Radsafe/Parthasarathy:

     You should probably start to look at glacial data  from 2005 to 2015.  
Such data may be available from Goddard Space Flight  Center's website.  
VLBI and Atmospheric Angular Momentum data are available  there also (NASA 
Goddard).  Lately scientists from Goddard (Dr.  Parkinson???) have been 
claiming that they do not understand what is going on  with their glacial/world ice 
data.  This is perhaps because they do not  understand Earth Rotation and 
the Earth wobbles.  I have asked someone from  Goddard who is knowlegeable 
about Earth Rotation/Wobbles to explain this stuff  to the atmospheric 
scientists.  This may actually be happening because  Goddard is starting to issue 
statements about USA droughts???

     If India wants to understand the Himalaya glacier  situation, perhaps 
India should put me in a room with a computer and Goddard's  data.  These 
phenomena are discussed in books by Munk and MacDonald,  Lambeck  I and II, 
and papers by Smith and Dahlen, Gross and Chao, Dickman,  Preisig, Hinnov and 
many others.,

    The beats of the various wobble frequencies might  be understood by 
referring to a standard physics/mechanics book.  Beats of  frequencies which 
are close to one another.  In VLBI Earth Orientation data  (i.e the wobbles) 
one can find the angle at which the Earth's spin axis dips  towards the Sun.  
A similar physical situation might be the well-known  Sodium doublet --- 
two frequencies close to one another --- are beat phenomena  observed for the 
Sodium doublet.???

Obviously, there's a difference between being "detectable" and  being 
environmentally significant. It's almost too bad we are so good at  detecting 
such low levels of radioactivity - it's hard to convince people who  don't know 
the science (or who refuse to learn the science) that just because  we can 
detect something doesn't mean that it's dangerous.

Roger,

More Christina MacPherson.  Germany does not  appear to  be very 
pro-nuclear.  The Green party is in place.

Is  Der  Spiegel known for campaigning against nuclear power?     This
article certainly does not appear to be based on sound  journalism  or

Fukushima nuclear  catastrophe  changed the world

Spiegel   Online International (Der Spiegel, German news magazine), Feb.
5,  2015  (emphasis added): [It's] the worst accident in the history of  
civilian  atomic power... The Fukushima catastrophe changed the  world.
Nuclear  reactors melted down on live television and twice as  much 
radioactive  material was released as during the Chernobyl accident  in 1986. The  
disaster... poisoned entire landscapes for centuries and  killed hundreds of 
 thousands of farm animals... Fukushima is more than  just a place-name, it 
 is an historical event...

Scientists from  the Chinese Academy of  Sciences, University of Venice, 
and Nanjing  University, Feb 6, 2015: The â  radioactivity of snow-pit samples 
 collected in the spring of 2011 on four  Tibetan Plateau glaciers  
demonstrate a remarkable peak in each snow pit  profile, with peaks about  ten to 
tens of times higher than background  levels. The timing of these  peaks 
suggests that the high radioactivity  resulted from the Fukushima  nuclear... 
The released radioactive  nuclear substances not only polluted  Japan... but 
also spread to other  areas of the Northern Hemisphere via  atmospheric 
circulation and  ocean currents, affecting the hemispheric  and even global 
environment. As  an overdose of nuclear radiation may  seriously threaten human 
health  and wildlife survival, this nuclear  accident has caught the 
attention  of the world. The radioactive fallout  [was] detected in the  atmosphere, 
soil, surface water, and pastures in  the low-altitude regions  of North 
America... Much of the radioactive  material was transported by  the 
westerlies, resulting in the fallout  over North America... [T]o  reach the Tibetan 
Plateau, material  transported by the westerlies has  to first circle much of 
the globe...  In May 2011, snow-pit samples  were collected on the 
Gurenhekou  Glacier... Dongkemadi Glacier...  Muztag Glacier and Yuzhufeng 
Glacier...  In 2005 and 2007, we drilled ice  cores...
Tanggula ice core [and]  Yuzhufeng ice core... Clearly, the peak  â 
radioactivities in the snow  pits... are much higher than that in  the 
corresponding local ice cores,  and even overwhelm the peak  â radioactivities caused by 
past atmospheric  thermonuclear tests in  the early 1960s... The peak â 
radioactivities...  are 11.0 and 92.4  times larger than their local average 
background  levels... attributed to  the Fukushima radioactive fallout... The  
Fukushima nuclear accident...  created a radioactive horizon that can be  
used as independent age markers  in snow and ice cores in the Northern  
Hemisphere... providing a  direct record of the impacts of human  activities on 
the Earth's  environment...
