Seals, Sea Lions, Polar Bears, Bald Eagles, Sea Stars, Turtles, King and Sockeye Salmon, Herring, Anchovies, Sardines All Dying
We’ve previous documented that seals, sea lions, polar bears, sea stars, turtles, sockeye salmon, herring, anchovies and sardines on the West Coast of North America are all suffering mysterious diseases … which are killing many.
We’ve asked whether this is related to massive releases of radiation from Fukushima. Update.
Sadly, we can now add other wildlife to the list.
EneNews reports:
Los Angeles Times, Dec. 29, 2013: Bald eagles are dying in Utah — 20 in the past few weeks alone — and nobody can figure out why. [...] Many suffered from seizures, head tremors and paralysis [...] Many of the eagles were brought to the mammoth Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah [...] Within 48 hours, most were dead. [...] State wildlife specialists are baffled. For weeks, officials have sent birds for necropsies [...] At first, the agency’s disease scientists guessed the illness could be encephalitis, which is caused by the West Nile virus, but later ruled out that possibility. [...] Officials suggest the die-off is possibly connected to the deaths of thousands of eared grebes that began in Utah in November. [...] Officials still don’t know why the shore birds became sick. [...] Officials at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center have their own theories. Some point to radiation from Japan after the 2011 meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. [...] A call from Idaho shed new light: A wildlife official said bald eagles there were also getting sick, suggesting the birds were arriving in Utah already in bad health.
Buz Marthaler, Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah co-founder: “It’s just hard to have your national bird in your arms, going through seizures in a way it can’t control — when you can see it’s pain but don’t know what’s happening to it. As a human being, you just have problems with that. And when you lose one, it just grabs your heart. [...] In an average year, we might get one or two, but we’ve received nine so far, and five of those have died. The other four are still in our care. [...] We aren’t ruling out anything.”

Washington Post, Dec. 30, 2013: [...] “This is really concerning to us,” says [Leslie McFarlane, the wildlife disease program coordinator for the state’s Division of Wildlife Resources]. She has been program coordinator for 10 years and describes the recent deaths as “very unusual.” [...] The symptoms noted in the recent spate of deaths—and the broad geographical area in which they have cropped up—are what has officials concerned.
In a second article, EneNews notes:
Juneau Empire, Dec. 29, 2013: [...] the king [chinook] salmon — has fallen from its throne. [...] Alaska has seen unprecedented declines in recent years [...] scientists like Joe Orsi and Jim Murphy, both fisheries research biologists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, are digging deeper into [...] the cause of the startling downward trend. [...] When asked about the potential impact Fukushima may be having on king salmon stocks in the Gulf of Alaska and elsewhere in the state, Orsi would not comment. “I’ve been told to refer you to the (Environmental Protection Agency),” he said, “Because I’m not an expert on the topic.” Calls and emails to the EPA were not returned in time and digging on the federal agency’s site revealed no current information on radiation from the Fukushima disaster. The last posted monitoring results occurred in June of 2011.
Unfortunately, the American and Japanese governments are doing everything they can to cover up the severity of the Fukushima disaster. Indeed, anytime government or big corporations screw up, the government works to cover it up … instead of actually fixing the problem. And see this.
EneNews continues:
Bellingham Herald, Dec. 5, 2013: “[...] we see from test fisheries that the Chinook numbers returning to the Fraser River system were at a record low,” explained Ken Balcomb, executive director and principal investigator for The Center for Research and a science advisor to the whale watch association. [...] [An] alarming decrease of an important identified food resource [...]
Islander Sound, Dec. 25, 2013: [A] dismal return of Chinook salmon to the Fraser River.
Salmon Fishing in British Columbia, Canada: There are two major salmon runs of Chinook that are targeted by anglers; the Fraser river [and] Harrison River.
December 2013: Previously unpublished map from gov’t scientists shows Fukushima plume already at Alaska coast (PHOTO)
Note from Management: All of these mystery diseases and deaths at the same time are just a coincidence. You are perfectly safe. This is not the Droid you're looking for ...

Oh, so now climate change is responsible for the nuclear testing, too, huh?
I thought so and there it is in black and white.
Everybody was saying I was nuts.
Hah!
Long Love Comrade Gore!
Well actually I was asking if radiaton, nuclear testing could be responsible for climate change. I don't think Gore could even make the case that climate change was responsible for nuclear testing. I believe nuclear testing was invented some years before the invention of climate change.
Right where I'm sitting on the Canadian shield, used to be under a half mile of ice. Not too sure that nuclear testing (or the truck in my driveway) was responsible for that.
Go jump in a lake...Then proclaim that human interference with water HAS MADE IT WET!! Then make a documentary about your "scientific discovery," calling out for a new H2O tax, and an immediate restriction on all things wet 'n wild/
Would this be a good place to offer a mocking prayer for those intrepid "climate scientists" and eco-freak tourists & journalists trapped in the ice down in Antarctica...in their summer?
"The scientists have been stuck aboard the stricken MV Akademik Schokalskiy since Christmas Day, with repeated sea rescue attempts being abandoned as icebreaking ships failed to reach them.
Now that effort has been ditched, with experts admitting the ice is just too thick. Instead the crew have built an icy helipad, with plans afoot to rescue the 74-strong team by helicopter.
The expedition is being lead by Chris Turney, a climate scientist, who was hoping to reach the base camp of Douglas Mawson, one of the most famous Antarctic explorers, and repeat observations done by him in 1912 to see what impact climate change had made."

You are too smart to take an isolated event and project it into a global trend, or are you? Climatatologists study long term trends on a global basis. The modeling isn't capable of predicting isolated variations. Don't forget that TPTB have more to lose addressing climate change than to gain from it. The motivation for denial is far more powerful (ie money).
"You are too smart to take an isolated event and project it into a global trend,"
Unless it's Hurricane Sandy of course where the connection is clear despite no evidence of increasing numbers or intensity of storms in the past 50 years.

And who benefits financially from carbon markets and carbon taxes?
"And don't leave stuff lying around on ftp sites — you never know who is trawling them. The two MMs have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I'll delete the file rather than send it to anyone." - Phil Jones to Michael Mann email.
Yes, they seem very "scientific" at hiding the decline and felonious to boot...lol.
How nmewn can believe stuff like this yet not even begin to accept 911 truth is beyond me. Of course I don't understand 911 truth deniers at all. And I don't trust them.
Happy New Year Clash, try and make a commitment to work on your Obsessive Cumpulsive Disorder regarding me.
I still luv ya babe ;-)
Climate change deniers have a lot better funding.

9/11 Truthers are still held at bay with MSM personal attacks.
exactly-see if you are wet...
Radiation itself will never have a noticeable effect on the climate because if there was enough radiation to do this, there would be no advanced life to notice the effect. Think "nearby supernova aims its gamma ray burst at us" levels of radiation. Even then, your flesh would probably fall from your bones before the sky turned brown.
Nuclear testing has a cooling effect due to mushroom clouds sucking up dust into the stratosphere. The half-life for the climate getting back to normal is of order a decade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter
I have that odd tingly feeling that an uninhabitable northern hemisphere will not be due to "climate change".
" ... seals, sea lions, polar bears, sea stars, turtles, sockeye salmon, herring, anchovies and sardines ..."
I guess that leaves us only with Escolar and greasy farts?
Fucking hell man, I didn't even have a chance to eat some seals yet
Did you get a chance to club any?
... wo(men)...
Those that bow to widely accepted knowledge;
Are like the sands of the sea.
small by magnitude.
large in multitude,
AND very difficult to wash from the crack of your ass
Fukushima? That is an awful, shameful stretch of a suggestion George.
Reminds me of the actions of the statist eco-goons of the 1970s scaring us kids with tales of deformed frogs, global cooling and on and on and on....
Fukushima? Highly doubtful. Effects of gross over-population of homo sapiens? Probably. Nature? Almost certainly.
Aside from the climate change/Fukushima link (non-existent) wouldn't you call nuclear waste one effect of over-population.
I guess I'll leave this here as well. :)
