The way i see it, if we let all of these stories keep spreading, we can keep more people off the water and it'll all be for us!. So now the whole socal coast is toxic and everyone should stay away

I hear that.

I used to make fun of political blogs and the various ways they misinform the partisan extremists in order to sway elections. My take was that this would eventually cause a reality gap where the people who believed the total crap these sites put out would eventually come across as misinformed idiots, and as a result marginalize themselves. In that light is seems we now have a whole other set of false news sources that are pandering to the general public that make those blogs look like the New York Times.

Upworthy, USAHITMAN, WorldtruthTV, Viralnova, freedomshammer, (just to name a few posted on facebook this morning) along with hundreds of these non-news drama source sites are putting out total nonsense. Cutting and pasting together plagiarized material and made up trash to create a truthy mix of facts and fiction to create hits through direct misinformation.

The result is a wildly misinformed public that believes all kinds of insane bullshit.

At best this is just pure greed. Obviously the people behind these sites make money spreading this misinformation. At worst these sites could be well be funded by business interests that would benefit by a dumbed down, scientifically illiterate population, that's less concerned with the realities like day to day pollution, and completely obsessed about useless well hyped fictions.

The truth is London is closer to California then Fukushima. The Pacific is roughly half the size of the planet on the surface and holds almost 2/3rds of the earths water in its depths.

People are saying up to a million gallons of radioactive water has reached Pacific due to Fukushima. Sounds like a lot, but to put that in perspective Irvine lake holds someothing like 35 million gallons of water.

Go to google maps and search out Irvine lake. It's the biggest reservoir in it's county, and it's a decent size. Now zoom out and see how big it is compared to So. Cal or even Catalina, the whole state of California, even the US, and now zoom all the way out and see how big it is compared to the whole Pacific Ocean. Grain of sand on a beach comes to mind.

That may give you some perspective, but that's only looking at the surface area and it doesn't show the tremendous depth of the majority of the Pacific.

If someone really believes that Fukushima has contaminated 2/3rds of the planets water to the point it's toxic enough to make our California fish contaminated. I'd suggest they go to Idaho, dig a big hole in the ground, construct a Doomsday bunker, and crawl in it.

Quite simply it'd be the end of the world. The day 2/3rds the planets water is too toxic to fish from, is the day we're doomed and humanity is done.

Speaking of digging holes.

Impressive!!! I admit I have not looked at ALL the news sources in relation to this and even if I had ALL the time in the world probably never could.

Who needs quality when there is quantity.:you_rock:

No doubt it's a big conspiracy. Damned scientists are always so sneaky. :iagree:

Yet they are so good at making electronic devices, toys, and have some experience with radioactive problems .

Cooling with water... who could of seen that coming?:notworthy:

Thankyou for that impressive in depth analyses. I'm amazed by how you've taking such a complicated situation and boiled it down (no doubt with water) to it's most simplistic of terms.:cheers1:

Thank God for that. Glad you've found such a productive use of you time, and I must say I've always been impressed at your tinacity when it comes to keeping the population informed about disturbing socially realtive subjects and injustices. I'm sure you'll keep posting about this for years to come and keep us all richly informed. Thanks for That!!:gnorsi:

You should of seen the dump I took this morning. It was easily 5 tetrabecquerels.

You need to borrow a front end loader? Or a back end unloader?

Now that sounds toxic!!! I just hope you were not kayaking or you might of tainted the whole Pacific. :D

Drake, this is a discussion worth having. Thanks for posting it.

jorluivil, after almost 4000 posts, i'm surprised your telling everyone to STFU.

Fiskadoro, try not hating. You'll be a better man for it.

This is terrible, nothing good can come from this pollution. Please don't hate me for having an opinion.

:you_rock:

No brother no, it's like being at the launch, you need to show the love!

:you_rock:

No matter, where you come from. How much you love your secret honey hole. No matter how much you tried to protect your secret area.



The water is being contaminated, to what extent?


Lets just say when we start running more test on fish, as the contamination continues. California of Fish and Wildlife might just be called:

California Department of Contaminated Fish and WIldlife.


Or California is going to raise the acceptable level once again for Nuclear contamination.

Wait...you guys are still talking about this shit?

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Proud to have never posted in this thread




Wait



Dammit

I guess I'm not the only one wondering Why It's still going on.

Life's too short to worry about this all the time, we're all going to die someday whether it's from stuff that we eat, or just the way life is, it's going to happen.

Eat up!

Just think ,radiated lobsters growing to 10 to 40 lb. We will need bigger hoop nets.:cheers1:

I am too old to worry about this.

I once wore a pair of socks that had holes in them. On the big toe!


After a few hours of wearing these socks I changed them.

(Completely useless info above, just like the "research" posted earlier in the post)




A serious discussion based on facts is worth having. A bunch of Internet crap posted under the guise of data is useless. Just because you heard it or read it somewhere does not make it factual.


Frank, you should know better by now.:D

California Department of Toxic Fish and Wildlife :D

No Radiation in Malibu!!! :wsb:

Alpha area off of San Nick still has 40 pounders, well they sure did the last time I was there. But that spot is by invitation only now; and you have to be a fitted member of the club. Brewski, weren't you once a member? On a side note, I would be surprised if radiation from all those tubes heading out to sea was the cause of those lobster getting so darn large.

I hunt bigfoot.....
