In reply to the discussion: Scientists now link massive starfish die-off, warming ocean [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)11. Hilarious?
I don't fucking think so.
Some here make jokes about it, but it's a damn fucking serious matter.
Radiation is a well known toxin to all life forms.
What's funny is that some people fall all over themselves in denial of science and making excuses for the nuke industry.
For instance: Cesium was first discovered in the pacific as a result of all the nuclear bomb tests in the 60's and early 60's. tests. There's your link to your statement:
"... link radiation in general to starfish dieoffs that were first documented in the 1970's."
Have you no science in any of your accusations? Not that I have seen.

I guess you missed all the threads by 'scientists' on DU blaming the kill-off on Fukushima.

It's not how much the water varies from month to month. It's the sustained high temps

It is indeed a shame no scientists are studying the effects of Fukushima on ocean life

Agree. One step might be to elect politicians who acknowledge climate change
