re: Veritasium's 13 Misconceptions on Global Warming...

Fukushima was the worst nuclear industry accident in 25 years and the radiation death toll was zero. UNSCEAR puts the long-term death toll from cancer and birth defects at... zero. Given the alacrity with which you scrambled to Google for an examiner.com image purporting to show "radiation" (demarcated in centimeters, as you do) I'm sure you'll respond with some contradictory figures trawled from a junk science study from Greenpeace or RPHP. But on the other hand: no.

Meanwhile, how's the fossil fuel industry done since then? Well, the Soma coal explosion in Turkey killed 300 people, the Kaohsiung gas explosions in Taiwan killed another 30, the Megantic oil derailment in Quebec is good for another 47, the Sukhodilsk explosion is another 26, Bazhanov is 11, Chinese coal hoo boy let's add another 2,309 just for '12 and '13 (not counting post-Fukushima '11 or '14 to date) and this is just the industrial accidents. I'm not even counting the epidemiology, which is about 13,000 a year in deaths from particulate emissions in the US alone (mostly expressed through lung cancer rates) and in China... welp
