What`s Worse Than a Nuclear War?

What can you do? The only way to assure ourselves this global disaster will not happen is to join the global movement to abolish these weapons of mass destruction.

(PORTLAND, OR) - What could be worse than a nuclear war? A nuclear famine following a nuclear war. And where is the most likely nuclear war to break out? The India-Pakistan border.

They have fought three wars since 1947 and are contending bitterly for control over the Kashmir and for influence in Afghanistan.

Gundersen: Very Visible Steam at Fukushima Unit 3 is from Constant Radioactive Releases

Steam is coming from hot rubble, it is not related to a new explosion.

(FUKUSHIMA) - Fairewinds Energy Education, Jan. 1, 2014: [...] the Internet has been flooded with conjecture claiming that Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 is ready to explode. Fairewinds Energy Education has been inundated with questions about the very visible steam emanating from Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3. [...]

Hot water vapor has been released daily by each of the four Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants since the accident. We believe that is one of the reasons TEPCO placed covers over Daiichi 4 and 1. [...] radioactive rubble (fission products) was left in each unit [...]

Earth`s Weather Patterns

The Earth’s rotational speed is relatively constant and the jet stream flows up to 300 mph faster than the ground speed. Again, the scientists are doing it backwards.

(SAN DIEGO) - When I was in grade school 80 years ago, the power of the atom was not known or even suspected to be a possibility. The discussions about the heat of the Sun began with the possibility of huge forest fires, then burning coal deposits, then oil and natural gas when they were discovered.
