We must protect our environment from all sorts of carbon-related damages. The environmental damages are intolerable and punishable under the international law.
The Japanese government and scientists data is keep falsifying the ground realities occurring on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster where three reactors were blasted after the 9.1 Richter scale earthquake and huge tsunami on 11 March.
Japanese government does not know how to draw the line between safety and operational standards. Public anguish is on the rise. They seem to be angry over official truths.
Government efforts to show minimum environmental damage are only politically and economically motivated. The Japanese side is still optimistic about the lesser evils of the nuclear disaster, which is not the case.
An environmental crime has already been committed damaging the humanity. Nuclear disaster was considered a theory and a fiction but now it has become an absolute reality something more than and beyond reality. Fukushima is Japans Chernobyl.
Comparing the nuclear disaster with Chernobyl atomic reactor in Soviet Union in 1986 was not a rightful comparison, which right away exposed the nearby population to nuclear radiation.
The unprecedented Fukushima power plant was blasted in the air but not right away exposing the nearby population. Nuclear reactors are in fact weapons of mass destruction whose actual intensity is far greater than an atomic bomb.
Exploded after tsunami on 11 March, Fukushima plant is still leaking radiation after 12 days, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
