What could distract us more from the reality of Fukushima\u2019s nuclear radiation spreading than the death of Osama Bin Laden?\u00a0 Not much.\u00a0 News is not only fickle and biased towards being new, and the first with the catchiest headlines hooking us with stories that superficially appease society\u2019s limited attention span, and like junk food, fulfill an immediate gratification cycle.\u00a0 When will global significance have the relevant place with depth, media coverage and public information deserved? \u00a0The situation is approached with depth from a philosophical and spiritual perspective in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldteamnow.org\/energy-future-earth.html\">this article, &#8220;Energy and Our Future with Earth<\/a>&#8220;. Below are some topics and links that hopefully help to better understand &#8220;the situation&#8221; that many believe to be over, regarding the radiation at Fukushima, Japan. \u00a0Radiation is a real challenge as we can not see the effect it has or it&#8217;s\u00a0presence. When it comes to our resources like water, air and our earth why is this not #1 for us all?\u00a0 If we don\u2019t have these resources, we can\u2019t survive, so why is this not a priority?\u00a0 Maybe the responsibility is too difficult to embrace\u2014perhaps it\u2019s like the \u201cTitanic,\u201d we realize (even if unconsciously) that we might as well have a party while we are sinking\u2014if it is going to sink anyway. \u00a0That is the only way empathy can be given to humanity\u2019s lack of willingness to be educated on this serious environmental situation.\u00a0 Yes, it is difficult to look at this, but awakening to the truth is a way transformation and lasting change can occur.
