...will finally come true and millions of people will die and you're posting giggles.
Let's say that there existed a single anti-nuke on this planet who wasn't impossibly stupid - there isn't - and that their wildest fantasies came true and someone, even lots of people actually died from Fukushima.
Would giggly faces be the best response to such a tragedy? How about the 20,000 people who died in the event from things that had nothing to do with nuclear energy? Funny?
How about the approximately 400 people who will die in the next hour from air pollution?
Are you trying to represent that antinuke ignorance is respectable in this regard?
I might be wrong about this, but I believe that only a psychopath would respond with giggles if he actually believed that a million people were about to die, even if his fear was ridiculous and the result of possibly drug induced paranoia.
I believe, with the world's most prominent climate scientist, that antinuke fear and ignorance kills people, and thus is ethically repellent, but the giggles represent a real clear reification of exactly how primitive and evil this rhetoric is.
As for the very dubious claim that "everyone knows what is happening at Fukushima" this too is garbage. If that were true, people who know nothing at all wouldn't be running around making stupid claims.
The next million people who die from energy production will not die from nuclear energy - nuclear energy never has and never will killed a million people no matter who often illiterate anti-nukes hope it will. The next million people who die from energy production will die in the next four months, just like the last million people died in the last four months, from air pollution.
This is not the rhetoric of dumb giggly stoned out uneducated thugs wiping slaked lime dust dust off their greasy bandanas while blowing dope out of their useless rock caked lungs and concrete encased brains, but it is the report of a wide variety of scientists, physicians and health officials writing in one of the world's most prominent medical journals, Lancet:

The Lancet, Volume 380, Issue 9859, Pages 2224 - 2260, 15 December 2012 <Previous Article
doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61766-8
On page 2240 of the scientific paper the authors write as follows:
Now I'm sure that there are moral cripples who might be inspired to post giggly faces on the internet on reviewing this tragic information, but normal people, with well developed moral senses are more likely to be appalled.
Irrespective of the giggles and other actions of moral cripples: Ignorance kills people.
And I am sorry to report to all the very, very, very, very stupid people who lie around on their fat asses burning gas and coal to report their Fukushima fantasies, but their actions will actually kill more people than all the inventory of all the nuclear fuel ever utilized, including all which has leaked as a result of a natural disaster at Fukushima, will ever kill.
Have a nice evening.
