It's a major major ecological disaster with real consequences, but most of that is bullshit or totally unrelated.

I'm sure you could pick any other part of the world and find similar wildlife anecdotes.

The bald eagle thing has already been attributed to west nile virus (coverup, tho!?!?)

Also: smell test. What incentive does the american media have to cover this up? When has the american media ever passed up a chance to sensationalize something?

That's what I was thinking

I think Fukashima is a true ecological disaster, but I think it will be many years before we see any real affects.

As far as the cancer cases for sailors on the Reagan, 35 of the 5600 people on the ship contracting cancer in the last year is MUCH lower than the national average.

What is the national average for people that are in the same age range as the sailors on that ship?

Don't know, but we're talking about 5.1% national average and 0.6% on the ship. So, probably about the same.

5.1% of people in the world get cancer every year? Interesting, if true.

Mocat can check the math, but the American Cancer Society estimates about 1,650,000 new cancer cases in the US last year, which is roughly 5% of the population of Texas
