Sadly, Lewis Page is completely ill informed.

You niggers don't get it and never will.
Humans are the cockroaches.
Exterminate all of them.
Save mother Earth.

As importantly, where the fuck is Obama on this shit???????

>>6028386
Nope. You are.

>>6028381
One thing I would like to know is how any intelligent individual could take this article seriously.

Onsite levels of gamma radiation being used to debunk the severity of the event? No mention whatsoever of Iodine, Caesium, plutonium, or strontium anywhere within the article?

Does anybody here actually understand how this works?

>>6028405
Apparently not you, because you are a retard. There is no iodine left. All of that decayed away in the days after the initial event. Would you prefer I link to the linked-to page from Nature? It's less funny, but says the same thing.

>>6028409
Right.

>>6028409
>>6028416
You have reading comprehension problems boy. I said "iodine". Your picture says "cesium". Get back to me when you learn how to read.

>>6028419
Yeah sure.

This is in Japan, the country of unrestricted and unlitigatable waste dumping. Japanese companies frequently, as par for the course, dump shit worse than this all over their countryside and nobody bats an eye.

I'm honestly surprised they even cared to handle this one as well as they did. If not for the international attention they probably would've just ignored it and hoped it went away.

>>6028420
You do understand the concept that different elements decay at different rates, right?

>>6028422
You do understand how miraculously dense you seem, right?

>>6028424
I'm sorry that you are simply ill-informed about the actual dangers of the Fukushima accident. It is simply true that no one - minus maybe one of the onsite workers - will ever suffer negative health effects from the radiation released. This is anti-scientific fear-mongering.

And still, nobody is interested in the very real concerns we should all be having at this point.

>>6028425
But that's wrong.

>>6028428
Nature says otherwise, as does any other credible scientific resource.

Protip: LNT has been debunked for a while now.

>>6028429
Can I get a link?

>>6028419
why did you only say Iodine in dismissing OP when he mentioned several other elements at the outset?

>>6028431
I'm dismissing him because he mentioned iodine, which shows that he thinks that iodine is still a problem, which shows that he has no fucking clue what he's talking about.

>>6028434
Please go ahead, educate us.

I would dearly love to hear what you have to say in regards to the matter.

>>6028437
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-131
Half-life 8.0197 days
So, after ~80 days, about 1 part in 1000 remains. It's been several years not. Basically nothing is left.

Iodine is important in nuclear accidents because it's one if the biggest dangers if put into the environment. It accumulates in the thyroid, and easily causes cancer. That's why they distribute iodine pills after nuclear accidents, to put excess safe iodine into the body to saturate the thyroid gland (and others) to prevent uptake of radioactive iodine.

the archive says you didn't warn us at all

saged for being a faggot, don't bother replying, I'm not going to be reading your faggot thread

worst thing to worry about is cancer rates going up just like what happened after Chernobyl in Europe. But that took about 10 years to develop, in ten years cancer will be something of the past. So who cares about fukishima. Earth has been through worse and the human race has too. we will be fine...

>>6028427
how about you shut your face and stop posting fake maps idiot, fuck off

>>6028443

LOL PWNED.

>>6028443

So you just assume that I used a name and tripcode to make my previous postings?

And you feel this is definitive.

>>6028446
Cancer being a thing of the past if the best we can hope for. Truthfully this is the only comfort I can seem to find in the matter.

>>6028442
ok, you have addressed the decay of iodine 131. You should that exposure has already occurred and the damage has been done.

what you have failed to address are the many other elements involved, or how the now continuous release of iodine 131 offsets the rate of decay.

>>6028471
>>6028479
suck a dick, monkeys.

>>6028489
>what you have failed to address are the many other elements involved, or how the now continuous release of iodine 131 offsets the rate of decay.
What part was I unclear about? There is no more radioactive iodine. Ergo, it is not being "continuously released".

>Fukushima-Contamination-Pacific-Ocean.jpg

That's a fat lump of evidence that you have no idea what you're talking about. That plot has nothing to do with contamination, it is actually a plot of the wave hight of the tsunami.

>>6028446
The claimed rise in cancer after Chernobyl is hotly contested. As it affects an entire continent every other geographic factor cannot be isolated so nothing can be linked to the event.
Models of expected cancer rates are again contested.

You fucking tit, that's a tsunami height map

>So you just assume that I used a name and tripcode to make my previous postings?

not person above but according to the /sci/ archives you've been posting under that trip nonstop since june

not one of those posts mention fukushima apart from this one

>>6028372

>>6028432
outdated information

...
so can I eat this can of tuna or not

>>6028550
Nope.

>>6028549

>>6028372
Anybody know what this map is actually measuring? I see it says cm but it doesnt appear to be measuring water level?

>>6028577
see:
>>6028497

>>6028579
but this doesn't make any sense? i cant seem to put it into words, look at the image closely, the levels are high near japan and spread off into the ocean, it does look more like a map of contamination levels to me.

the earthquake originated very close to japan
epicenter shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami
also keep in mind that waves get bigger when in shallower coastal water
