Fukushima and now possibly Sandy, may be proof that Mother Nature will tolerate overpopulation up to a point, then takes steps to remove the problem. Of course, there is no real evidence that dinosaurs had nuclear power plants.

This March 27, 2011 article is a good reminder of how bad the conditions were for the Fukushima workers:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/8408863/Japan-tsunami-Fukushima-Fifty-the-first-interview.html
"The amount of radiation in that water was an astonishing two to six sieverts – 10,000 times the normal level, and up to 24 times the workers’ entire yearly exposure allowance, even on the elevated emergency limits instituted last week. If the water was absorbed by their bodies in any way, those two workers will almost certainly die."

I suggest you all use this document as one of your resources to prove to those who say "No one has died from the Fukushima Nuclear disaster", they are totally wrong.
This occurred in the first few days of the disaster. In this correspondence between the NRC and the Japanese, the Japanese admitted to 5 people having received lethal radiation doses.

intelligence is overrated. the dinosaurs will have survived on this planet much longer than humans will.
odd that a nuclear worker can sue a company for negligence but regular folks have no recourse for the stupidity of nuclear proliferation. all in power that gamble with life on our planet are psychopathic.

"After the crisis at the plant began, the central government increased the maximum limit of radiation exposure from 100 millisieverts to 250 millisieverts exclusively for workers at the Fukushima plant."
One worker had an internal radiation level of 30,000 cpm's.

The man suing "…described a harrowing scene of darkness and fear, wading with headlamps into a flooded basement through steaming radioactive water that felt warm even through workers' boots.
“It was outrageous. We shouldn't even have been there,'' he said."

“Just sending the workers into the harsh environment and putting them at risk of exposure to dangerously high radiation is a labor safety violation,'' said Taku Yamazoe, a lawyer representing Shinichi."
Report Comment
"A government study has found poor monitoring of the radiation doses suffered by workers at the disaster site…"
Of the 1,813 screened: "All workers had been exposed to high radiation levels between November and June."

As she said:
DAMAGED REACTORS UNDER CONTROL?!
Now lets us know what is under control because as far as we know
theres nothing under control?!
1 – Theres no control of the radiation leaking into pacific
2 – Theres no control over the cores of the reactors 1,2 and 3
(The meltdown of the reactors is a fairy tail)
3 – Theres no control of the radiation leaking to everywhere
And the list go on and on..
