I was just pointing out a flaw in his reasoning. I didn't argue that it exists (and from what I gather from other comments, it doesn't). But if it did, it could be offset by any number of things, some of which might not be shared to the same extent with other cities.
Or it might be that the baseline background radiation is so small that 2x that baseline is still statistically insignificant compared to other factors.

- gnaffle 13y agoI don't believe anything in particular, that was just one of many potential explanations. That said, I'm not alarmed by the radiation in Japan, I'm more alarmed about the situation of the Fukushima plant and the problems they face with potential leakage into the groundwater (among other things).
