150 square kilometers was made uninhabitable.
- Swenrekcah 3y agoHow many square kilometres of fertile land are we losing to fossil production and climate change effects each year? I don’t know the answer but probably more than 150 I’d wager.
- nl 3y agoYes! Replacing fossil fuel with renewables is a great solution!
- genocidicbunny 3y agoI wonder how much desertification just the ongoing heatwave in Africa, Middle East and Asia is going to cause -- probably much more than 150km^2.
- eropple 3y agoHow many fossil fuel sites are Superfunds? How much land is going to be rendered sub-arable over the next hundred years from climate change?
- goatlover 3y agoThe wildlife is probably thriving in the absence of humans just like at Chernobyl.
- waboremo 3y agoWhat's so interesting about this is that it wasn't radiation that had the biggest direct effect here (like most would assume), even the CDC and WHO recognizes this, it was the social after effects of having zero systems in place to support safe relocation. Let that sink in, after a nuclear disaster (and two MAJOR natural disasters), the most devastating impact of living in the area was having to live in underfunded temporary housing and the stigma of being viewed as "contaminated". This is something every society needs a solution for. It's not just about nuclear, natural disasters happen all the time and the best system we have in place is "leave". We can do so much better. This is another instance where improving temporary public housing isn't "just for homeless people", it's for everyone.
