By the same rational, you should be able to produce studies correlating granite and skin cancer

https://www.epa.gov/radiation/granite-countertops-and-radiation

If the EPA felt the need to publish something about granite COUNTERTOPS, then clearly they're a hazard.

Especially if you have a shitload of it.

So granite increases skin cancer in specifically Chile by over 30% coincidentally after the oxone hole in the southern hemisphere occureD?

It's probably part of it, yeah, it could very well be a huge contributor. It damn sure isn't the sun, there are way sunnier places than Chile.

Especially given that Chile is a mountainous region.

Do you have a source for the rock compositions of Chile?

Regardless, the only solution to 'stop consuming' is 'die'.

You're not wrong, but obviously that isn't the solution

The issue with climate change and resource shortages is that the solutions are just as complex as the issues

And equally as undesirable

What was the obvious solutions?
Reduced population = less resource requirement

That creates lots of issues

aging populations, impossible to legislate world wide

Luckily world fertility is decreasing with nearly all developed nations below replacement rate

"It's probably part of it, yeah, it could very well be a huge contributor. It damn sure isn't the sun, there are way sunnier places than Chile.

The sun is radiating radiation constantly, the radiation the the ozone hole is unable to reduce is predominately UV-b in relation to skin cancer. During the polar vortex, the ozone hole in the southern hemisphere gets much much larger and tendrils of this hole pass over Chile. Some of the first health issues of ozone depletion was a surge in skin cancer of Chile.

Trying to find a video that shows it

This is the best I can find

Chile is 80% mountain range, so that means that most of the country is in the higher parts of the atmosphere, so there's less protection from the sun. A lot of them are volcanic or formerly volcanic, so there's another major contributing factor. Honestly, you're not going to find any single given factor, but the incredibly volcanic nature of it alone means that place probably causes your Geiger counter to go off.

They're more likely to live on the coast then on the top of a mountain

As if that means anything, you do realize that a mountain has a tremendous effect on the local environment, right?

It's odd that you think this is exclusively a granite issue

The hot granite radon release could have a part

I said it was probably a significant contributing factor.

But it would have been constant

Why would the skin cancer suddenly increasE?

Why specifically skin cancer and not lung cancer where these dusts and gases will enter your body?

Maybe they're doing some mining? Do you honestly think that humans are solely responsible for all of the environment's issues?

No singular factor is responsible for this. It can't be. And no amount of the west cleaning up will unfuck Asia.

That's why it's a global issue

Then talk to China and India. And good fucking luck.

But you can't just say
"Oh well those two are a bigger issue so I won't take any part in this"

You're right

I can, actually.

It's a big issue

Actually yes we can say that, because we're not the ones causing the damage

I can totally do that. Especially because people won't fucking switch to nuclear.

I agree with nuclear, it's dumb we don't want it at all
