'We’re facing a mass extinction event,' claims Bob Geldof [Telegraph]
“The world can decide in a fit of madness to kill itself,” announced Bob Geldof at the launch of the One Young World summit in Johannesburg. “Sometimes progress may not be possible.
“We're in a very fraught time,” he added. “There will be a mass extinction event. That could happen on your watch.
Of course, that might be worrying enough but the people over at "Global Research" point to a more immediate problem.“The signs are that it will happen and soon.”
Humankind's most dangerous moment: Fukushima fuel pool at unit 4 [Global Research]
The article goes on to say that this could be the most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The worry is that 400 tons of fuel from unit 4 could spill into the ocean which is 15,000 times the radiation released at Hiroshima.
A large scale release according to former Ambassador Mitshuei Murata states that a full scale release "would destroy the world environment and our civilisation. This is not rocket science, nor does it connect to the pugilistic debate over nuclear power plants. This is an issue of human survival".
.
We are now within two months of what may be humankind’s most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
There is no excuse for not acting. All the resources our species can muster must be focussed on the fuel pool at Fukushima Unit 4.
Fukushima’s owner, Tokyo Electric (Tepco), says that within as few as 60 days it may begin trying to remove more than 1300 spent fuel rods from a badly damaged pool perched 100 feet in the air. The pool rests on a badly damagedbuilding that is tilting, sinking and could easily come down in the next earthquake, if not on its own.
Some 400 tons of fuel in that pool could spew out more than 15,000 times as muchradiation as was released at Hiroshima.
