	WHERE IS THE WORLD'S CONCERNS FOR THE RADIATION SPEWING INTO THE AIR AND OCEANS FROM THE JAPANESE RUNAWAY NUCLEAR REACTOR .... INSTEAD OF PIDDLING AROUND WITH CLIMATE CHANGE BULLCRAP .... COULD IT BE THAT AMERICANS COULDN'T BE TAXED AND THEIR ECONOMY RUINED IF THEY CONCENTRATED ON SHUTTING THE REACTOR DOWN OVER THE NEXT 40 YEARS?? THIS SHOULD SCARE YOUR PANTS OFF OF YOU ... The facility’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said atmospheric readings as high as 530 sieverts an hour had been recorded inside the containment vessel of reactor No 2, one of three reactors that experienced a meltdown when the plant was crippled by a huge tsunami that struck the north-east coast of Japan in March 2011. The extraordinary radiation readings highlight the scale of the task confronting thousands of workers, as pressure builds on Tepco to begin decommissioning the plant – a process that is expected to take about four decades. Tepco pointed out, however, that the camera had probed deeper inside the reactor than before and had focused on a single point. Radiation levels at other spots filmed by the camera are estimated to be much lower, it added. A single dose of one sievert is enough to cause radiation sickness and nausea; 5 sieverts would kill half those exposed to it within a month, and a single dose of 10 sieverts would prove fatal within weeks.............. ACTUAL RADIATION: (atmospheric readings as high as 530 sieverts an hour) https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/feb/03/fukushima-daiich...

Expert Posts: 1612 Location: Cocoa, Florida	This is old news, you can ask 10 people about the tsunami at Fukushima and maybe 1 out of the 10 even know or are aware of the event! Toxic levels of radiation have already been found in fish on the Hawaiian island coasts, and still spreading. I watched a whole documentary on the people who still live there and the radiation levels, it's sad, but the least of the worlds worries right now - which I admit is sad as well.

Take a Picture Posts: 12838	The thing about the Paris Climate Accord is that it limits power production with coal in the US but allows it in China and other Asian countries. I live near the largest lignite power generating plant in the world along with three or four other lignite facilities in our area. There are many people whose livelihoods depend on these powerplants which keep the cost of our power down. They burn clean and the strip mines have to be put back exactly as they were found. There is a mining area so close to my house that when the dragline moves, it shakes my house. I teach Environmental Science sometimes and these powerplants are not hurting the environment. (By the way, my husband worked at the Martin Lake powerplant) I am with Trump.
