In reply to the discussion: Fukushima - Unit 4 spent fuel removal >99% complete [View all]Best you've ever done.
But to quote:
The ultimate cause is not clear although such events are often associated with warmer than typical water temperatures as was the case for the major die off in southern California in 1983-1984 and again (on a lesser scale) in 1997-98. Following the 1983-1984 event, the ochre star, Pisaster ochraceus, was virtually absent along southern California shorelines for years.
Note the limited location as compared to the vast expanse of today, and that nearly all species are in trouble today, not just the one localized die-off of 1984.
You do know they have nuclear plants along the shore of S. California, right? And that nuclear plants are known for releasing polluted waters all the time, right? That in fact, they are actually permitted to pollute?
You do know every time they open up one for refueling, nuke gasses are released. Where do those gasses go, jeff?
So, you're still as confused as ever. It is obvious you haven't been studying this situation as much as I, so you are excused from not knowing much. But not excused for showing you don't know much. Really, you are just embarrassing yourself. Again.
Trying to keep from making things up about others would be the first step for curing this malady of yours.
