - many scientists who were exposed to plutonium dust have experienced few to no ill effects to themselves nor their off-spring.
Strontium-90, like Caesium-137, has a similar length half-life, and presents many of the same dangers though is less rarely mentioned, though that could simply be due to far less of it being released ... not sure, and the mainstream news media seemingly doesn't say.
