The planet's food chain is becoming more toxic than the planet's governments.
Just rejoice at that.

will soon release water into the . How worried should we be?

Some have cast doubt on the ’s findings, with China recently arguing that the group’s assessment “is not proof of the legality and legitimacy” of Fukushima’s wastewater release.

By Jessie Yeung, Mayumi Maruyama and Emiko Jozuka, July 5, 2023

"Robert H. Richmond, director of the Kewalo Marine Laboratory at the University of at Manoa, is among a group of international scientists working with the to assess the wastewater release plan – including visits to the Fukushima site, and meetings with TEPCO, Japanese authorities and the IAEA. After reviewing the details of the plan, Richmond called it 'ill-advised' and premature.

"One concern is that diluting the wastewater might not be enough to reduce its impact on marine life. like tritium can pass through various levels of the – including plants, animals, and bacteria – and be ',' meaning they will build up in the marine , he said.

"He added that the world’s oceans are already under stress from , ocean , and . The last thing it needs is to be treated like a 'dumping ground,' he said.

"And the potential risks won’t just affect the region. One 2012 study found evidence that bluefin had transported – radioactive isotopes like the ones in – from Fukushima across the Pacific to California."

"A single owl family can kill 8,000 rodents each year."

"But there are also particular conservation problems for owls. As predators, often of rodents, owls are susceptible to the accumulation of persistent pesticides (notably anticoagulant rodenticides such as brodifacoum) that we use to control rats and mice around our houses or more extensively for rodent plagues in crops."

"In Australia, we are profligate in our use of such chemicals and lax in our regulation of them. Secondary poisoning of owls is thus common. One study from Western Australia detected anticoagulant rodenticides in 72% of boobook owls found dead or moribund."

"During recent Australian mouse plagues, the New South Wales government sought an emergency permit to make available large quantities of the rodenticide bromadiolone. This poison is known to have cumulative impacts across food chains, particularly to predators such as owls. Its proposed use was ultimately quashed by the Commonwealth regulatory agency, largely because of such concerns."

Happy ! To celebrate, here’s our video about the Food Web, and how it’s a better model for ecosystems than the food chain. We made it for our friend the @RvingNaturalist’s channel, and she has a lot more videos there about nature and ecology that you should check out! youtu.be/OxKvcA4NpaQ

Skyrocketing grocery bills. It’s not COVID. It’s not supply chain issues. It’s billionaires getting richer. This is fact. Data doesn’t lie, and their profits are setting records.

With a half-life of 29 years, "Everyone is exposed to small amounts of Sr-90, since it is widely dispersed in the environment and the food chain. -90 was widely dispersed in the 1950s and 1960s in from the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.

"Strontium-90 is also found in waste from reactors. The accident at the nuclear power plant introduced a large amount of Sr-90 into the environment. Strontium-90 was also released during the 2011 Japanese nuclear incident at the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

"Strontium-90 can be inhaled, but ingestion in food and water is the greatest health concern. Once in the body, Sr-90 acts like calcium and is readily incorporated into bones and teeth, where it can cause of the bone, bone marrow, and soft tissues around the bone. Because Sr-90 acts like calcium, milk monitoring will be important after a large release."
