What Should you Do?

I was thinking about this as I woke up this morning.

About how people are facing different crises than they used to.

For example, when I was growing up people didn't get skin cancer (a melanoma) and die by 30 like is possible to do now if you have white skin if you sun bathe too much on the beach for example in California or Florida or Hawaii. This came as a result of a weakening magnetosphere since around 2000 or so.

So, even our magnetosphere doesn't protect our skin or our retinas (eyes) from radiation like it used to from the sun and cosmic rays. And this likely will only get worse until people likely have to wear goggles and eye and face protection over time. And any birds or animals likely will be blind at that point before they get very old. Hopefully they will be able to breed and raise young successfully before that happens or you are going to see even more mass extinctions here on earth than we see now.

Knowing all this is helpful to prepare for the future and to keep your eyesight and not die from melanomas too all over the world right now.

Then we are dealing with major weather changes (like the north pole melting out completely this December) which I don't think has happened in the history of mankind before.

Then there are much warmer places and much colder places than normal in very unusual places all over the earth. But, generally speaking it is much warmer than it has ever been in the history of humankind here on earth right now.

So, what should people do?

Mostly I think just keep your eyes open and read weather reports. I think a weather report of just how much radiation that day is hitting earth might be helpful to keep people from getting Melanomas on their eye retinas and to help people know when they have to put sunglasses on.

By the way one strange thing where I live is there is actually more skin cancer often in cloudy places like the San Francisco area than where there is direct sun all the time. The reason for this that when you have direct sunlight you know you are being hit and can feel the heat. Whereas when you are in a cloudy place you are still being hit with radiation that can cause skin cancer but are less aware of it. Because you are being hit through the clouds.

So, this is why there is actually more skin cancer in areas where it is cloudy than where it is sunny all the time.

So, if you see strange things on your skin or your eyes hurt especially in the backs of your retinas see your dermatologist or an eye specialist to make sure you don't have a retina melanoma like President Jimmy Carter did.

One way I deal with this is I often wear sunglasses here in California even on Cloudy days. You just don't want the really dark sunglasses on a cloudy day. However, if you have been out of the sun a lot sometimes having some sun helps the vitamin D level in your body too, so it's all a balance that each of us have to find.
