UV rays obscenely high in United States? CFCs?

Hello Ameribrahs,

I've been reviewing the UV rays for various major cities such as Detroit, Houston, Atlanta and they are ridiculously high. ~10.

https://www.theweathernetwork.com/us...chigan/detroit

Many American cities, including the ones far away from the equator have abnormally high UV levels and I very much suspect that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are being used in or near the country. I know some Chinese countries have a record for using these ozone-depleting substances but I wonder whether they have recommenced using or selling them. And if sold would that include American companies? Could these companies be using CFC-containing products such as refrigerants or spray insulating foam?

My advice is to screen up and bring some shades with you, perhaps alert your governments to crack down on these substances by investigating construction sites or whatever.

This is no joke and hundreds of millions of people, crops could be affected by this. It is also becoming a global pandemic affecting most of Asia and parts of Africa.

Just letting you know.

No amount of CFCs can override the sun's rays. We are going from a solar maximum to a solar minimum and UV-C rays are a symptom of that transition.

No, I'm fairly certain there are CFCs circulating in America's skies and stratospheres. Why does Detroit have the same UV level of Houston in spite of the proximity difference to the sun?

Why does Seattle have a very low UV of 1 but Detroit on the same level has 10? There ARE CFCs right now and they need to be stopped.

No, because even Detroit high up has a very high UV. This is due to something artificial such as ozone-depleting substances.

Thanks for your input OP

I’ll forward these concerns to the CFC institute of America and get to the bottom of this

You’re a hero OP

Big advocate for shades. UVA/B is the primary cause of cataracts. Unfortunately 90% of UV damage to your lens is already done by the time you hit age 18 assuming minimal sunglasses use, but preventing that 10% could be the difference between developing cataracts at 50 and developing them at 80

Today, Orlando has a UV of 11 which is very high
https://www.theweathernetwork.com/us...lorida/orlando

Even cities in Texas, Georgia, Michigan are very high (9-10). If there is major construction happening then perhaps the spray insulating foams could be the cause of the CFC emissions, but the government may unfortunately have to crack down on these even if the companies lose money. In the long run the country and its citizens will save billions by not having to deal with climate change and other harmful issues associated with CFCs.

Blacks and Asians are the two races with the lowest skin cancer rates.

What's special about the Asians though, is that we arn't black but can still withstand harmful UVs.

We're called Golden Bulls for a reason.

It’s also June in the middle of a heatwave. UV rays are always 8-10 this time of year.

Seems to me is the UV's are being dramatically affected by the CFC's shouldn't that be kicked up to the CDC or EPA? Forget about the FBI and DEA seeing how they are so compromised at this point the situation has literally become FUBAR. The more i read about this BS i feel I need a little R&R.

Detroit is at the same latitude as Barcelona. It's not as far north as you think. Houston is the latitude as Lebanon

Even African countries near the equator do not have such high uv levels.

No, CFCs are legit 5000 times more potent than carbon dioxide. CFCs can damage the ozone in seconds, which results in clouds getting vaporized and then they quickly travel the globe.

I get sunburned in about half the time it took a decade ago

I noticed people's lawns including mine are getting more and more burnt each year

Feels like when I step outside and there’s direct sunlight (no cloud cover) I’m in a legit microwave. I can feel the UV rays going through my skin and unraveling my DNA and cooking my flesh

Now I just want to stay inside if it’s not cloudy

I don’t remember it being like this when I was a kid

Yeah that's the UV-C rays, sht just gets hot easier. You might notice the sun is "whiter" (inb4 raciss) now more than it was yellow before.

So you just believe everything they say?

When I was a kid, my entire generation was told that hairspray caused a hole in the "ozone" which was leading to harmful UV and aiding towards global warming. They made extremely angry and combative towards my mother for using hairspray. Not even joking.

Next the water levels will raise and florida will be under water!

Whatever they’re spraying from the planes is magnifying the UV rats srs.

Next time you look up and see chemtrails following a lane for miles or a cross cross in the sky take note.

I bet you $1 that the next day it will:

A) rain hard

B) sun will be COOKING, but the sky will be hazy af


very srs. They sprayed over the lake in TN for 2-3 days, 4th day it felt like the sun was 10ft away srs

We are literally 2 days removed from the strongest UV days in the northern hemisphere. It’s also very hot out because it’s summer and it snows more in the winter.

Maybe the sun is changing? I’m hearing that’s it’s whiter than it used to be as opposed to yellow with less sun spots and prominences.

Yea that's pretty much what it is. Grand solar minimum. It goes through cycles. In the past centuries there have been times when it was much hotter on average than now. Usually it creates harsher weather periods. So more droughts, hotter summers, colder winters, more snow, more storms, more hurricanes/strong hurricanes, etc. Nothing unusual over time, but the thought is this might be a longer cycle grand solar minimum. That usually causes a lot of havoc in the world.

This isn't the "ozone" layer being destroyed from chemicals and us causing global warming. That's used to emotionally manipulate people into thinking they need government control to make sure we aren't causing environmental harm, and then that's when you get things like wind energy, veganism, and actual destruction of nature. They are manufacturing this "climate change" initiative to destroy nature unintendedly.

As someone said above too is that they are spraying **** in the sky constantly, and we don't know yet what exactly the effects are. It could exacerbate things or not. It could cause rain or not. That is quite weird though.
