ted every year has polar vortexs, what concerns me is how easy you libs are brain washed

Dude, it happens all the time. It's nature. Nature does this stuff.

>> And the repeated storms/the Polar Vortex doesn't concern you? But we know the occurrence of extreme weather events has actually declined over recent years. So you want to point to a snowstorm as evidence of "global warming"?

Don't you live on the west coast? Maybe your pro nuke President can take 5 minutes to address the poisoning of the entire north Pacific. ==== Journal of Ocean University of China, April 2014: ‘A study of transport and impact strength of Fukushima nuclear pollutants in the North Pacific surface’ Abstract Based on the statistics of surface drifter data of 1979–2011 and the simulation of nuclear pollutant particulate movements simulated using high quality ocean reanalysis surface current dataset, the transport pathways and impact strength of Fukushima nuclear pollutants in the North Pacific have been estimated. The particulates are used to increase the sampling size and enhance the representativeness of statistical results. [...] most pollutant particles move eastward and are carried by the Kuroshio and Kuroshio-extension currents and reach the east side of the North Pacific after about 3.2–3.9 years [...] the impact strength of nuclear pollutants at these time scales can be estimated according to the temporal variations of relative concentration combined with the radioactive decay rate. For example, Cesium-137, carried by the strong North Pacific current, mainly accumulates in the eastern North Pacific and its impact strength is 4% of the initial level at the originating Fukushima area after 4 years. [...] Excerpt The incident has been listed as the biggest ever release of radioactive materials into the oceans [...] The transport of nuclear pollutants is mainly controlled by surface ocean current. [...] as a result of oceanic advection and diffusion the cesium-I37 concentrations decreased to less than 10 BqL [10,000 Bq/m3] in the simulation domain by the end of May 2011. [...] most of the nuclear material in the ocean would be slowly transported northeast of Fukushima and reach 150°E in 50 [days] [...] the nuclear debris in thc ocean would be confined to a narrow band [...]
