Japan Sets Radiation Limits For Infant Drinks Twice The International Legal Limit For Nuclear Waste
Thursday, 07 July 2011 12:21
‘The “temporary safe limit” for radiation in food and beverages in Japan has been set to levels higher than the international legal limits for nuclear waste. Infant beverages have been set twice as higher as the nuclear waste limit and for children and adults between 3 to 4 times the nuclear waste limit. In food the limit has been set up to 20 times international nuclear waste limits and of course all of these levels are hundreds of times higher than legal limits allowed in food in beverages of other nations around the world.
Yet, Japanese officials continue their campaign of lying to the public, as you’ll see in the video below, to convince the people these limits are safe.’

Scientists Say California Mega-Quake Imminent
Monday, 04 July 2011 09:01
‘Like a steaming kettle with the top on, pressure is building beneath the surface of California that could unleash a monster earthquake at any time. That’s according to a new study from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
Geologists say Southern California is long overdue for a huge earthquake that could unleash widespread damage.’
Forest Density Study Blows Hole in Excess CO2 Myth and the Supposed Need for Carbon Taxes
Monday, 04 July 2011 06:53
‘We have all heard it before. Humans are supposedly producing too much carbon dioxide (CO2), which is contributing to “global warming” — and the only solution, of course, is to have the United Nations (UN) distribute carbon use credits and implement carbon taxes to offset an impending global disaster. However, a new study published in the online journal PLoS One helps debunk this myth by showing that the natural world is basically taking care of this excess CO2 naturally, without the need for increased government control over individuals.
Anyone with a basic knowledge of the way trees and other plants function knows that they require CO2 in order to survive. And upon absorbing CO2, plants naturally release oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. This cycle has been going on since the beginning of time, and it continues to occur today, despite the plethora of human environmental abuses that appear to have damaged and obstructed the earth in many other ways.’

Oil Spill on Montana’s Yellowstone River Forces Evacuation
Sunday, 03 July 2011 11:12
‘An undetermined amount of crude oil spilled from an ExxonMobil pipeline into the Yellowstone River in Montana, prompting evacuations of nearby residents on Saturday, authorities said.
The spill that was detected early Saturday came from a crude oil pipeline that runs from Silver Tip to Billings, Montana, the ExxonMobil Pipeline Company said in a statement. The pipe was subsequently shut down and state and federal authorities were alerted, the company said.
Nearby residents in Laurel, Montana, were evacuated in the wee hours of the morning but were able to return to their homes by 6 a.m., said a spokesman for Laurel City Fire and Ambulance.’

The fire was put out in a matter of 20 minutes. No damage to the environment has been recorded.
Power unit 1 of the Tricastin plant was not in operation at the time of the explosion.
Massive Wildfires Threaten to Ignite 30000 Barrels of Plutonium Waste at New Mexico Nuclear Weapons Facility, EPA on Radiation Alert
Friday, 01 July 2011 08:51
‘Threats of radioactive disaster from what is shaping up to be the largest wildfire in the state’s history are escalating, as heavy winds and plenty of dry brush have fueled flames to within 50 feet of New Mexico’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), home of the first atomic bomb.
Crews claim there are currently no fires burning on the lab’s 36 square mile property, but the entire town of Los Alamos, population 11,000, has been evacuated, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now on radiation alert in the area.
As of Sunday, the massive wildfire had already burned up nearly 145 square miles of land across New Mexico, or 92,735 acres, which is just a few hundred acres short of the massive Dry Lakes fire that swept Gila National Forest in 2003.’
US wildfire near major nuclear arms lab
Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:13:49 GMT
The New Mexico wildfire that has so far scorched more than 20,000 hectares (49,000 acres) of land in the southwestern US state, is approaching the major Los Alamos nuclear facility north of the state.
About 13,000 Residents of Los Alamos, a town just outside the laboratory, were evacuated on Monday after the wildfire crossed the nearby Jemez Mountains, the Los Alamos County fire authorities said.
“We’re doing our best to keep it off the lab,” said the county’s fire chief, quoted by state-run BBC on Tuesday.
Los Alamos, one of the top nuclear weapons research facilities in the US, will remain closed until Thursday, as fire fighters struggle to keep the wildfire from approaching its boundary.
Meanwhile, officials at the New Mexico facility announced that the laboratory faced “no immediate threat.”
“No facilities face immediate threat, and all nuclear and hazardous materials are accounted for and protected,” officials said in a statement.
However, Deputy Los Alamos County Fire Chief Mike Thompson warned about damages inflicted on local homes.
“That’s the biggest threat we have right now to homes in the community,” Thompson said.
The fire is at least 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the facility’s Area G, where radioactive waste tanks are stored.
Huge wildfires have charred millions of acres of land in southwestern US states of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas this year.

Weird sink holes all over the world
Lightning Kills 22 Students, Teacher in Uganda
Twenty-two students and a teacher died when lightning struck their school in Uganda, officials said.
Another 51 students, aged 7 to 16 were injured in the freak strike 160 miles northwest of Kampala, said local police spokeswoman Zura Ganyana.
Lightning strikes in recent weeks have killed at least 38 people around the country in recent weeks, as unseasonably heavy storms have ravaged the area. Experts said the school was prone because it is on high ground and does not have a lighting conductor to ground strikes.
Another lightning strike injured 37 students at a school 200 miles away, officials said.
One member of parliament called the situation a crisis.
“I don’t know which minister is in charge of the lightning but let the government come up with a statement to inform the country on what is going on and how we can manage it,” Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga told Reuters.
Uganda’s Minister of State for Disaster Preparedness Musa Ecweru told the BBC the deaths could be blamed on buildings not having lightning rods.
“There are very many schools and brand new health centres which are lacking lightning arrestors,” Mr Ecweru said.
