Living on the West Coast these are articles people in our territory are talking about. So it's useful to know... Not trying to distract anyone here we know the focus but those in our territory don't.

I can get behind that reasoning, but in order to have a thorough conversation with someone you have to know and understand both sides of the story.  What is presented here, is only one side of the story.  It's all based on one slant.  

 

Those in your territory may have read both sides, they may feel quite strongly about what has been said on either side.  If we're biased at all, then it detracts from the message we're going in with.  We want to be neutral, and that's kind of the point I'm trying to make.

 

For myself personally, I get right upset when I see beautiful ocean creatures washing ashore.  I find it hard to be balanced, and I am of the mindset that sooner than later would be a good day to barbeque mankind.  BUT is that Jehovah's viewpoint?  No.

I appreciate the views presented by Sharon. To a degree I agree with her. Satan draws out every tool from his tool box to get us distracted. So we have to 'Safeguard our Hearts" to make sure we monitor what we take in as ledgit updates about the Cesium contamination. And also not get worked up over what we read. Needing to remember Jehovah is in full control and 'as a group' his people will survive just fine.
Now, that said, I am very concerned about how much pollution is directed our way. We live here, we eat from the ocean, we are affected. To learn from reliable sources, and I do not consider CNN, HLN,, MSMBC etc. as credible sources, the technologies necessary to monitor and possibly neutralize (?) some of the Cesium is important for us HERE. And, as said above, we have communities full of others that are worried too. This topic leads into some very good conversations. We need to present ourselves as an informed people, we are trained by Jehovah to be that way.
I'm trying to be balanced, I hope that comes across. We needn't hang on every word from the news nor should we hide from reliable sources either.

Moving? Well, we thought of that too but the earth has a water cycle so actually the whole planet will be affected.

I come across so much information on plants and organic matter that neutralize so many pollutants that I can't remember them all. One is chlorine in our water, when a full glass of tap water  was tested it was almost as strong as swimming pool water, but add a sliced onion to it and in 30 seconds or less all the chlorine was gone. I can't say I want to drink onion tasting water but you get the point.

 

And when I wrote the above I included a (?) because even though I believe there are ways to neutralize it I haven't saved the documents sent to me, mad at myself for that, thus cannot share explicit information on why I believe it. (Perhaps I should have left it out? But my (?) kinda said I was questioning how many possibilities) So, I know this world is wonderfully made and I'm confident we have the means to counteract some of the pollutants, whether it's in this system or in the next.

It is just the "in the air" part. I can't figure how a person could avoid that.

I wish you the best.

This was informative.

These articles are informative but the only true hope we have is for Jehovah to step in and fix our world. I try to eat the healthiest way I am able and the cost of some of the Natural foods out there is prohibitive for most of us.

Being informed is knowledge but stressing out and getting side tracked or being overly anxious is pointless.

Nice article to keep as a reminder. w08 11/15 pp. 23-27

Just an update:

 

Japan: The next wave Long-term effects of the 2011 tsunami, including a potential cancer threat for Fukushima's children.

 

Out of 200,000 children screened so far in government-ordered tests, there are 18 confirmed cases of thyroid cancer and 25 suspected cases. While specialists and experts are reluctant to draw a definitive link between the tumours and the nuclear radiation that erupted from the stricken power station, they are nonetheless deeply concerned.

 

Anyone also can watch the new 25mins documentation video here:

Scientists are now talking about natural radiation that mankind gets from every day life even living out in the country or by the sea but Do Scientists actually know the difference of Natural occurring radiation and Toxic man made radiation? I think they do, but they are not telling us. I went to one site and it said that there was more "natural" radiation from rocks than what has been brought in by the ocean from the Fukushima disaster. 

I am sorry but I can't believe that is true. There has to be a way for them to distinguish what is natural and what is unnatural and then find out how much us humans can tolerate of the unnatural radiation. 

 

I know they want to "hush" any kind of scare off the West Coast of U.S. because to try and relocate all those people would be a nightmare. Not to mention the fishing industry and everything that goes along with it, and then there's Hollywood, lots of mula.  But you can't tell me that there is no toxic radiation in the ocean when I have talked to people from Calif. and Oregon and they say the fish and starfish have sores, there is hardly any salmon to catch and a low abundance of fish period. 

I have many family and friends out on the West Coast and would hate to hear of them suffering from toxic radiation if they could of only moved away from it. Does anyone know personally a website that can be trusted? The ones that are in Main Media are saying "there is nothing wrong with West Coast water and fish" and then there the others that are stating all kinds of things. 

We all know the Gov. is corrupt and everything is about greed and money, who cares if many people die or live a terrible life due to toxic radiation. 

Is there not any brothers or sisters that know whats going on with the Fukushima aftermath to the West Coast of the U.S.?

David Suzuki is a respected scientist that warned what might happen in the 4th reactor goes. If you search this .. David Suzuki ‘regrets’ claim that another Fukushima disaster would require mass evacuations in North America .... The problem I see with all of this is that man can't solve it. if you read the entire article there isn't anywhere that won't be affected... So it's up to our loving creator Jehovah to handle this as we all do our best to focus on our future.

Let's hope the lesson is learned not to stick this on an island with millions of people  :nope:

Perfect Lynn, this is absolutely true. Wind and solar are good only to a small degree. Large scale? Nope.

 

I think in the new system we'll discover more alternatives but fossil fuels, for now, is the answer. Nuclear? Personally I've never felt safe with it. But that's just me.
