Has Fukushima's radioactive wave already hit California?

Take a look here. Though some deny that it is from Fukushima, others claim it is, and it makes sense that it is.

Nice try, but although the levels may be higher than normal, it's not from Fukushima. They are still doing tests trying to determine what might be the cause of the higher levels.

The CEO of the company that builds the geiger counter that was used in the video by "expert-Dave", actually was concerned enough to have his company take beach sand samples and have them analyzed. The results of the analysis are presented here:

Furthermore, there have been other studies over that past 50 years, or so, documenting the variability of radiation levels around public beaches, in particular in California. Had "expert-Dave" spent a few minutes researching the subject instead of concluding the high levels were from Fukushima, without any way to determine that, we'd all been better off.

Take a look at these two studies, for example.

Unfortunately, it's like anything else nowadays. Anyone who has a spare couple of hundred dollars to buy a geiger counter becomes a radiation expert, anyone who can google or has access to webmd becomes a doctor, etc. As we used to hear growing up, "a little bit of knowledge/information can be dangerous". I am not doubting that the geiger counter readings were elevated, but determining "why" should be left to those who understand these things. When you have a severe toothache, you go to the dentist, you don't ask your electrician to diagnose the problem and tell you what to do about it.

I kind-of knew that most posters here would discount the report. Remember, that doesn't make the problem go away!

Howard, people are just pointing out the fallacy in the various things you are posting.

Keltphys, I *do* like your dentist parallel

Seriously? So, if *you* don't agree with something it's fallacy?

How about this article from the respected Natural News source?

And, what do you think of this one of radioactive snow in Missouri? All fallacies?

Just in case my previous post did not provide enough proof for you, here are a couple of additional sources, on the global damage (Well, US west coast) done by Fukushima.

Howard, based on the sources you are using, I can understand your confusion and misunderstanding. Take a look at these and you might get a better idea as to what is going on.

So, Gradphys, why are your sources better than my sources? I don't get it?

To me it's fairly simple. There are some scientists that think "A" is true. There is another group of scientists that think "A" is false. I agree with the "first" group while you agree with the "second" group. Until once of us is convinced that the other is right, we will be arguing. One way to convince me is to show me that your sources of information are more credible than mine, instead of just saying "it is so".

More specifically, on the subject at hand, given TEPCO's history and behavior and our own government's affinity to "not telling the truth" about things, I still tend to err on the conservative side believe the group of scientists telling us things are bad, instead of sticking my head in the sand and pretend everything is OK.

Is that so hard for you to understand?
