An example of a true danger and problem we're facing these days is the continuing disaster at Fukushima that continues to become worse by what to me now seems to be more than criminal incompetence in how to handle the situation, irradiating its own citizens and spreading all the way till Canada and the west coast of the USA.
I quote:
"Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says in a new interview that the Japanese are burning radioactive materials. The radioactivity originated from Fukushima, but various prefectures are burning radioactive materials in their terroritories.
Gundersen says that this radioactivity ends up not only in neighboring prefectures, but in Hawaii, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington and California.
He notes that radioactive rain-outs were documented recently in British Columbia and Oklahoma with geiger counters.
Gundersen is working with scientists who will publish a paper in the near future definitively debunking Canadian and American health officials' claims that only harmless levels of radiation are being released.
Gundersen has a high-level contact in the State Department who says that the U.S. government has decided - within various agencies, including the State Department, FDA, and other agencies - to downplay the dangers from Fukushima. Because of this policy decision, the government is not really testing for radiation.
Gundersen says that well see
another year of radioactive rain-outs, as the Japanese continue to burn radioactive materials."
