4. No. It was actually worse than the big bogeyman at Fukushima.

Extreme weather is a function of extreme global heating. Compared to extreme global heating, the big bogeyman at Fukushima is a triviality. To my mind, the extreme overreaction to things like the big bogeyman at Fukushima is largely responsible for extreme global heating.

I wonder if the Western North Carolina, Georgia, East Tennessee, and the Pan Handle of Florida will be cleaned up to the same standard we seem to require for the reactors at Fukushima, that being, that no one, no matter how low their level of education, no matter how indifferent they are to extreme global heating, can even imagine that someone somewhere at sometime may be injured or killed by exposure to the debris from Hurricane Helene.
