(13,685 posts)I see you present no science to the contrary. Because there is no science to the contrary.
But you do say there is no difference between man-made and natural radiation, which as we all know is bs.
CS-134, a man-made atom which comes from nuclear reactions emits radiation that is not natural. Also it is very toxic. Lots of Cs-134 came over to the west coast and was deposited on the sea and land.
Rain washed it into the nearshore where the sea stars live. The sea stars eat mussels which filter out elements from sea water and hold those elements in their bodies. That is basic science.
Knowing how toxic Cs-134, and Cs-137 is, then it is a good theory that the sea stars were polluted with Cs, leading to maladies. Maladies which the marine scientists have yet to come to a conclusion about what is causing the maladies.
We do know the ocean has had many doses in years past of man-made nuclear atoms. And there have been other occasions of sea star wasting disease No one has ever produced any solid reason for the wasting. All they have is theories and I have mine; Radiation from radioactive Cesium is a killer, and the sea stars were dosed with it.
