That's unconscionable!

This morning Vladimir Putin made a speech to the nation praising the concreters who buried the reactor! Saying exactly that: that the meltdown would have been far worse if it weren't for those men, and that they are all heroes!

Bloody governments, bloody bureaucracy, bloody humans.

"Apparently fertility rates are down amongst animal populations, but their numbers are steadily on the rise."

They're not really you know. It's just that the lynx now has six legs instead of four so it looks like there are more of them passing through. That and the new lant life is carniverous. Benefits of a radiactive repopulation program...

Thankyou. You are loved by me also so I send you kisses. and of course in the original response I was refering to plant life as I don't thing fallout has yet seen the production of the new species of "lants" as yet. Another 30 or 40 years I'd say.

That's right: HUmans are worse for the environment than large scale nuclear leaks.

I find that utterly unsurprising.

So how many new species did we create out there?

Aside from the eventual evolution of the "lants" approximately 43.

was reading somewhere else on LJ that they have found lots of animals with mutations, but they seem to be getting on with their shit, which is nice.

When I went to visit Village Lobastov out between Moscow and the Ural Mountains we stayed in the nearest major city - Kirov.
Near Kirov there is a facility called Kirov200.
As we found out after we left the area and after all the headaches and bizzare intense nightmares stopped, Kirov200 was a soviet biological warfare compound.
Following the fall of communism financial backing for it was stopped.. not wound down, not slowed down, Stopped.
Just like that. The peopel who worked and live in it couldnt move, werent getting paid.. most of them are still there goign into Kirov for work. By latest reports 85% of children born there are deformed.
