Mac, for the first part of the 20th century, people wore hats and kept sun off skin. Then, it became all the rage to sun bathe because Vitamin D [and other vitamins] were discovered as essential to life and as with so many things, people went over board.

I was brought up to think that sun was good. We had a huge beach culture. Sure, we knew not to burn. But babies were put out in the sun and people stopped wearing hats and spent hours lying in the sun getting a "healthy tan".

Now, half a century later, Caucasian baby-boomers are having pieces of skin removed en masse because their melanin deficient skin couldn't take the heat [being designed for the sunless north of Europe].

The problem wasn't ozone depletion, which is no worry. I am not surprised you are confused. Racists are. Sexists too. [The two are the same = paucity of thinking]. The problem was sun culture. Africans can take it - their skin is designed for it.

Plants like ultraviolet light, so with all the CO2 now available too, plants are growing like crazy.
