R.I.P. Pacific Ocean
Original article from SHTFplan.com HERE details our destruction of a major part of the biosphere and the global ecology:
The ocean is dying, by all accounts – and if so, the food supply along with it. The causes are numerous, and overlapping. And massive numbers of wild animal populations are dying as a result of it.
Natural causes in the environment are partly to blame; so too are the corporations of man; the effects of Fukushima, unleashing untold levels of radiation into the ocean and onto Pacific shores; the cumulative effect of modern chemicals and agricultural waste tainting the water and disrupting reproduction.
A startling new report says in no uncertain terms that the Pacific Ocean off the California coast is turning into a desert. Once full of life, it is now becoming barren, and marine mammals, seabirds and fish are starving as a result. According to Ocean Health:
The waters of the Pacific off the coast of California are a clear, shimmering blue today, so transparent it’s possible to see the sandy bottom below […] clear water is a sign that the ocean is turning into a desert, and the chain reaction that causes that bitter clarity is perhaps most obvious on the beaches of the Golden State
And from an older article:
“A few days ago, with over a three year delay, Japan finally admitted what was clear to most from day one: the consequences of the Fukushima disaster have been far, far worse than officials had reported, and not only is the containment effort out of control, but that more nuclear fuel had melted at the Fukushima nuclear reactor than previously reported…”
“Highly radioactive water at the plant is seeping into the earth and mixing with ground water.
Experts estimate around 200 tons of contaminated ground water are leaking into the ocean each day.” http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-09/japan-prepares-release-thousands-tons-fukushima-groundwater-pacific
Some go so far as to call what they see on Pacific coasts "the results of an attack on the food chain." As if pesticide runoff and hormones and medicines weren't bad enough in the water supply, we have oil spills and the enormous gusher of radiation from Fukushima which are making the Pacific Ocean a dead zone. Animals are having mass die-offs and among humans, various cancer rates are soaring. If we poison the largest ocean we may be reducing the biocapacity of the planet by a third in just a few years. This will have a fast and tragic impact on the world.
