It has really become a chore, a depressive chore to read these articles and listen to these experts lie about Fukushima. Perhaps Im the fool here because Im trying to teach the world that fire is hot. To read these media explanations, one would think that Fukushima was just a light bulb that needs replacing and while there are a few shards of broken glass about, everything is fine. At three years running and no end in sight, fine is the last word any logical and honest mind, would use to describe the situation. Unless your using fine as an acronym for: Fearful, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional. The UN makes a bold claim here and not surprising, as they make many bold claims about Global Climate Change too and all of them false. While consensus is a part of the hypothesis process in Scientific Method, it should never be the basis for defining or confirming fact or the popular euphemism currently: The science is settled. As Newtonian Physics, settled why things fall, at one time; one can deduce the gravity of my irony when it comes to settling anything in science. So when the UN and Dr. Torah Kachur make the counter intuitive leap to fire is hot, I am left in astonishment with a litany of expletives. Addressing the UN claim on Thyroid Cancer being a product of increased screening should have the medical community screaming BS but then this is about economics not fact and certainly not about you faceless statistics or your children, now is it? Any idiot can take the actual numbers of cases in Fukushima Prefecture and compare them to the Global Averages for the disease and see the steam coming off that pile. Then there is the question of Dr. Torah Kachur. Here let here personal Bio speak for her qualifications to speak on things nuclear: Torah Kachur is a world-travelling, sports-playing super-geek who doubles as a University professor. In between exploring the planet and warping young scientists minds, she completed her PhD from the University of Alberta in developmental genetics. Torah hopes to someday be important enough to be asked questions about the state of science in the world and to continue commenting on all sorts of scientific fields. Torah still manages to find time to coach varsity basketball, write for PrioNet Canada, explore the world with her camera and make molecular replicas of DNA. All while perfecting the concept of geek-chic. (Follow her on the Twitter @DrTorahKachur.) This Molecular Biologist has decided to take the K40 or potassium 40 narrative that so many like to use as it is a naturally occurring isotope in bananas and put here own spin on it with chips and dips. Again, naturally occurring isotopes cannot be compared to anthropomorphic isotopes. Life has had hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to naturally occurring sources of radiation, both terrestrial and cosmic. So a comparison of eating a bag of potato chips to eating a cesium laced salmon, is not only stupid but in medicine would be defined as malpractice. Of course Torah has never practiced clinically so is no danger from litigation. As with most of these experts that spew these thinly veiled lies, none will be held accountable by their Universities for their statements. So that will be up to us. She states that she one day hopes to be asked questions about science so I say we give her, her wish. Here is her email. Email Torah: torah@scienceinseconds I personally have an issue with being a traitor to my own species, of course I have an issue with being a traitor to life itself. A few pieces of silver are not worth my soul but then I place a high value on that as I understand it does not belong to me but rather to God. So when I return in to God, I will have to answer for how I used it here. Ive done many a messed up and even some monstrous things by some standards but I did them to survive, and certainly not for tawdry coin. That is when you know your just a whore, what and how willing you are to say or do something for money. My big goal is to track down the pimps in all of this though, she is just another pathetic media whore. cbc.ca/news/technology/fukushima-cancer-risk-not-as-serious-as-thought-un-says-1.2645238
