I thank Bennyboy, who himself was originally interested in this article, for a good debunking: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15903 . That debunking article is worth reading so I will not self-delete...
http://www.globalresearch.ca/28-signs-that-the-west-coast-is-being-absolutely-fried-with-nuclear-radiation-from-fukushima/5355280
25. According to a recent Planet Infowars report, the California coastline is being transformed into a dead zone
The California coastline is becoming like a dead zone.
If you havent been to a California beach lately, you probably dont know that the rocks are unnaturally CLEAN theres hardly any kelp, barnacles, sea urchins, etc. anymore and the tide pools are similarly eerily devoid of crabs, snails and other scurrying signs of life and especially as compared to 10 15 years ago when one was wise to wear tennis shoes on a trip to the beach in order to avoid cutting ones feet on all the STUFF of life broken shells, bones, glass, driftwood, etc.
There are also days when I am hard-pressed to find even a half dozen seagulls and/or terns on the county beach.
You can still find a few gulls trolling the picnic areas and some of the restaurants (with outdoor seating areas) for food, of course, but, when I think back to 10 15 years ago, the skies and ALL the beaches were literally filled with seagulls and the haunting sound of their cries both day and night
NOW its unnaturally quiet.
26. A study conducted last year came to the conclusion that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster could negatively affect human life along the west coast of North America from Mexico to Alaska for decades.
27. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is being projected that the cleanup of Fukushima could take up to 40 years to complete.
28. Yale Professor Charles Perrow is warning that if the cleanup of Fukushima is not handled with 100% precision that humanity could be threatened for thousands of years
Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause a nuclear reaction that would be uncontrollable. The radiation emitted from all these rods, if they are not continually cool and kept separate, would require the evacuation of surrounding areas including Tokyo. Because of the radiation at the site the 6,375 rods in the common storage pool could not be continuously cooled; they would fission and all of humanity will be threatened, for thousands of years.
Are you starting to understand why so many people are so deeply concerned about what is going on at Fukushima?

(10,440 posts)1. That story debunked in here...
http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15903
I've posted it, in two different sources and here is something that debunks it. Does that mean everything is hunky dory and i should be planting pot in Fukushima provence? well no. , but that story is not what we need to be passing around, lets work at as much truth as we can.
I am trying to keep a FUKU News thread going that contains actual news about the disaster. I will post this thread and the debunking thread in a minute....
