*** She’s worried about radioactive fallout...**

We survived the 1950s and early 1960s nuke fallout when radioactive dust really was in the air. Did the plants in Japan release radioactive dust? It is obvious the libs are afraid of their own shadows.

When asked about these dismissals, several activists had the same response: Where are these so-called experts getting their funding?

A favorite tactic of the enviro-loons. They fling the same at AGW skeptics, claiming that anyone commenting against AGW on the internet obviously must be a paid troll for the oil industry.

Never mind how much money goes into the AGW cottage industry from governments and foundations. Their motives are pure, doncha know?

Pet peeve of mine, sorry. Just because someone claims something in a lawsuit, and a newspaper reports it, doesn’t make it fact.

I would take that article with grain of salt or two.

The amount of exposure necessary to make someone ill is an acute dose something greater than 25 Rem. I sincerely doubt that only a small group of sailors could get that without the entire or majority of the ship being affected also.

Cancer? That is a Looooooong developing disease. Years. Something sounds more hysterical than anything else.

"We survived the 1950s and early 1960s nuke fallout.."

I kind of miss those old days when the TV weatherman gave the Strontium-90 forecast along with the chances of rain on the evening news. Of course the news came on after a hard day riding bicycles behind the town's mosquito control DDT fog truck. Come to think of it -- that might explain a lot!

According to Wikipedia, the U.S. and U.S.S.R. combined have conducted 1769 nuclear weapons tests, which included 435 were either underwater, atmospheric, or space tests. Another 310 tests have been conducted by other known nuclear nations and maybe N. Korea.

By these loons ‘reasoning” we should have all died horrible deaths years ago.

Yeah, but has Cynthia Papermaster been eating fish from off shore Japan or standing in rain form Japan? she is in California, land of fruits and nuts.

Remember the panic in Cali when people started buying up all potassium iodide supliments when they heard that they MIGHT get a dose of radioactivity from Japan?

I had to set down with my hypocondriact sister-in-law (in Arkansas)and explain why we did not need to start taking this suppliment unless there was actual radiation in the area, and how the supliment worked.

***after a hard day riding bicycles behind the town’s mosquito control DDT fog truck. ***

Hey, I used to do that down on the Animas River in Farmington NM back in 1956!

I still remember the smell of the DDT! I miss those days!

I didn't read the whole article but I'm wondering if these people are basing their fears on real data or are they just "feeling" like there's radiation?

I bought one of these years ago so I don't have to wonder:

NukAlert

Sad to say it but there are many here on FR that are just as convinced that this is a reality.

The Army sprayed DDT to keep the mosquitoes down when I was at Ft. Eustis, Virginia in 1966. Interesting odor, sort of like a mix of b.o. and perfume.

*b.o.=body odor, not Barack 0bama :^p
