Correlation is not causation. There has been no conclusive link between EM radiation and human ailments other than hysteria. We creatures have throughout history been bombarded with intense radio activity from outer space (such as the emissions from the crab nebula), and we are still alive and plentiful.

Quit it with the fear mongering while ahead.

Upvoted despite the personal attack. Can we keep it civil ? I don't think I was fear mongering, I just said what was reported over there.

It wasn't intended to be a personal attack and I do apologise for that, but I do get bothered when I see baseless accusations that non-ionising radiation is going to kill us all. Of course with enough intensity it could cause problems, but there are sources of high-powered EM radiation that bombard us every day that are from natural sources.

We won't be dying from this stuff any time soon.

If radiations are strong enough that you can feel the heat, it means that your are cooking.
