And here we go, "Trace" levels of Radiation! That's all, don't worry about it right?
Fine, but I do not trust the EPA, (A government thing, you know) and knowing what most Government agencies do "LIE" I ain't buying it.
For one why are we not hearing about the radiation traversing the U.S., why is nothing being said. the Japanese Government has been lying for weeks over how much radiation has been being spewed into the environment, so why wouldn't ours do the same? you know,
all in the name of helping Japan, all in the name of keeping panic out of the news, all in the name of Bullshit!
No I don't think we are being overdosed with radiation, but I do believe that our Government would specifically keep numbers at lower levels so as to keep us in the dark over how much we really are being radiated! in the name of "It's for our own good"

Trace amounts of radioactive iodine from Japan's crippled nuclear reactors have been found in drinking water in Washington State and Idaho, the Environmental Protection Agency announced late Monday.
The levels of iodine-131 found -- about 0.2 picocuries per liter -- in drinking water samples from Boise, Idaho, and Richland, Wash., are so small that EPA officials estimate that an infant would have to drink nearly 7,000 liters to receive a dose of radiation equivalent to a day's worth of normal background radiation.
"Earlier precipitation samples collected by EPA have shown trace amounts of radioactivity, so EPA has expected to find results such as these in some drinking water samples," the statement read. "Similar findings are to be expected in the coming weeks."
The EPA's standard for the maximum level of iodine-131 in drinking water is 3 picocuries per liter. Iodine-131 can be harmful in higher amounts, particularly to infants and young children, because it concentrates in the thyroid gland and can lead to cancer.
Drinking water tested free of detectable levels of radioactive contaminants in several other U.S. cities, including Seattle; Portland; Idaho Falls, Idaho; New Orleans; Bismarck, N.D.; Austin, Texas; and Lynchburg, Va.
Also on Monday, the EPA reported elevated levels of radionuclides in rainwater from Olympia, Portland and cities in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, New York, Ohio and Tennessee. Levels of iodine-131 ranged as high as 242 picocuries per liter in Boise. Levels in Olympia, Wash., and Portland, Ore., were 125 picocuries per liter and 87 picocuries per liter, respectively.
Although those levels are several times higher than the EPA's drinking-water standard for iodine-131, the agency says that the standard is designed to protect a person who drinks contaminated water daily for 70 years. However, because the isotope has a half-life of eight days, levels of iodine-131 are expected to drop quickly.

UN climate change chief Rajendra Pachauri says sorry — and switches to neutral
Attention EPA ,
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
Errors ? Try LIES !
“I will try to clarify that I’m not prescribing anything as a solution. Maybe I should be more careful [in media interviews] in laying down certain riders. One learns from that and I’m learning.”
Really , You should be more Careful and Al Gore should also .
If there was a way to calculate all the money spent on the lies of Global Warming , by way of increased Taxes , increased fuel costs , and time wasted by governments spinning their wheels to keep up with a completely False Idea , I wish it to be done .(And there are many more wastes of money , I can't think of them all )
And the results should be divided up between the Conspirators of Global warming so as to repay the Money to all the Governments and the People !
We have been paying for these lies for years and it is beyond time to stop .

The outspoken chairman of the UN’s climate change body is to adopt a neutral advisory role and has agreed to stop making statements demanding new taxes and other radical policies on cutting emissions.
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
He also apologised for describing as “voodoo science” an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.
But Dr Pachauri, 70, rejected calls for his resignation and insisted he would remain as chairman until after publication of the IPCC’s next report in 2014.
He claimed he had the support of all the world’s governments and denied that, by remaining in post, he was undermining the IPCC’s chances of regaining credibility with the public.
“It is not correct to say there are people who don’t trust me,” he said.
He admitted it had been a mistake to give the impression, in many interviews, that he was advocating specific actions to cut emissions. Last year, he called for higher taxes on aviation and motoring, said people should eat less meat, and proposed that hotel rooms should have electricity meters to charge people extra for using air conditioning.
Speaking in London yesterday, he said he would focus in future on presenting the science on climate change rather than advocating policies.

EPA, Countering Critics of Greenhouse Gas Findings, Says 'Science Is Settled'
Science is supposed to be founded on Fact .
When a set "theory" is said to be fact without really studying it , it should never be taken as fact .
When evidence is uncovered disproving any theory set before whether fact or not , it should be scientifically Studied .
Having tree hugging hippie douchbags tell everyone that their supposed theory is fact , is not the way to handle this ,
In science you MUST BE IMPARTIAL !
Sometimes in science a proven fact is legitimately proven wrong , it happens all the time .
So for the EPA to just say poo on you about the recent revelations that global warming Has been founded on lies , and knowing that the scientists who are in the EPA are tree hugging hippie douchbags , just goes to show that another government money pit of a organization is working against us innocent people , all so they can justify their existence , and further rape us of our tax dollars .

The Environmental Protection Agency, responding complaints about its December findings about the threat of greenhouse gases, issued a statement Friday saying that the "science is settled" and "greenhouse gases pose a real threat to the American people."
The statement comes after after Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed a petition with the EPA and a challenge in federal appeals court over the EPA's conclusions.
With climate scientists in the hot seat recently over an e-mail scandal and mistakes in a prominent U.N. report, Cuccinelli argues the EPA should "restart the process and this time use rigorous, defensible science."
He says the EPA is expected to announces measures to cap carbon emissions, based on its climate change findings, and that will put a "staggering burden" on Virginia residents and businesses.
The EPA says it is going forward with "common sense measures that are helping to protect Americans from this threat" and said its critics are trying to "stall progress."
Some who support the EPA's efforts to enact carbon caps on vehicle emissions say Cuccinelli is just playing politics.
"It's very clear this is coming from lawyers, not scientists, and there's really no new science that needs to be resolved," said Brendan Bell, Washington representative for the Union of Concerned Scientists, a leading nonprofit environmental group.
But the science that climatologists have been using has come under fire. Recently, some parts of the 2007 United Nations Panel Report on Climate Change were found to contain mistakes, including a claim that the Himalayan glaciers would melt away by 2035.
And one of the lead scientists in the Climate-gate scandal last year, Phil Jones, acknowledged that there has been no statistically significant global warming since 1995. But he also claims most of the climate warning since 1950 is "due to human activity."
