Fukushima Weather: That kinda warm snow we got this morning? That didn't happen. And even if it did, it was completely harmless. So go back to gossiping and posturing and bickering about your petty shit cause it's yesterdays news and all taken care of. Kind of. In the sense that we'll take care of it like we do most of our ugly toxic problems: by dumping it in the ocean.
The water used to cool the still melting down reactors, water that is now so radioactively hot that it burns flesh off will be pumped out into the ocean and "diluted to safe levels."
Just. Like. Oil. In. The. Gulf.
All better now...
But it's not really so bad because we fuck shit up like this all time!
Take for random example the town of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, a little place near where I grew up up.
Read that one through couple of times: A nuclear reactor, a nuclear waste site, a literal river of chicken shit, and factory that makes chicken food with arsenic in it, all of which have made people, lots of people, very sick. But a court ruled that it was all just natural causes and nobody's fault. Certainly not the fault of failing state regulation of safety standards or a corrupted and incompetent corporation."No, we have no idea why your child's testicles have turned into festering tumors, and so have many of the other testicles in town, but it is surly mere coincidence, a medical mystery, unknown but quite usual, and not at all being caused by the toxic industrial wasteland we have made of your lives."
Atomic Energy: Just like the fifties, but, you know, everywhere and way fucking scarier.
Fun Nuclear Bonus Fact!
The United States Military alone has used upwards of one hundred tons of depleted uranium ammunition in Afghanistan, the fallout of which not only poisons our own soldiers but has led to an entire generation of children with birth defects and the highest rates leukemia in the world.
