1. I get why it’s controversial. I don’t see any other option either. A hands tied situation. The water has to go somewhere.

2. The Host part 3.

3. good, let’s get this over with so we don’t have to see all the unscientific clickbaits and tandrums from China about it anymore.

5. From what I have gathered. As long as the water is treated according to plan scientifically and properly, then the water should pose no significant effects towards the environment.

   I mean IAEA also gave the green light, unless people want to believe that Japanese government singlehandedly bribed IAEA, otherwise what is the real problem? Do people actually think that they know more about this than nuclear experts that have spent years studying nuclear science?

6. now it’s jiyuu na shima

7. Out of the 25 filters, 24 were found to be damaged, and they were unable to determine the cause. I’m curious whether all the filters have since been repaired and are functioning properly now.

   When it comes to the safety of this decision, there are conflicting opinions among experts. Unfortunately, the voices of many nations and scientists opposing this decision seem to be going unheard.

   It’s intriguing to observe how easily people accept something as safe just because it’s endorsed by experts. In contrast, when WHO officials and experts initially made statements about Covid, people were skeptical because of WHO’s significant funding ties with China. Similarly, the IAEA, which is also heavily funded by Japan, raises questions about potential conflicts of interest. Just so you know, a lot of Japanese don’t support this as well.
   (What experts and scientists say is important. Know that there are scientists who think it’s safe and don’t think it’s safe)

   I’m expecting to have a lot of downvote already.

8. Godzilla predicted to stampede parts of Tokyo on Friday. No connection.
