This is the result of a billion dollar a year media corporation treating the words "scientist" and "narrator" as synonyms: David Suzuki 'regrets' claim that another Fukushima disaster would require mass evacuations in North America
Three months after making the wildly overblown claim that a second nuclear emergency at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant would require the evacuation of the North American West Coast, environmentalist David Suzuki said he “regrets” the comments.
Nevertheless, the Nature of Things host did not seem to go so far as to renege the claim, which has baffled nuclear scientists.
“I regret having said it, although my sense of potential widespread disaster remains and the need for an urgent international response to dealing with the spent rods at Fukushima remains,” wrote Mr. Suzuki in an email to The Province, which was compiling a feature on myths surrounding the 2011 Japanese tsunami.
He also said that it was “an off-the-cuff response.”
