Gasp!! Japan to dump 10,000 TONS of radioactive water!!!

[dbackjon]

the media, and people generally need to remove their heads from their collective asses.

this is a regional catastrophe - with the currents - this is a problem for northern japan's fishing fleet - and that's about it... it sucks, but if Chernobyl (so many many times worse) taught us anything - it's that nature will recover - it'll take time, and mostly people staying the fuck out of the way - but nature will recover. localized disasters like this (even the gulf oil spill) are bad - but they aren't the massive global catastrophes they are frequently made out to be.

I said the same fucking thing during the gulf oil spill and was called a fucking moron.

While it is "bad" in the moment the Earth will recover and act like humans never fucked anything up. It always has, and it always will.

Well, basically you are

Scale is important. Gulf Oil Spill put a lot more toxins in a much smaller area - they are still finding oil and dispersants in the ecosystem. This is a tiny spill compared to the BP disaster.

Small disasters keep adding up. Dismiss at your peril.

Glad I'll be dead when all this shit comes to a head and whole ecosystems we rely on start to shut down. I'll rest in peace with the comfort of knowing Z's children and grandchildren will suffer the most virulent of cancers and disease and fight horriffic wars over food and water SOLELY DUE TO THE GREED AND IGNORANCE OF THEIR FATHER AND GRANDFATHER.

D1B...pssst...the sun will eventually cool, expand, and swallow the Earth. We need to start building big mirrors so that we can defelct energy back into the sun. Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn...they don't really need the sun. Any life there is not important...we need to figure out how to keep all the sun's energy in the sun except for the part we need here on Earth. Cows need sun...and I love a good steak.

Billions of years from now we selfish humans will go to other galaxies and take their energy to live. Fvck them...go us!

"Many whole ecosystems have perished due to humans - Europe's wildlife and forests, America's forests and coral reefs and countless other.

Just not the big ones yet - the barrier reef, the amazon rain forest, the oceans - and these are dying rapidly.

Small, isolated/infrequent quantitative changes in ecosystems in and of themselves are harmless. They do add up and eventually create qualitative changes, which will kill us."

...self-important douchebags...

...you seen one, you seen 'em all.

Greedy fuck heads. You've seen one...........
