RE: Smoking a Forest Could be Hazardous to Your Health
I would say global climate change is the main cause of the increase in forest fires. They seem to be increasing in many areas besides just where I live.
Global climate change? Let me guess, we have more bushes? bushes are now drier so they easily catch fire? Is that what you mean, cos I thought our actions, whether deliberate or accidental are the causes. I really can follow what@longberry said, including the bit about overcoming it by strict regulations.
A very pointy paragraph there. No, most people don't connect. Very many people are illiterates to even basic science and I don't mean it derogatorily. For one, I've never given a thought to pollinating insects, I had to consciously ruminate over how their disappearance would affect my food.
However, I guess researching a solution to the effects of radiation from even so-called technological advancements would fit into your list somewhere. There's been more awareness about the dangers that our devices pose to our overall health, thanks to whatsapp. To me, the technology behind mobile computers (phones, tablets etc) is so hazardous and irresponsible. I think they shouldn't have been made mobiles as it is so we won't have so much interaction with them. Very little precautions are being taken and we should sooner begin to see the results if the warnings are true.
Yup, global climate change brought about primarily through human activities imho. We have increased the carbon dioxide level above 400 parts per million. The last time this happened the world was a much different place and very inhospitable to humans. From all that I have heard and read on the subject we are heading towards a four or five degree centigrade rise in temperature and should be taking emergency steps to head off this possibility.

I agree that radiation from electronic devices would be a good thing to research more solutions to as well. My grandfather passed away from cancer that they think was caused from working around high voltage and dielectric materials (PVC) so I know this can cause issues. It would be good to find healthier solutions for using these mobile computers.
My guess is that unless we fix the climate issue soon, most of us will not be too worried about EV radiation because estimates of the carrying capacity of the earth could drop to a billion people if the temperature rises this high. The way things are going, this could happen faster than developing cancer for most of us. See this article for more on these facts: Earth risks tipping into 'hothouse' state: study
The second article read like the script of a really good thriller, I couldn't help imagining it. And it sounds like we’re moving towards an irredeemable, ticking time-tomb... Thanks for the read @lightsplasher, it sparked off some research in previously unexplored areas.
