So 1-2 weeks ago my girlfriend forwarded me an article from some rightwing conspiracy nut journalist that covered all of the issues in this article. That article however was based on gross misreadings of the original academic articles on which it was based. Had I not read that previous article, I would have taken a lot more of the content from this article at face value. However, with the curse of knowledge and the fact that every example in this article mirrors that article, I can't help but think that this author basically rewrote that other article in a much more convincing matter and conveniently leaving out all the academic references, that upon closer inspection refute some of the claims here. The thing that bothers me most about this article and the original article is that no causality is established and no other possible causes considered. The studies on bluefin tuna for example showed higher levels of radiation, but not dramatically higher levels and still at levels considered safe for consumption. The other primary sources I read suggested the same. Articles like this should definitely ask questions as to what else could cause so many problems, so widespread. For example, I would expect increased quantities of dissolved CO2 to be a much more likely culprit for these symptoms. Laboratory experiments with three tanks of fish, one control, one irradiated and one exposed to greater amounts of atmospheric CO2 and CO would do more to suggest the true cause that the speculation presented here. I really wish I could find that article as evidence, because it was one that the average educated HNer would tear apart quickly, especially on closer inspection of actual data from primary sources.
