His post on this issue are designed to create doubt about the damage Fukushima has done by creating confusion over the damage Fukushima has done.
1) He posted something so poorly thought out and so poorly argued, without supporting evidence that even the environmentalists who are anti-nuclear (like myself) are forced to correct him.
This has one primary effect: for those who are not experts, they now have to doubt the negative posts about Fukushima in general and unfortunately, this gives those propagandists for nuclear power an advantage by making them agree with conscientious anti-nuclear activists that know that this one specific thing that he said is embarrassingly unsubstantiated.
By doing this he has in this case 1) split the anti-nuclear people here from others who are against nuclear energy or expansion and 2) among those who aren't experts in this topic has created confusion about the very real and very well demonstrated problems Fukushima really has caused, but the blur of argument and misinformation on doubtful issues will cause confusion about things which are not doubted.
I'm not just arguing that what he's doing is damaging to anti-nuclear ideas here on DU, I'm arguing that it is intentional.
Second, he has been posting BS on topic after topic, including outright racist posts since he began to accelerate his postings in the past year:

52. My opinion
Since our society is making progress and slowly dropping the wall of privilege, or glass ceiling, the society as a whole will improve. Be better.
But it is what it is and we can thank the wm, as a whole, for producing the easy life we now enjoy. The US and Europe have it very, very good historically, and imo, it has to do with the affirmative action the wm embraced and made good with.

Everyone needs to come to grips with the fact that the privileged white male has been very, very good for this society. That thru that privilege our human society have great things upon which our easy lives' rest. Our unions and our work ethic have resulted in all of us living like only the few kings and queens did 100 years ago.
I am a wm and I'm proud and privileged.

If birds congregate, problems can arise...
4. Klamath river?
There's water in them there rivers.
Birds can fly and find water. Sure, if they congregate problems can arise. But birds are smart enough to flap their wings and find the habitat they need. Of course they can't tell if the radiation is there or anywhere. Neither can humans. But we have Geiger counters.
And the counters have found radiation all up and down the coast. And radiation levels are always highest where water has settled. Like it does in marshes. Don't close your mind off to the possibilities is all I am saying.
