Antinuclear

HEALTH and ENVIRONMENT – post FUKUSHIMA – theme for March 2013

In New York, international doctors and scientists are meeting to apply a searching light into the medical and environmental consequences of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.   This symposium has been many months in the making, in the organisation of gathering experts on every aspect of this important issue.

Some of these scientists are experienced nuclear physicists and engineers.  But many are from other disciplines – genetics, biology, ecology, marine biology, climatology and even some from  from other areas, like economics, social science areas, such as gender studies.

These are the disciplines that are ignored by nuclear lobbyists  who would have us believe that these are “soft” studies, not “hard” science, like nuclear physics.   “Soft” science doesn’t matter , (except for climate studies, which suddenly matters because they can con us that nuclear power is the solution).   Australia’s nuclear lobbyists ignore “soft” science like genetics and ecology:

A. because if these issues were taken seriously – that would spell the end of nuclear power, the end of their industry.

B. because they don’t know anything about these sciences, anyway.

The New York symposium has the task of exploring and explaining to the world, the meaning of the Fukushima disaster – in its effects on human, other species, and the land, air, water and plants, on which we all depend for our health. They also will explain the importance of these effects for our children, grand-children, and future generations.

Soft stuff? Trivial?  “Fukushima is over” – Australia’s nuclear lobby would have us believe.   Already Marin Ferguson, Australia’s (FORMER) Minister For Pushing the Nuclear Agenda,  has come out of the woodwork (he’s rarely available) to push for nuclear power, as though the Fukushima event is now over and done with.

Australia’s Murdochracy will continue to ignore the “soft” sciences, and give Australia’s public the hard sell on nuclear. But with online journals, blogs, alternative media, the New York messages will reach us.
