People have been promoting ignorance and I am exhausted at explaining to each of them regarding this.
\nThe ongoing nuclear disaster at Fukushima Power Plant in northeast Japan is horrible. However, we as a society could want to be the most well informed we can about those things that matter to us most, whatever those things might be. People have been using the wrong map as a graphic to show radiation spread across the Pacific. There is no such map. There are maps of ocean circulation model derived estimates of radiation. BUT there are no maps that actually show radiation floating across the Pacific. They do not exist.
\nHere is a great source of information for the ongoing nuclear disaster in northeast Japan: National Geographic<\/a>
\nHere are the data from northeast Japan and from Fukushima itself, unabated by political or corporate filtering.

\nHere are the IAEA reports regarding Fukushima.

\nPeople have been using a map that shows potential sea surface elevations as a result of the subduction zone earthquake offshore Japan on 11 March, 2011. People make the claim that this is a map of radiation. Please do not be so ignorant to share this facebook post. We must have higher standards than this.
\nI memed up this graphic to help inform those who do not know what this map really is. Here it is:
