In reply to the discussion: The Fukushima Effect [View all]Buzz Clik
(38,437 posts)39. You really aren't going to comment on any of the data, are you?
Or the fact that the data exist.
Let me pose the same question to you that I posed in response to the OP: is the Pacific ocean toxic with radiation? Harmful? Above background?
Is there any real justification for getting hysterical, or do you stir up fear just for fun?

That's right, Earl. Ignorance is your friend. When all you have to sell is fear, keep science away.

I asked a question of the author of the OP if they had any knowledge of rad dangers in the ocean.

Nothing in all that 'data' to indicate presence of radionuclides from Fukushima.

You're kinda coming in the middle of this. I was illustrating that background data are available.
