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 agree with nuclear, it's dumb we don't want it at all
Nuclear generators are not nuclear warheads
Right, so
Why do climatologists not propose more nuclear then?
Why do they not tell Germany to stop dismantling them?
Probably because they're in somebody's pocket or ideologically predisposed to dislike nuclear energy.
I can tell you why, it's because it's dogmatic
Probably coal energy
They know it's better and safer after looking at the numbers, they have an incentive not to speak up about it
That incentive is financial and political
My uncle works in the environmental sector, he has studied these things
He has worked on a windmill concept that was rejected
When I addressed the issue of nuclear and I said that I think it might be a solution
He didn't say a word, and I was surprised, because I thought he would argue against it
1-2 years later I know why he didn't
That said, I don't see the issue with continuing to use carbon production if it means we can convert it using capture systems, but we'd have to get California to stop shitting in the streets, and that's asking too much.
Plastic straw bans are the solution now for real
How can anyone even come up with this
You know that plastic isn't biodegradable right?
