In the children’s story, Hansel & Gretel, the two kids almost get cooked in a stove by an evil woman — so when I read the story about schools getting too hot, but the authors blaming it on global warming, I had to question their inference. Kids today get “cooked” by being soaked in electro-magnetic radiation.
Instead of blaming “climate change” for the need to update schools with new or strong AC units, researchers should ask if we are over-dosing kids with radiation in schools. In one study in Greece, the mean electric field strength exposure was 60 volts per meter (V/m), which converts from the magnetic flux density of 0.2 microTesla:
Even half of that value would have already been too high for kids to be exposed to.
It’s no wonder that schools are having to shut down on hot days now, when that didn’t use to be the case before. But it is not for the reason that the researchers propose (climate change). Kids in schools are getting “over-dosed” with electromagnetic radiation.
