How Toxic is the World?

Just how toxic is the world becoming?

The bad news:
There is a 6000% increase in thyroid cancers among children in Japan as well as a 600% rise in neurological disease, heart and brain infarctions in Japan and around Chernobyl. All of this directly linked to radiation from nuclear power.
Levels of radioactive iodine and cesium in Japan are millions of times higher than the limits.
Then there is the desertification of the Pacific Ocean in the northwest where billions of sea creatures are dying off.  You can include whales and sea lion to the ever growing list.

"Plans are foiled for lack of counsel, but they are established through many advisers."
Mishlei(proverbs)

There is deliberate pumping of plutonium waste into the water near public beaches of Normandy, France where people come to walk and play.
Dumping in the sea was made illegal in 1993 but this does not stop the industry from doing it in spades!
The English channel has barrels of nuke waste sitting there.
You can bet that these are not isolated situations.

The radioactivity levels around Fukushima itself are at least 50,000,000 times higher than normal.

Old antiquated plants (most built from 1950's designs) are still in use, no progress is made on making them safer or shutting them down. No progress on learning how to handle the radioactivity left over and that may well be because there is no way to handle it.

Worse, Japan does not trust foreign help and is still covering up the extent of the disaster internationally and with its own people thereby cutting themselves off from more help.
 Mishlei(Proverbs) teaches that,
"Plans are foiled for lack of counsel, but they are established through many advisers."
 
The good news:
 Prayer can be powerful in bringing about change.
