This is unscientific. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

  which claim was made? the only claim I see is Japan asserting that it has nothing to do with the radioactive waste they are dumping into the ocean - I say the burden of proof is on them, since that is the claim they are making.

    Where are you seeing Japan making that claim? From the article: > The report noted that dead fish had begun washing ashore almost four months after the plant began discharging the water – which contains small quantities of the radioactive isotope tritium – into the Pacific. > But no one has been able to confirm the cause. “The cause is unknown at the moment,” Mikine Fujiwara, a local fisheries official, told the newspaper. “We plan to sample the seawater at the site and examine it to uncover the cause.”

  What would be unscientific would be to ignore a plausible theory and not explore it using independent researchers from several sources. Or forbidding good sarcasm or jokes about it, because I don't know any PHD around me that don't have those in spades.
