Fukushima-radiated West Co. cover up - National Human Rights | Examiner.com

Ignore the sensationalist title as it's not really much of a cover-up but it turns out that Fukushima is still releasing several thousand gallons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean every day.Maybe this is the cause of Starfish melting in the Pacific Coast, maybe not.However, it does seem that multiple independent sources in Canada, the United States and elsewhere has confirmed increasing amounts of Cesium-137 in Pacific Fish - particularly in top-of-the-chain fish like Tuna.

So when you're eating that sushi, you might want to take a potassium iodide pill.

Happy New Year!

Three Reasons Why Fukushima Radiation Has Nothing to Do with Starfish Wasting Syndrome | Deep Sea News

Starfish Wasting Disease/Syndrome (SWD/SWS) pre-Dates Fukushima by 3 to 15 years. This is probably the most self-evident of reasons. One of the earliest accounts of starfish wasting disease was recorded from Southern California (Channel Islands) in 1997 (pdf). The account of SWS in British Columbia was first documented by Bates et al. in 2009, and their data was collected in 2008. Fukushima? March 2011.

Starfish Wasting Syndrome Occurs on the East Coast as well as the Pacific. Many of the accounts alleging a Fukushima connection to Starfish Wasting Syndrome forget that there are also accounts of SWS on the east coast of the United States affecting the asteriid Asterias rubens. There is no evidence (or apparent mechanism) for Fukushima radiation to have reached the east coast and therefore the Fukushima idea is again not supported.

No other life in these regions seems to have been affected. If we watch the original British Columbia Pycnopodia die-off videos, and the later Washington state die-off vidoes, one cannot help but notice that other than the starfish, EVERYTHING else remains alive. Fish. Seaweed, encrusting animals. etc.

No dudes, there was a guy that went on a cruise and saw less fish and that's a proper study and an appropriate sample size. I mean how much variance can there be in 2 boat trips?

A sample of two is indeed statistically solid. Point to tad10 for solid science.

I dont know, all my boat trips are exactly the same. Board boat, proceed to drink, float around, return to pier when out of beer.

Risk of supervolcano eruption big enough to far greater than thought, say scientists - Science - News - The Independent



So no Yellowstone supervolcano eruption for at least a decade. Good news!

USGS: Volcano Hazards Program - Yellowstone FAQs: Questions About Supervolcanoes


QUESTION: Do scientists know if a catastrophic eruption is currently imminent at Yellowstone?
ANSWER: There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone is imminent, and such events are unlikely to occur in the next few centuries. Scientists have also found no indication of an imminent smaller eruption of lava.

Yeah, my article is a little more recent then yours. Probably should have read it before cut and pasting.

Mine is from September 2012. I'm sure things change lighting fast in the volcanology arena. Especially when reported on by a British tabloid, and not the United States Geological Survey.

Keep posting more links, tad. This is fun.

I can see you still didn't actually read the article. Nice.

Where the fuck are you even finding these sources, tad? Do you just do a google search and then immediately skip to page 20?

I did.

It sounded like something a person would write who needed to turn a column in on a Friday for his tabloid employer and he needed to crank out 1,000 words.

My source is the United States Geological Survey. Your source is some "science editor" and a study that says "Using a powerful X-ray source at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, the researchers found that the density of the magma decreased significantly at the high temperatures and pressures experienced underground."

So you found a tabloid article that was ambiguous enough to argue your retarded, i-am-pissing-my-pants-from-fear retarded assertion and the only qualification for it over my article is that its a year older. My source is a 9,000 employee government agency specifically devoted to this type of work, yours is a couple guys in France with a "powerful X-ray source".

Go change your pants and then come back and post another link for us to laugh at.

things like those large asteroids and supervolcanoes is something people shouldnt even think about. if that shit explodes/collides then your goose is cooked. either move to The moon base now or enjoy your life and forget about such things.

Oh for fuck's sake. Deep Earth Geology is about as knowable and testable, probably less actually, as deep space astronomy. Any one of you retards on either side of the argument citing an article about the probabilities of a super volcanic event are about as relevant and accurate as throwing some fucking chicken bones. GTFO.
