Thank you so much for posting the link. One of the best scientific papers to date corroborating concerns in April over the jetstream transporting significant amounts of Fukushima radiation to our shores. The northern hemisphere was blanketed, after all--not just with Xenon (as modelled by NILU and subsequently removed from the internet).
Where is the Canadian science?
Hello, are we still allowed to do science, or talk about science in Canada?
I haven't seen a single paper on Fukushima emissions in Canadian air, soil, seafood, milk or water from Canada.
Canadian air radionuclide monitoring has gone back behind closed doors (public reporting every 4 months, really?). I haven't heard of any soil measurements, other than those of the citizen-driven effort. Seafood, milk and imports from Japan may or may not be screened by the Canadian govt for radioactivity. Either way, the Canadian public certainly isn't hearing about the results. (And, by the way, Canadian action levels for seafood are much lower than the Japanese, so we can eat their contaminated seafood).
It seems like we are moving toward where the US was 10 years ago. As President Obama encourages American scientists to speak out, our scientists are being muzzled and fired by the Harper government.
Our ozone monitoring stations--an integral part of the international ozone monitoring network--have been decommissioned. After the largest ever ozone hole over North America was discovered in 2011. Hundreds of Environment Canada and DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) scientists are being eliminated--the latter after the worst salmon crisis in history. So monitoring of stock is reduced instead of increased in the face of a possible ecological crisis (because scientists determined that wild Pacific salmon stocks were decimated by diseases originating from farmed salmon). People speaking out against salmon farming are being persecuted and deported. Canadian environmentalists and First Nations are termed "radicals" by the Harper government, who knows just one word: the ECONOMY.
Only thing is, we won't have an economy without an environment.
