Scientists said today that genetic mutations have been found in three generations of butterflies that originate near Fukushima. The frightening part is this, according to the research facts they released: 12% of pale grass blue butterflies had abnormalities, during the second generation is 18%.. during the third generation it dramatically increased to 34%--an obvious upswing showing that later generations are increasingly in effects from what occurred in Japan.
If you read comments on the story you will observe there are countless amounts of flippant jokes and sarcastic quips about butterflies, Godzilla, and other immature chuckles. But what is true is this: There are serious consequences for this planet any time something nuclear occurs. The fact that governments tried to hide seriousness last year of what happened at Fukushima is the most telling example that what happened at Fukushima should be carefully studied and monitored. We are what we eat.. we stand in the rain without umbrellas.. we hope our water is clean. And we fondly look at beautiful butterflies as they meander from plant to planet. Maybe everything is illuminated because perhaps everything is radiated.
