Really? So where's the data on radioactive isotopes in, say, Pacific fish caught for sale in the US? Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #12

It's too low to measure in almost all cases. FBaggins Apr 2013 #13

Exactly. The EPA isn't measuring it. The FDA isn't measuring it. My point exactly. Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #15

Sorry... wrong. FBaggins Apr 2013 #17

NOAA Sea Surface Temperatures reveals a surprising thing... Octafish Apr 2013 #56

Let me guess... FBaggins Apr 2013 #57

Nope. FBaggins Apr 2013 #59

Write what you want. Just don't smear me. Octafish Apr 2013 #68

I didn't. FBaggins Apr 2013 #69

Really? Look at the map and see for yourself where the sea surface temperatures are highest. Octafish Apr 2013 #72

Right! What else could it POSSIBLY be??? FBaggins Apr 2013 #73

The NOAA map I posted was from the last month. Yours is from 1997. Octafish Apr 2013 #74

Did that actually make sense to you? FBaggins Apr 2013 #75

2002? Big deal. It's still not what you wrote. Octafish Apr 2013 #77

It's exactly what I wrote. FBaggins Apr 2013 #80

It's still there. Which reminds me why I don't trust the nuclear industry's perspective... Octafish Apr 2013 #81

Except that it isn't "there" FBaggins Apr 2013 #82

Except. It is. Octafish Apr 2013 #83

Repeating a clear falsehood doesn't make it any less dishonest. FBaggins Apr 2013 #84

Let us compare, FBaggins. I say it's not normal. You say it is. Octafish Apr 2013 #79
