Date: Feb 17, 2012
2.14.09AM‒2.15.09AM
- Cs-134 @ 4.15 MBq/km2
- Cs-137 @ 4.83 MBq/km2
- Total Cs @ 8.98 MBq/km2
2.15.09AM‒2.16.09AM
- Cs-134 @ 150 MBq/km2
- Cs-137 @ 199 MBq/km2
- Total Cs @ 349 MBq/km2
8.98 to 349 is an increase of 38.86 times.

Wait, allow me to speak for Tepco.
It has to be some faulty radiation monitor. How else can there be such a spike within 24 hours?
And the wind. If we can stop the wind from blowing any way it likes, how can we measure anything accurately?
One solution is to put a halt to any breeze activity even if we have to give nature executive orders.

Ummm….videoed criticality event in SFP4 on Feb 13, same day as earthquake, same day as temp gauge at R2 goes up so much they say it is 'broken,' same day camwatchers report lots of smoke, then high Cs readings in Fukushima City Feb 14 and Feb 15, then news of high CMPs on British Colombian coast starting Feb 18…how fast news travels….
West Coast folks, Southwest folks, do not go out in the rain from today for the next few days. St Louis, watch out, 'spike' cloud is coming your way. Possibly another 3-4 days….(guess)

If Enenews would like to pay for my mortage which is 120,000 a month they could have it and go anywhere to imvestigate on the ground here. I have children so it is not a good place to raise them. 4 bedroom house in Chiba. Anyway, that will not happen so going with the hard way to relocate. Thanks for asking.

"Maps of the total 137Cs deposition between March 20 and April 19 are shown in Fig. 2A. As a general characteristic, most of the eastern parts of Japan were effected by a total 137Cs deposition of more than 1;000 MBq km−2. Our estimates show that the area around NPP in Fukushima, secondarily effected areas (Miyagi and Ibaraki prefectures), and other effected areas (Iwate, Yama- gata, Tochigi, and Chiba prefectures) had 137Cs depositions of more than 100,000,25,000, and 10;000 MBq km−2 ,respectively. Airborne and ground-based survey measurements jointly carried out by MEXT and the US Department of Energy (DOE) (21) show high 137Cs deposition amounts were observed northwest- ward and up to a distance of 80 km from Fukushima NPP. It was estimated from the first measurement that by April 29, more than 600;000 MBq km−2 had been deposited in the area, which is greater than our estimate of less than 500;000 MBq km−2 (Fig. 2A)" http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2011/11/11/1112058108.full.pdf
These are old figures, recently published in a prestigious peer-reviewed academic journal. The figures for caesium are going up I believe because of bioaccumulation; they will continue to rise as long as the reactors/coriums continue to emit radiation, which appears to be now an infinite amount of time. There is no point in cleaning soils that will be re-contaminated next week. Wait until all emissions stop, then come back and clean up. Meanwhile, move to the new Japanese city in India to protect the future of Japan. What else can be said??

Sure, man's activities are affecting the planet. How much?
How much effect is from other natural processes we may barely understand, like sun spots, cosmic rays, cloud nucleation.
Cap and Trade is just another form of thievery to concentrate power and wealth. The whole CO2 argument is questionable at best. Do your own research.
Nukers promote the CO2 thing as a way to justify more nuke.
And use this really cool website to chart weather data.
Did you know cities are heat sinks. Did you know that cities are getting bigger. Did you know that most temperature data that people use to support "global warming" are based on thermometers in cities. Did you know that pro-nukers lie all the time?

Carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), bicarbonate (HCO3-) and carbonate (CO32-), and there is about fifty times as much carbon dissolved in the sea water of the oceans as exists in the atmosphere. The oceans act as an enormous carbon sink, and have taken up about a third of CO2 emitted by human activity.[42]
As the concentration of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, the increased uptake of carbon dioxide into the oceans is causing a measurable decrease in the pH of the oceans which is referred to as ocean acidification. Although the natural absorption of CO2 by the world's oceans helps mitigate the climatic effects of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, results in a decrease in the pH of the oceans. This reduciton in pH impacts the biological systems in the oceans, primarily oceanic calcifying organisms. These impacts span the food chain from autotrophs to heterotrophs and include organisms such as coccolithophores, corals, foraminifera, echinoderms, crustaceans and molluscs. Under normal conditions, calcite and aragonite are stable in surface waters since the carbonate ion is at supersaturating concentrations. However, as ocean pH falls, so does the concentration of this ion, and when carbonate becomes undersaturated, structures made of calcium carbonate are vulnerable to dissolution. Even if there is no change in the rate of calcification, therefore, the rate of dissolution of calcareous material increases.[43]
Research has already found that corals,[44][45][46] coccolithophore algae,[47][48][49][50] coralline algae,[51] foraminifera,[52] shellfish[53] and pteropods[54][55] experience reduced calcification or enhanced dissolution when exposed to elevated CO2.

The hydrogen engine was invented back in the late 60s I think. It actually ran on water by extracting the hydrogen. The emissions from this was…….water! So you started with water and ended with water, pretty cool technology. It's a shame the man who invented it came up missing before he could ever get a patent.

**********************************************
A "hydrogen engine" was not "invented", nor did the "inventor" "come up missing". That's an urban myth, just as ludicrous as the one about the inventor of a carburetor that could give 200 MPG and was also "murdered". Current IC engines can be fueled with hydrogen using currently available gaseous fuel equipment and technology ie;propane/compressed natural gas.
The basic problem with Hydrogen is the required method of hydride storage.

Soooo, maybe the HAARP hypothesis just might have some validity to it after all. Could HAARP have been used to punish Japan because they were ready to spill the beans to world, or was the plan to use Japan as the scape goat because there has been growing evidence of radioactive contamination of the worlds oceans.
Those pinnipeds are a lot closer to the dumping sites of the used Russian nuclear reactors than Japan.

Though the US made no mention of any long-term plans to utilize the ocean as its nuclear dumping ground during the proposal, it now appears as though the country had every intention of using the ocean as a nuclear disposal facility. And since the London Convention clause still exists to this day, all other signing countries are free to dump their nuclear waste in the ocean as well.
Russia, a signing member of the London Convention, openly admitted back in 1993, for instance, that it dumps nuclear reactors and fuel into the ocean because it allegedly has no other safe way to dispose of such materials
