thats of no consequence. btw, closest to earth in how much time? and did you know, the moon is moving away from the earth @ 4 cm/yr?

i've queue'd up Insane Clown Posse in grooveshark

poor japs. first fat man and little boy, then the nuclear reactors. country is a nuke magnet

Mr. DoomGiver...why are you getting so hyper...i just stated what someone else claimed.....

Also even if the moon is moving away from earth every year...it is also coming closer to the earth because the side of the earth facing the moon feels greater gravitational force than the center of the earth, this causes the earth to elongate a bit. please read the articles links that you you have posted

no no, not getting hyper. just being aggressive(bad thing. sry abt that)
elongation is not too great. by gravitational law, the earth will exert a much greater effect on moon, coz its mass is smaller.

and you can call me doom, everyone does that.

By effect, if you mean acceleration then yes. Both Earth and Moon will pull each other with same force.

i admit, i didnt read them before. but thats just bs. tell me, why are there worse and worse floods and droughts? where there was fertile land, there is dead barren desert.... changing climate patterns, extinct species, rising temperatures, is this not a direct result of us trying to change our environment to suit ourselves?

MINOR?!?! SUN CYCLES!!! sun cycle is a huge, awesome and powerful PHYSICAL phenomenon. i fail to see how it would affect us, unless the sun's heat is being "somehow" absorbed by the earth, if that were so, the earth would be toast like venus. and venus is a prime example of what we could be doing to ourselves. sun cycles are only related to earth via the geomagnetics.
yea, cfc have been banned. waht about those that escape from faulty/old fridges/ cans??? there was a huge industry making that stuff. i dont think that an entire industry removed cfc's from theier products. if they had, lossed would be huge in terms of disposl costs

'environmental degradation and pollution' 'man-made global warming and climate change' both are the RELATED. global warming >>> causes >>> climate change. lol. think about it. yes, i agree that the issue has been grossly hyped sometimes, but it is a very real and immediate threat, not a hoax.

After witnessing the birds eye view of the disasters, no words seems necessary to be spoken, nor will any word be justified.
With an update the toll of people who lost their lives due to Earthquake or Tsunami has risen to about 7000. With count of missing people is more than 10,000!

May they rest in peace.

Added a poll. Since the question was bugging me.
I personally think, the reacters should have made keeping the strongest earthquakes and Tsunami in mind, since it's a sensitive area.

I feel like going to Japan. As a relief and rescue volunteer or something similar. Sad that I don't have the time or money

Japan Crisis Time line.... From the beginning to now... god knows when and how it will end.
But I hope, it does end soon.

Seems more like it that TEPCO was caught with their pants down. They have had a weird history in terms of honestly and correct communication to the authorities.

 

[Vyom]

The extent and seriousness of the Nuclear crisis can be judged from the fact, that TEPCO's Managing Director Akio Komiri himself started to cry, as he left after a press conference in Fukushima!

I am a little worried now that this accident has been categorized in the same one, as kept was the Three Mile Island! (level 5)!!
