In a study released just before Christmas, researchers estimate that 14,000 Americans died due to the effects of radioactive materials released by the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in March 2011.We take it apart in this piece.
14,000 out of a population of 350,000,000 comes out to a 0.0004 percent increase in the mortality rate, assuming my often faulty arithmetic is correct. And the cause is, of course, absolutely nailed to Fukushima. It couldn't possibly be something else, like Global Warming/Nuclear Winter/The Brutal Afghan Autumn, or bird flu, or swine flu, horse flu, duck flu, or an increase in solar radiation by-products associated with Green Technology™.
