Skin cancer is on the rise. Could climate change be to blame?
Skin cancer cases in the United States more than tripled from 1975 to 2021, despite technological advances in sunscreens and public awareness of the risks of sun exposure. In Canada, melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer — increased by 17% in 2024 alone.
How can this be?
It’s likely caused by a combination of factors, but some studies suggest that the increasing temperatures due to climate change and intensifying ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure resulting from air pollution could be contributing to the problem.
“Suggest.” So, they don’t know. They’re just making sh*t up in order to scaremonger. And get more funding, of course.
“The ozone layer acts as a broad-brimmed hat for the Earth,” explains Eva Rawlings Parker, MD, an assistant professor of dermatology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, who specializes in climate change-related skin diseases. “It blocks UV radiation, and it’s been degraded by chlorofluorocarbons. The manufacturing [of these compounds] is restricted now, but they’re very long-lived and act as potent greenhouse gases. What we’re now seeing are synergistic effects of three environmental impacts: increased UV, air pollution, and heat.”
But, the ozone layer has gotten much better since the Montreal Protocol, so, maybe it is something else? Thing is, they do not really know, beyond knowing that UV radiation is a main cause. Heat? There are no studies that specifically say “yes, that makes it worse” beyond people being outside more. And a 1.7F increase in global temperatures since 1850 is no big deal. Perhaps in the liberal urban areas with artificially inflated temperatures, ie, UHI? Yes, some air pollution. Maybe we should focus on real things
The popularity of indoor tanning has also taken a toll. Women under age 30 who use tanning beds are six times more likely to develop melanoma than those who don’t, notes the AAD.
And the kiddies, particularly young women, are using tanning beds a lot in order to look good for their social media, even though they tend to use way too much makeup which covers that tan.

Is this like some kind of contest, Rimjob?
Yes, so California has more violent crime than NC, as said
Mr alias mentioned homicide rates. Your response was about violent crime. See how you clumsily changed the subject?
Alaska, New Mexico, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana all have violent crime rates greater than California! Thirty (30) U.S. states have LOWER violent crime rates than North Carolina.
Alaska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming love to rape.
Teachs beloved “Alligator Alcatraz slated to close after 10 months. It cost about 500 million to build and 1 million per day to run
Kiss that money goodbye ????
Ah,but look at the benefits. So many illegals sent homeward bound. T’was a beautiful thing.
The daily cost to hold detainees there was $245 per day. $7500 per month
40% had zero criminal background. Probably that Home Depot day laborer crowd.
Tc posts indicate a deeply unhappy man who enjoys the suffering of others
Johnny-No criminal background except for allegedly being here illegally, right?
Presence in the U.S. without permission is not a crime.
So why won’t the Rethuglicun president, Senate, House, Supreme Court change the law, making it an actual crime?
Krazy Donny considers Hispanic immigration to be the third most serious threat to the nation (after his Ballroom and the Reflecting Pool)! Prosecuting Comey (and other critics) is #4.
Teach is constantly showing his hate for “yours” even female yours.
Less than 4% of American use tanning beds.
20% of Americans develope skin cancer.
By far surfers develops skin cancers especially on the gave than people who use tanning beds.
One study found surfers had 40 times greater likely hood than the general population
Is that fear at the heart of this post ?
Smokers also have 40% higher risk of skin cancer
Yes, I know what I wrote, but thanks. I was simply stating a fact about violent crime in NC and California, as in let’s look at the bigger picture in regards to crime. California wins again…
