Starfish dying in the NW Pacific [View all] RobertEarl Jan 2014 OP
Happening in the Atlantic as well and also happened in the 80's. Bonobo Jan 2014 #1
I guess you missed his post about Fukushima zappaman Jan 2014 #3
First weapons testing, then Chernobyl, now Fukushima RobertEarl Jan 2014 #32
Point being it is adding up, this radiation RobertEarl Jan 2014 #33
I noticed that too DFW Jan 2014 #54
How many times are you going to post this NONSENSE? zappaman Jan 2014 #2

I know you guys think you are clever Generic Other Jan 2014 #49
Except that's not the claim RobertEarl was making. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #58
"scientists can’t rule out nuclear pollution..." Generic Other Jan 2014 #61
Fukushima radiation is not the sole cause of the starfish die off. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #65
Could starfish immune systems be compromised by radiation? Generic Other Jan 2014 #68
Honestly, I'm not well-versed enough in marine biology or radiation to say. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #76
of course immune systems are compromised by radiation questionseverything Jan 2014 #77
It's also technically impossible to rule out alien attacks on our starfish. Yo_Mama Jan 2014 #98
Interesting RobertEarl Jan 2014 #103
If you believe it's nonsense, then either post arguments that prove that it's nonsense, rhett o rick Jan 2014 #83
" I think I can tell nonsense with out their help." zappaman Jan 2014 #86
So now you've lowered yourself to stating that I "need help". You seem certain that you know the rhett o rick Jan 2014 #109
Again and again and again Brother Buzz Jan 2014 #4
Like clockwork... bhikkhu Jan 2014 #13
Indeed, one needs to respond to nonsense Brother Buzz Jan 2014 #19
At this point, it's spamming. zappaman Jan 2014 #23
Starfish wasting predates Fukushima and is happening in other oceans besides the Pacific. Gravitycollapse Jan 2014 #6
The starfish die-off started well before Fukushima, and has happened fairly regularly bhikkhu Jan 2014 #8
"Unless one believes there is a massive multi-national conspiracy to cover up the evidence." Gravitycollapse Jan 2014 #10
Apparently so bhikkhu Jan 2014 #17
People think 6 dump truck loads of thermite were snuck into each WTC tower. Gravitycollapse Jan 2014 #20
DoE testing found Plutonium in Mussels RobertEarl Jan 2014 #9
ENEnews again, eh? zappaman Jan 2014 #11

Maybe chemtrails are killing the starfish... SidDithers Jan 2014 #56
Is this your main souirce for your persistence on this issue? passiveporcupine Feb 2016 #194
Don't read it today RobertEarl Feb 2016 #195
You are the one who shouldn't be reading it. passiveporcupine Feb 2016 #197
Sorry to bother you. RobertEarl Feb 2016 #198

It's a disease that's killing them off. Vashta Nerada Jan 2014 #15
Starfish facts RobertEarl Jan 2014 #18
Robert ... Fukushima is a terrible ongoing accident ... we all agree on that point ... MindMover Jan 2014 #21
It's no use with this guy. longship Jan 2014 #35
Newest report of Fukushima contamination in the Pacific RobertEarl Jan 2014 #22
From a counter opinion site RobertEarl Jan 2014 #24
you know, I live in the NW Pacific and nobody, absolutely nobody here is talking about this at all Douglas Carpenter Jan 2014 #25
The ocean ecologists are alarmed RobertEarl Jan 2014 #26
They are alarmed. Although not for the same reasons you are. Gravitycollapse Jan 2014 #28
those articles do not even mention Fukushima - they maintain a virus is killing them Douglas Carpenter Jan 2014 #29
Hilarious, since UC Santa Cruz mentions fukushima like zero times nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #104
Yep RobertEarl Jan 2014 #106
Really? Claiming persecution? NuclearDem Jan 2014 #118
Funny thing is, the absence of evidence of such persecution will be seen as evidence that it exists. X_Digger Jan 2014 #119
Fish tank RobertEarl Jan 2014 #120
Care to address the time-travelling, ocean-hopping "cause" in post #115? X_Digger Jan 2014 #121
With you? Why? RobertEarl Jan 2014 #124
Lol, can't quote that entire para, can you? X_Digger Jan 2014 #125
Here's another theory RobertEarl Jan 2014 #126
Bull. Union Scribe Jan 2014 #133
Still no response, eh? X_Digger Jan 2014 #134
Are you just pissed off you don't have one? zappaman Jan 2014 #136
Maybe it's chronoton radiation, that travels back in time.. X_Digger Jan 2014 #143
No problem RobertEarl Jan 2014 #137
So.. before Fukushima, therefore.. work with me here.. fukushima can't be the cause, right? X_Digger Jan 2014 #142
You call that logic? RobertEarl Jan 2014 #150
A precedes B, therefore B can't cause A. X_Digger Jan 2014 #151
Why is my user name relevant? NuclearDem Jan 2014 #123
I guess the folks at UC Santa Cruz are part of a huge conspiracy then nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #141
From your link passiveporcupine Feb 2016 #196
It was reported by the local TV news in November Generic Other Jan 2014 #43
Check the studies from UC Santa Cruz nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #105
That is where I checked Generic Other Jan 2014 #117
Deep Sea News says the same RobertEarl Jan 2014 #122
Yes, they had the same problem back in the 80s nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #140
I tend to think you are correct Generic Other Jan 2014 #144
And that is where bioconcentration with migratory nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #146
Wrong on both, nadine RobertEarl Jan 2014 #153
Please, quit spreading falsehoods. nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #154
They don't know what is causing it RobertEarl Jan 2014 #156
Let's see if you finally get it, latest update nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #161
You telling me to stop? RobertEarl Jan 2014 #163
As I expected, you got personal nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #165
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! longship Jan 2014 #30
I thought that was how one defended one's arguments on a DU Generic Other Jan 2014 #47
Sometimes ridicule is the only appropriate response. longship Jan 2014 #62
It is to the point that I will save the UCSC statement on this nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #167
Yup! There is plenty of science on this. longship Jan 2014 #170
And we both worry about the actual science of this nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #172

I fold. randome Jan 2014 #46
Thanks for posting, RobertEarl. Octafish Jan 2014 #41
The reason it's being mocked is because it's just plain wrong. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #45
Really? Octafish Jan 2014 #48
Are you serious right now? NuclearDem Jan 2014 #50
... Vashta Nerada Jan 2014 #53
Oh good god. Vashta Nerada Jan 2014 #51
I get it that we need to maintain a skeptical attitude Generic Other Jan 2014 #55
... NuclearDem Jan 2014 #60
Again I would rather discuss why some claims are "ludicrous" Generic Other Jan 2014 #64
The only legitimate response to PRATT has to be ridicule. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #66
Do you reply to all the spam email you get? Union Scribe Jan 2014 #74
I used to post articles too Generic Other Jan 2014 #78
Sometimes people get tired responding to the same debunked claims. longship Jan 2014 #67
I dont think you appreciate the gift of certainty of those knowing what is right vs. what is wrong. rhett o rick Jan 2014 #85
I would hope you realize that sometimes "right or wrong" is subjective and open for rhett o rick Jan 2014 #82
Right or wrong is not subjective in this case. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #88
+1000 zappaman Jan 2014 #90
In my OP it cleary states RobertEarl Jan 2014 #91
No, your OP implies that it is plutonium from Fukushima that is responsible. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #93
No you haven't RobertEarl Jan 2014 #95
All you've been able to do is cite ENENews, NuclearDem Jan 2014 #97
Thanks for the sanity Yo_Mama Jan 2014 #100
" there is no "subjective" in scientific claims. " You dont seem to know much about rhett o rick Jan 2014 #107
First of all, "hypothesis", not "theory." NuclearDem Jan 2014 #110
A simple calendar proves the hypothesis wrong. X_Digger Jan 2014 #111
That is simple and I guess that's your criteria. nm rhett o rick Jan 2014 #114
Does tepco's radiation move backward through time?!? X_Digger Jan 2014 #115
That's more damning of Robert's hypothesis than anything else. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #116
Even the UCSC study that ironically Earl cited as evidence nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #145
BS RobertEarl Jan 2014 #155
If there's one thing you're an expert on, it's BS. hobbit709 Jan 2014 #157
Grow up. RobertEarl Jan 2014 #158
I'm not the one indulging in childish make believe hobbit709 Jan 2014 #159
I wonder if he "checks out the chicks"? zappaman Jan 2014 #162
I will repeat this again so you can understand this nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #160
You go tell this to the folks telling you star fish are not dying due nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #193
When a poster keeps posting the same bullshit over and over and keeps being told why they are wrong zappaman Jan 2014 #89
I am not surprised that you try to justify your mocking and ridicule. You never do it rhett o rick Jan 2014 #113
Thanks Octafish RobertEarl Jan 2014 #70
shocking you like this post. n-t Logical Jan 2014 #75
Especially the folks doing the research on the matter nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #171
Let's not forget the sardine die off.... Bennyboy Jan 2014 #52
You, personally, are making a mockery of the fukushima event. NCTraveler Jan 2014 #57
Yes they are, but it has nothing to do with Fukushima. MineralMan Jan 2014 #59
Very nice, mm RobertEarl Jan 2014 #79
Why thanks! MineralMan Jan 2014 #80
Shallow advice RobertEarl Jan 2014 #81

Thanks for the kick RobertEarl Jan 2014 #166
When all your kicks ridicule your post I will bet you still won't stop. longship Jan 2014 #168
I say we see this exact same post for the 6th time within 10 days. zappaman Jan 2014 #169
No way, my friend. longship Jan 2014 #173
Yup! It's a double down. longship Jan 2014 #192
I personally am not going to worry about Fukushima Blue_In_AK Jan 2014 #72
That's understood RobertEarl Jan 2014 #73
I think that this is an interesting theory but I would have to see proof before rhett o rick Jan 2014 #84
Thanks RobertEarl Jan 2014 #87
Those in their denial bubbles are afraid of the truth. There and many reactors rhett o rick Jan 2014 #135
That's the problem RobertEarl Jan 2014 #138
Oh for God's sake. A single reactor at Three Mile Island suffered a partial meltdown. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #139
I would not quite say zero instances nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #147
I don't see any conclusive evidence that TMI's radiation caused cancer. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #148

Thanks for the information. democratisphere Jan 2014 #102
Thank you, democratisphere RobertEarl Jan 2014 #108
The government, like many here, won't even acknowledge the possibility of radiation contamination. democratisphere Jan 2014 #112
Living in the Tampa Bay area we have this discussion often with experts in the field of Harmony Blue Jan 2014 #127
Yes. Worth their salt. Good term RobertEarl Jan 2014 #128
+1 Absolutely Harmony Blue Jan 2014 #129
Or rising sea temperatures. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #130
Rising sea temperatures isn't likely Harmony Blue Jan 2014 #174
Except rising sea temperatures have been the cause of previous starfish die offs. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #176
Something seems off this time around Harmony Blue Jan 2014 #180
Here's another discussion idea RobertEarl Jan 2014 #131
Yup nadinbrzezinski Jan 2014 #179
