45. And everything that comes directly from Sen Wyden, take seriously. "Christina Consolo"? not so much.

The problem with excessive hyperbole- and yes, "2.9 billion people... Wur all gonna DIEEEEEEE" is hyperbole- is that it causes people to take none of it seriously.

I am very concerned about Fukushima, but that doesn't mean I'm going to tart listening to every Alex Jones/Russia times conspiracy gibberish blathering "journalist" that comes along.

This OP would be far more persuasive if it didn't have "naturalnews" as a source up there with Ron Wyden.
