Hey, good news! All that radiation is blowing out to sea!

[Atman]

It will just disappear, just like the BP oil did! Oh, thank goodness for CNN and the media corporatocracy! I feel safer already.

[Poboy]

1. Airborne microbes will eat all the radiation.

[NMDemDist2]

2. oh yay!! and right to the west coast of the Americas

oh joy!! (do i really need the.. :sarcasm: ??

[Lucian]

3. And next we'll hear about fishermen catching glowing tuna.

Mmmm...glowing tuna...

Of course, those will be safe to eat. :eyes:

[Atman]

10. I've seen the glow-in-the-dark plankton in Thailand...

...so glowing tuna would be, like, natural. And what if they had two heads? More for cat food and Dollar Store tuna! Everyone benefits. Oh, those nattering nuclear nay-bobs!

[Countdown_3_2_1]

11. Tuna sandwiches. The key to getting Super Powers!

nt

[woo me with science]

14. They will charge extra!

Glow-in-the-dark tuna!

[joshcryer]

4. Would you prefer it go over populated areas?

:shrug:

[Atman]

15. Read up, son. It's not going anywhere.

That's the point. Out to sea, in the treetops, on the ground...radioactivity doesn't just go away with the wind. So instead of the radiation turning up in your milk or brocolli, it will turn up in your fish. Or your cat's canned food. Then your cat. Are you gonna snuggle with Mittens tonight?

Radioactivity doesn't just blow away. One way or another, be it two-headed tuna or children in leukemia clusters, radioactivity will always be there to remind us of our folly.

But don't worry. These are exciting times. For the smart, creative entrepreneur this could be the opportunity of a half-lifetime!

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Hey tuna with two heads

I can see a commercial opportunity there, for fish heads. In some places it is a delicacy.

Oh and the wind is now expected to go to sea, but surface winds have gone over Tokyo a few times already

Like you, I know it ain't going away.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

5. Yes, I love how they say on TV "no worries!" The radiation is blowing "offshore"

yep. Headed due east... let's see....coming our way! But don't worry! It'll all be gone by the time it gets here.

[bluestateguy]

6. Great! Now where is the giant sucking machine that will suck the radiation out of the air?

If we wait around until about the year 2365 that technology might be invented.

[SoCalDem]

7. Yep.. It's not like anything lives in the sea.. or

that the sea touches any coastlines or that humans ever come into contact with the ocean or eat anything that comes from it.. right?? right??

[flamingdem]

8. The particles just said: "California here I come! I am hot, hot, hot

That weather dude needs to be duct taped.

[Quixote1818]

9. Maybe Godzilla really will come out of the sea now?

Mutant teen age salamnder! :nuke:

[sce56]

12. Yep they probably hope it will go straight to the north pacific gyre!

[truedelphi]

13. Already my youngest kitten seems bigger, brighter and more ferocious

Than ever! "Meow-zilla" is now demanding larger portions of food. Also, my favorite cat, Chelby, hasn't been seen for hours!

And why is Meow-zilla's tummy so big!

[Uben]

16. Hey! We've got a chemical that will eliminate the radiation!

We'll just spread it all over the Pacific Ocean and problem solved.

Huh? Marine life? What marine life?


/sarcasm

[HEyHEY]

17. Don't worry, the sea life will probably be able to talk in a few months

Then they'll give us a piece of their mind!

[GatesofPunk]

19. Seafood fans are screwed

[HEyHEY]

20. Atlantic fisherman will be driving ferraris by september

[glinda]

28. One of my boyfriends was Japanese. So I doubt it. Just saying environmentally.

I married a Native American.

[SidDithers]

23. Would you rather it blow directly into Tokyo?...

Unrec for dumb post.

Sid

[HEyHEY]

24. I think the OP is making a valid point that this doesnt' go away just cause it goes to sea n/t

[SidDithers]

25. Obviously it doesn't go away at the site of the reactor complex...

but the fact that the weather is blowing out to sea instead of toward Tokyo actually is good news.

Sid

[HEyHEY]

26. I agree, but there are still consequences, I wish the news would cover those.

[MadHound]

27. There is no "good news" in this situation,

Just shades of "less bad".
