This might be a real ignorant question to ask, but what happened in Japan really going to effect the WHOLE world as a whole? I can see Japan and it's surrounding areas, but EVERYONE?
Just a thought.....
I agree people will not pay enough attention and if they do it will only last until they can justify ignoring it(ie: I want a tuna-fish sandwich. One won't hurt.).

If this is more of a slow poisoning of the oceans, then most people will be fine with it, some clever businessman will start selling us all radiation pills. Take 2 every morning and you will be immune to radiated seafood. If it doesn't hit humanity in the form of a huge mushroom cloud or in the form of a giant fire breathing dinosaur, then most people won't care if some fish is 100x above the safe toxicity levels.
Just like with the BP oil spill, slowly but surely seeping out into the oceans. But its a pretty big ocean, and its going to take many years for it to really affect us, which is much longer than any human's attention span.

What can possibly be done about it now?

It seems he's just written a sensationalist piece for the local newspaper's website to promote a talk he was giving. I see no reason to take any notice of it.

Funny, I've been trying to raise awareness of this whole Fukushima ongoing disaster for 6months now and so few people are willing to listen.
It's amazing, the effect that the TV has on people, once it's been on TV a bit, then it's an acceptable piece for social discussion.
No doom porn necessary, because of this clusterfnck directly unloading itself into the earths circulatory system, the effects are going to be very very long term.
