Scientists downplay Fukushima radiation hazards

while you're at it.. maybe a bulletproof argument on why we suddenly stopped testing for air borne radiation

and why we raised the acceptable radiation levels in.. everything..

again, retarded, there are no correlations included showing the cancer and health issues resulting from all the radioactive fallout in the 50s and 60s.


it's a fake argument to claim that it appears there is less radioactivity resulting from fukashima than released in the 50s, therefore, we are all good.

Well that tears it. I'm asking for my money back.

It's not a fake argument. It's an argument meant to put things into perspective. But clearly some people aren't interested in perspective as they are only interested in blowing things way out of proportion in the hopes of adding a little excitement to their day.

But seriously, feel free to panic even if the panic may be more harmful to your health than what you are panicking over.

For god's sake even David Suzuki is looking at things more rationally than your typical Internet alarmist:

Despite Fukushima radiation, scientists say West Coast fish is safe

No point in arguing any of this further. It's obvious that for some people the sky is always falling.

I have no way of knowing whether any of that is true or false and I'm pretty sure that you don't either.

you can't just google it?

where do you get this info you're currently posting now?

you seem to be 'pretty sure' about a lot of things..

you find yourself using belief a lot?

yup, no point in arguing anymore, here is david suzuki's dire warning on fuka nuka, as opposed to the article you linked which is nothing more than an article stating that as of today, it's ok to eat seafood on the west coast.

just like the other article you posted, from the article you posted:

it's beyond insane to me to see peeps trying to lessen the impact of this, let alone make it out like people being concerned are akin to conspiracy theorists.

yea, sucks eh?

The flock never see the purple Jesus for what it is. They are loyal even when digging their own graves.

suzuki :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

he's a corporate quack and i can explain from personal experience

Link not working.

I guess I seem to be 'pretty sure' in the same way that you seem to be 'pretty sure'. And no I don't use belief a lot at all. But I do tend to try to get my information from credible sources and not from Youtube videos mashed together by typical Internet fear mongers.

Suzuki is typically one of the biggest alarmists there is especially when it comes to CAGW. I have never liked the guy but it did surprise me to see that even he, of all people, wasn't even panicking about radiation from Fukushima just yet.

Here's a handy little chart for more perspective:

I'm not trying to lessen the impact of it at all. It's a huge disaster. No question.

But it's beyond insane to me to see peeps trying to greatly exaggerate the impact of this, let alone make it out like people being rational about it are to be talked down to.

And you are worried about this why? Is there something you or anyone can do about it?

certainly you must be joking, because your first post in here was you very much talking down to others and distorting people's concerns as panic. you went on from there.

because there are no other threads to get snarky in right now! :1orglaugh

My first post was meant as a reference to the type who produce the videos like the one that started the thread. I don't believe I started out by talking down to anyone specifically and directly on this board. If I did then my bad.

But I do put scare-mongers into the same category as conspiracy theorists.

Wow... just... amazing.

Wow, good luck to us indeed!

Considering what wonderful creatures humans are I think this is way overdue actually.
