Hillary Clinton, the TPP, and Protecting Our Food

22. No, Gundersen said it would wipe out all life in the Northern hemisphere by now.

Not "may cause a spike in cancer in 20 years". Literally everything would be dead. By two years ago. Due to acute radiation sickness, not cancer.

Since not everyone in Japan is dead, much less the rest of the Northern hemisphere, you might want to consider that in putting forth Gundersen as an expert. Just because you like what he says does not mean his predictions are based in reality.

Helen Caldicott is helpful on this, as well.

Yes, you can count on an anti-nuclear advocate who has written a host of inaccurate and discredited books for the truth(tm) about Fukushima.

(And her books are available on Amazon! Now that you know who she is thanks to her dire predictions, buy today!)

Over two hundred million gallons of contaminated water are pouring into the Pacific from Fukushima every day.

How is it the same people claiming 200M gallons of water are pouring into the ocean per day, and also claiming that there's a huge problem with what to do with the contaminated water stored in tanks at Fukushima?

If they are actually dumping that vast volume of contaminated water into the ocean, well then they wouldn't have the storage problem. If they have the storage problem, then they aren't dumping water.

Pick one.

Also, you might wanna try calculating just how much precipitation falls on Japan every year. They don't have enough water to dump 200M gallons per day for years, unless they build a massive aqueduct system to supply the water to Fukushima. And stop drinking.

Again, what products have been inspected and rejected by the US due to contamination from Fukushima?

What products have actually been shown to be contaminated by Fukushima?

Japan imports little in the way of food. By your reasoning, they are consuming vast quantities of highly-contaminated food. Are they all dead yet?

You are aware that Japan actually measures the radiation from food grown in the province around the plant, and so we actually do know how much contamination there is, right?

You are also aware that Japan is not a postage stamp sized country, and thus contamination at one site does not mean the entire country is contaminated, right? Or do we need to ban wheat grown in Nebraska because of Three Mile Island?

Other countries have done this

Other countries do lots of stupid things, and lie about the reasons they are doing it. Did it occur to you that the countries "banning" imports from Japan have competing industries, and thus were not importing much of those products to begin with? And that the bans are excellent PR for boosting their industry at the expense of Japan?

Or are Japan and the US the only countries in the world that lie?
