How about this side effect of RFI/EMI ?

My neighbor works for the Fed Bureau of Land Management- he is a geologist, climatologist and a few other things.

We were discussing climate change, and he suggested one of the biggest possible factors that can influence our climate is excessive RFI/EMI radiation. I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.

So all of that noise that affects reception may also affect our climate. The modern computer age started about 25yrs ago, and has expanded exponentially since. Think about how many connected devices we use on a daily basis, in addition to audio equipment with noisy switch mode power supplies ? As I type this on my laptop, I have the LCD screen on, and I am switching between a NCAA game (cable box) and a baseball game (Roku/ wifi). My cell phone is within arms reach. All of it emits noise. Some say the EMI/RFI can induce cancers and tumors. If correct, we should start to see evidence data over the next few years (from long term exposure). The anti fossil fuel crowd wants all of us to change our lifestyles. What if RFI/EMI is actually a bigger factor ? I wonder how many in the anti fossil fuel crowd are willing to shut down their computers and cell phones ?

Something to think about.
