I read the Fukushima article yesterday. What gets me is how they keep using the dilution argument - it's not a problem cuz it's so diluted. But if we never stop it & it just keeps spewing, at some point, it becomes a problem, right? Not to mention the worst concentration is near the area itself, so that becomes a problem much sooner. A few months ago I was at a political event & some people near me were talking about population & one woman said, "Oh that's not a problem. Look how much space there is in Wyoming!" My jaw almost hit the floor. I was glad to see some of her companions were also shocked.
You're right. You never know. McPherson may be off on the 10 year thing, but overall, it's not looking good for homo sapiens.
