Based on the tilt of the Earth, geographic latitude of ireland and here, I estimate Ireland gets about 25% of direct solar UV and we get about 95% here. He's probably safer in Ireland.
The theory is that humans evolved in Africa with dark skin and as we moved further away from the equator with less sunlight, natural selection favoured lighter skin as it absorbs vitamin D better than dark skin does.Based on the tilt of the Earth, geographic latitude of ireland and here, I estimate Ireland gets about 25% of direct solar UV and we get about 95% here.

Add in the lack of ozone layer.Based on the tilt of the Earth, geographic latitude of ireland and here, I estimate Ireland gets about 25% of direct solar UV and we get about 95% here. He's probably safer in Ireland.

Actually, ozone layer is one of the things humans have fixed ... smallest it's been apparently.
I still think he's safer back in Ireland.
Safer, but not without risk.Actually, ozone layer is one of the things humans have fixed ... smallest it's been apparently.

China and the US are the main problem and they carry much more weight than even the fossil fuel industry.It is interesting how relatively easy it was to get the world to take action on the ozone hole compared to climate change, though. Didn't see a lot of ozone hole denial going on. I guess the chlorofluorocarbon industries didn't have the financial weight to throw around that the fossil fuels do
We shouldn't have sent soldiers to WW1 or WW2 then either...per capita, we wouldn't have done anything.
Far from it, we should everything we can including limiting coal. But if we want to save the world, then China and the US are the key and the numbers show that, and they basically don't give a stuff. A small example - as tragic as Kobe Bryant's death is, especially for his daughter and the other kids, why do you need a (high risk) helicopter ride to get to a child's basketball game FFS? And I don't care how many carbon offsets these celebrities pay, its entirely the wrong message too.
The obvious difference is that there was a relatively cheap and comparable substitute available for cfc.It is interesting how relatively easy it was to get the world to take action on the ozone hole compared to climate change, though.

CFC’s were damaging the ozone layer nothing to do with co2 from coal.Not according to the Prime Minister. Nothing wrong with coal
I expect it will just be purchased from somewhere else. We lose but no one wins still except our competition.
Exactly, it’s not the thread for it, but if we stop the supply do we honestly expect the demand to drop? That’s deluded thinking and the only reason to support stopping is to feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Demand doesn't stop but supply does...price goes up, peeps look for alternatives
Can you imagine Sam Manure if he decides to stay with GaelicMcShane and Harte set for formal talks
Tyrone All Star Cathal McShane is to have formal talks with county manager Mickey Harte this weekend as he considers his Tyrone future.
If this is accurate we are keen, decision imminent
How long till that happens? What if the suppliers think let’s keep prices stagnant so they don’t look for alternatives?
Then there are power outages...and people look for alternatives.
Why would there be power outages? We are talking about countries who rely on coal for their power needs and sourcing that coal. If we stop they will get it from somewhere. If the supplier keeps their prices realistic life will go on whilst Australia suffers so people can feel good.
