stock here -- resident "troll" who is probably not a bad guy, just brainwashed by nuclear, visited shortly after I responded to a comment he made on volcanoes and radiation. Clarksville TN caught my eye with visitors. Interesting....Loose Nuke is commenting from Oak Ridge Tennessee. Imagine that.

In article on whales......
Of course they play the "Global Warming" card in an offhand way

In addition to the strandings at Chatham and Stewart Islands this week, a group of 12 pygmy killer whales also beached in New Zealand’s far north and a sperm whale and a pygmy sperm whale grounded themselves in separate incidents on the North Island.
The reason whales and dolphins strand is not fully understood but theories include sickness, navigational error, geographical features, the presence of predators, and extreme weather.
Karen Stockin, a marine mammal scientist at Massey University, said while whale strandings were relatively common in
New Zealand, the cluster of incidents in such a short time frame was unusual.We definitely have a spike in temperatures, that is likely affecting where the prey is moving
She also pointed out that species such as pygmy killer whales and sperm whales did not normally beach, unlike pilot whales, which regularly wash up on New Zealand beaches in the summer months.
Lol must be a very large acute dose. Low dose chronic effects wont manifest for decades if any at all. Still A-bomb victims walking around. They'll die of old age.
ReplyDeleteAh Lucey, you are brainwashed that the only effect of radiation is a long duration cancer. These whales have 2 things happen due to radiation.
Delete1)Their gut microbiome is damaged due to radiation. Proven fact even in low doses. This directly affect the immune system as 70% of the immune system is created in the gut
2) Their food chain is decimated. Many imnportant bottom of the food chain "critters" use chitin in their bodies. Chitin bioaccuulated radiation like a sponge. This creates not just destruction of the biological structure, but also creates damaged structures when replicating.
Got it now?
2)
What's in Oak Ridge that has you all flustered? Probably the highest concentration of nuclear expertise in the world. I'm not from there.
ReplyDeleteNot from there, but you work there often.
