Petitioning the United Nations - Fighting Extinction of the World!

The petition to the United Nations to ACKNOWLEDGE there is a problem with Fukushima dumping radioactive water into the Pacific ocean - estimated 300 plus tons of it every day - has not progressed with the speed of light.




The petition to have non-profit status for the National Football league removed got over 500,000 signatures - and the NFL lost their non-profit status. Surely there is more interest in the effects of Fukushima radiation on the living inhabitants of the world than the NFL!






Japan has now declared their leaking radioactive water a national emergency. They are beginning to ask for help. The United Nations continues to keep its head buried in the sand, hoping this problem will go away. However, we do not want the world population and its plants and animals to go away with the problem.




The IAEA has started a new study of Cesium in the Pacific Ocean near the Marshall Islands - a site of extensive nuclear testing when the atomic bombs were being developed. This is to be a benchmark for future studies of marine life. The United States contributed $400,000 to further this study. At least they are trying a small bit. But while a study such as this is a marker, it does not examine the more complex problem of what is causing the die off in the Pacific Ocean. If you read my previous blog, "Fukushima Radiation Releases DO Contribute to MASS DIE OFF", my opinion is that Fukushima is a contributing factor...and a big one that is not being contained. In fact, a study published July 13, 2015 of marine samples collected off Fukushima, all had radioactive ceasium present. (1)

Thus, the petition. There are lots of genius scientists in the world. However, where is the world symposium or gathering to share ideas and solutions? Where is a leader to coordinate the monitoring of information? Where is a group that would include antinuclear scientists as well as the pronuclear? The United Nations has had designated as one of its functions 'protecting the environment'. So far, their position seems to be coming from the pronuclear scientists who maintain nothing is wrong.

Below is a link to a video (that is somewhat on the long side)

HORROR " Pacific Ocean Now Dead From Fukushima Radiation "





This video points out:

The entire 200 kilometers we checked of Canadian Pacific Coast Line was devoid of all life except 4 main species and they are very patchy and we a found several other species like limpets and snails etc in tiny insignificant spots never in groups."

We do not want this death of our oceans to spread!


Thank you to all the people who read my blogs, my twitter posts, facebook, google+. I do appreciate you and even dedicated my second novel, "#Betrayal" (set after the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe) to my social media supporters. BUT...there are THOUSANDS of you and the petition is not progressing in terms of signatures fast enough. I know it takes some time to go to the change.org site and they make you put in an email address, etc. Your information will not be sold or shared with anyone else. Your privacy will not be violated. If you wish you can enter an address c/o general delivery at your local post office. And if each 1000 people that signed contacted two other people then 3000 people would be on the petition. The new 2000 people could create 4000 additional signatures. Then the issue of the Fukushima nuclear disaster might gain status equal to the National Football league.




There are other petitions circulating asking TEPCO to take action or somehow addressing the dumping of this radioactive water from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean. I have signed each and every one of them and would urge you to do so also. Unless we stand up and be heard, make government listen, we may not be here in later years to do so. Please sign the petition and ask two other people to do so also. Thank you so much!

Fukushima Radiation Releases DO Contribute to MASS DIE OFF

Scientists reveal details of unprecedented mass mortality on West Coast that began summer 2011 — “Many millions” of deaths before sea star wasting syndrome — Multiple species wiped out in days — Mortality rate of 99.99% over large region — “No documented event has been so severe”Enenews.com

This blog has been updated from last week (6/7/15) Updated material appears in yellow.

There has never been an event documented with the immensity of the Pacific coast die off which began in the summer of 2011...after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan. Initially tremendous amounts of radioactive materials were released into the Pacific ocean as the nuclear fuel rods melted down with temperatures above 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. The melted fuel soaked into the ground and contaminated the water  being poured from fireboats and from the tsunami. As it rains, more water is contaminated and leaks back into the seas. Tepco estimated two TRILLION becquerels of radiation may have flowed into the Fukushima power plant bay in the first  year.(1) During the ensuing days hydrogen gas was produced and huge explosions followed, blowing the plants to pieces and sending radioactive materials into the atmosphere to circle the world, to be breathed by all inhabitants, then be brought back to earth with the rains, settling in trees, cracks, dust, and once again entering the food and water chain. There is no known way to remove the melted fuel.

Testing of the ocean waters in certain spots reveals little contamination. But examination of a pod of 150  deceased dolphins washed up on a Japanese beach revealed bleached lung tissue which is indicative of radiation exposure. So perhaps there are hot spots, eddies and/or currents carrying radioactive particles. It has been said that ice has trapped fallen radioactive particles and when areas of ice melt there are radiation bursts released.

As radioactive elements break down heat is released. The ocean is noticeably warming. Carbon Dioxide is being released into the ocean from sea floor vents, perhaps from volcanic activity. That increases ocean ACIDIFICATION. But so does the release and breakdown of radioactive contaminants. It’s been over four years that hundreds of tons of radioactive water is being poured into the Pacific ocean EACH day from the Fukushima nuclear accident. And that’s not mentioning all the other nuclear facilities in the world that are leaking, venting secretly, or have abandoned nuclear materials into the ocean to get rid of them.  The acidification state favors the algae blooms that choke off oxygen and the algae releases toxins which kill marine organisms. But acidification is the start of this process leading to death.

Furthermore scientists state we can swim in the Pacific without harm so we are not to be concerned. However a human taking a swim is different than a sea animal or plant being immersed totally in a polluted ocean 24 hours a day. Year after year. One celled plants and animals form the basis of the food chain. They are not protected by skin or an outside skeleton. The ocean water and its pollution are the world in which these one cell organisms exist.When they are killed off by pollution all the other animals that depend on these tiny organisms do not have enough food. The die off begins on all levels.

Certain algae have been found to absorb radiation.  It is thought  that algae's secretions, which stick to their cell walls, absorb & retain the radioactive substances. It has been proposed that these algae be used to remove radioactive substances. But in the meantime - what about all the animals in the food chain that are eating this same algae (or other that functions similarly) that has been proven to absorb radioactive materials? (2)

In addition to lack of food, marine sealife, even those who breathe air instead of having gills or other mechanisms to obtain oxygen from the sea, have the polluted salt water flowing through their bodies constantly. There is intake for hydration, polluted water flowing through their digestive tracks, and if they have gills or like structures - constantly having the acidified and radioactive water in their bodies providing oxygen for life.  That constant immersion in polluted water for breathing and eating and existing is far different than a human in a wet suit taking a sometime swim.

The following is an example of a pollutant’s (DDT) concentration in water and how it changes throughout the food chain. Notice how the concentration is magnified as it moves up the food chain. (3) So stating the pollutant has a very negligible presence, therefore it is harmless, is not true.

A recent paper was written by an environmental scientist regarding exposure to radiation from nuclear power plants. The study showed showed the incidence of breast cancer was five times higher downwind from the WelshTrawsfynydd Nuclear Power Station than would have been expected. Nuclear waste from the plant had been discharged into its adjacent lake. Those people in the study who had eaten fish from the lake had double the expected cancer rate. (4) 

Tuna are a wide-ranging fish, along with salmon and herring, and can swim back and forth between Japan and North America in a year. Salmon and herring have declined in population dramatically. The Canada Food Inspection Agency says it now relies on Japan for test results concerning radiation. American authorities aren’t testing fish for radioactivity either. But it is obvious that these fish are being exposed to the radioactive materials dumped into the ocean from the Fukushima disaster. (5)




 
When cancer victims have chemotheraphy or radiation treatment, their immune systems are frequently damaged and they are more susceptible to infections, disease, etc. It is now being proposed that animals coming into prolonged contact with radioactive pollution, such as the Pacific Ocean, are dying because their immune systems cannot fight off infection. So while it cannot be proven that radiation was the cause of death - it would seem to be a contributing cause. Certainly there has never been an event documented such as is happening now in the Pacific Ocean.

Please support the petition to the United Nations: Acknowledge there is a world problem and take over the cleanup and containment of the Fukushima, Japan, nuclear catastrophe in order for it to be done properly and timely without further radioactive materials dumped into the Pacific or world.

EVOLUTION OR EXTINCTION?

EVOLUTION OR EXTINCTION?



March 11, 2015 - the 4th Anniversary of Fukushima





Massive Sea Lion die off on west coast of North America









 Bird deaths by the thousands on West Coast - blamed on a new parasite?






Starfish extinction in the Pacific tidepools - blamed on perhaps a new virus (where did that mutation come from?)




 Alaska death rate increase of infants
"Except for Alaska all thyroid dose estimates from the Fukushima meltdown are well below the 5 rem

EPA" (NRC official documents - http://hatrickpenryunbound.com)












Isn't it strange that ALL these things are showing up in the four years after the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. Or is it?



Scientists want to blame acidification of the ocean, because of plankton die off and/or death of oxygen producing algae. What could have made the one celled organisms die off? Just one cell is far more susceptible to the effects of radiation than an animals made of billions of cells. If the bottom of the food chain is killed off - it starves the rest in the chain that feed on them.



The Pacific Ocean is approximately six degrees hotter than normal. That's El Nino conditions. One article explained in great length that it was the wind patterns that caused this. Or was it radioactive particles that have been flowing into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima for the last four years? Decaying radioactive substances produce HEAT.



So the world, which supports wildlife preservation, health care, saving species from extinction is now faced with some of the most dramatic changes in one year that we have seen in this century. Quotes from scientists:


"Fukushima radiation found in California milk, fruit, vegetables"
…states and independent labs since the accident, radioactive iodine and cesium—both toxic to human health—have appeared at elevated levels in milk and vegetables produced in California. Radiation has also been detected in milk sold in Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Vermont and Washington since the accident."
http://redgreenandblue.org/2011/06/01/fukushima-radiation-found-in-california-milk-fruit-vegetables/2/



But other than a nuclear plant disaster, "no other accident or disaster can affect 50 million people ... no other accident could cause such a tragedy. Without nuclear power plants we can absolutely provide the energy to meet our demands." Prime Minister Kan of Japan (After Fukushima catastrophe)
http://theecologist.org



It has been four years since this disaster. The Olympics are in another five years (2020). What makes anyone think they will have resolved the problems by then? They have made very little, if no, progress as to date! The famed 'Ice wall' to contain the radioactive leaking water failed. Now they are considering dumping all the stored radioactive water in the tanks into the ocean. The only thing that Japan has changed is the upping of acceptable radioactivity levels from 1 millisievert to 20 millisieverts per year.



While no one thinks the world is coming to an end tomorrow there have been distinct periods in the history of the world when it almost destroyed itself with mass extinctions. Some scientists feel that we are in an ongoing period of this now. For a complete overview of how complex this phenomena is, please visit Wikipedia. It lists at least fifteen different interacting causes of mass extinction ˗ many of which we cannot control. But there is one we definitely can. We need no repeats of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. We have many plants around the world that are aging and of the same type as Fukushima. Third world countries, such as China, are proposing to build hundreds more. Their reputation for quality work is extremely low. Nuclear waste pools are being overstocked and their danger ignored. Unless people speak up, make their voices heard, nuclear will continue to generate its own set of problems affecting the world's inhabitants negatively.
