Mutant Butterflies are Turning Up in Japan's Nuclear Disaster Zone

The first serious indications of the ecosystem impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan are in, and they’re troubling. Researchers there collected 144 common pale grass blue butterflies from the region a couple of months after the catastrophic nuclear meltdowns leaked radiation into the environment last year. After studying them for a few generations, those researchers are finding signs of genetic mutations that are leading to physical abnormalities.

Those abnormalities include smaller-sized wings, disfigured antennas, strange indentations in the eyes, and shifts in wing color patterns. Initially, only 12 percent of the butterflies sampled showed such mutations. But samples collected six months later showed abnormalities on the rise--28 percent of this second group exhibited abnormalities while 52 percent of their offspring expressed mutations, indicating that the genetic issues arising from the radiation exposure are manifesting themselves further generation after generation.

I actually feel like having a nap when i think about Japan poisoning the entire world.
Cognitive Dissonance....nicely explained there.
Also displayed here in this thread.
Japan sucks, at least when Russia fucked up they sent in their own troops to minimize damage to the world. Japan is pussy footing around right now. Pathetic.

A couple years ago I wrote a screenplay called "Flutter" about killer butterflies...maybe it needs an update....

I think what the article is saying is ..."just wait until you see them humans in a few years."
