ABFalecbaldwin Japan kills whales and now it wants to kill the ocean.

They better figure it out ASAP! I can't deal with the Stupidity, and Insanity!🤬💀

TEPCO has been leaking radioactive waste for years.

Do you include the voices of local residents and communities in your country?

Omg benigsXXX Jsanb23

THATS THEIR ANSWER, they were operating a Nuclear Energy Site and THEY THINK ITS OK TO DUMP their Waste into the WORLDS OCEANS , surely they can Come Up With any Better Solution than this , Or they should Stay out of the Nuclear Biz before they Contaminate the World

Japan’s secretary of environment said, as his personal opinion that there may not be any other choice than to release the radioactive water to ocean. Which is very irresponsible & disturbing thing to say, and fortunately our media & environment groups are all over this.

Why have they no contingency plan for any of this. Same as deep water horizon!! Golf balls are the answer 😰😰😞

Hey, wtf, killing whales and now this! WTF is wrong with you Japan! I bathe on that ocean!

*Godzilla tweet I'm too giddy to type*

Just what our oceans need. Human beings destroying our amazing planet.

Can they please not 🙄

Our ocean is so fucked

Seriously, humans just f-k up everything.

Wtf😠

After that, radioactive water would be World's problem.

Have these people never seen Godzilla

ABFalecbaldwin No

What's the worst that could happen? . . .

There go the fish....

Isn’t the Oceanic environment polluted enough already? Radioactive water could be traced through all the global currents systems.

Can we build a wall between the Atlantic and Pacific?

WTF

They stored this water on-site for the last 8 years. WHY did they bother if the end result was going to be: DUMPING?

Will “have to”?

Nope

What’s the worst that could happen?
