Simple...Because they could be wrong. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
No second line required, but added just because.
If they can't get a 24 hour forecast
correct, why do we trust them on anything?

Radiation is also more like extra electrons bouncing around from broken atoms.. its not a chemical on the periodic element
Because if you think about it, all radiation is, is a chemical particle. On the periodic table of elements from you guessed it, Chemistry class.

What symbol on the periodic table stands for radiation?![]()
![]()
Radiation is not a particle, it is energy. Plutonium may be a particle, but the radiation it emits is not a particle.
Adding something like Vitamin C to the Ocean is not the same as adding it to your diet. Vitamin C might flush out of your body fairly quickly (although it is possible to overdose), but the Ocean is not your body. Adding Vitamin C would change the pH of the Ocean, and it would affect some lifeforms favorably and some infavorably, and it would change the ecology of the ocean. Look at the terrible effects of Nitrogen on water ecosystems. Nitrogen is fairly harmless to a person as well, and it is an essential element in soil, and it occurs naturally, but it is also a terrible pollutant with terrible consequences when it gets out of balance.
Sorry, but these solutions are rarely simple or....... "QuickFix"es.![]()
I agree. But, it was more of a dig at all the so-called "experts."
The people most at risk for this type of vitamin overdose are ones who consume vitamin c supplements on a daily basis. ...
Minor symptoms include a strong smell during urination, bloating or gas, nausea, and an upset stomach. One might also experience sores on the inside of their mouth.....
In a more severe case of overdose one might notice the following symptoms: the development of kidney stones, a greater need for oxygen, and deficiencies in B vitamins as well as copper. These symptoms usually only show up in more severe cases in which at least 6,000mg of vitamin c has been consumed, or when someone takes a large amount of vitamin c and other vitamins or minerals.....
If vitamin c overdose is left too long, it can lead to many long term complications, such as kidney disease, diabetes, and hypoglycemia. Many of these complications are irreversible or difficult to treat,
