This is funny you know, every year there is a new topic here that discusses that he sun is changing color it emits towards us... But i think it could be happening. I somehow feel it is much brighter then it used to be!

Has anyone else noticed how little time it takes nowadays to get sunburned?
When I was a kid, (I'm 49 years old now), I could spend an entire summer day playing baseball and basketball and never get sunburned. Mind you we didn't know what the hell "sunscreen" was or what the devil SPF meant.
Today I can get sunburned in no time whatsoever. It's not just me either. Whenever I tell someone this they tend to reply "yeah, I know what you mean...it happens to me too!".
Looking forward to more member replies. Great thread. S&F!

I think you'll find that simply being outside in winter, through spring and into summer prepares your skin and makes you more tolerant. However we do not go outside as much as we did. We spend far far more time in front of Tv's, Computers and behind the wheel of a car. As far as kids are concerned (here in UK) the fear of abduction factor has kept kids at home as well as computers 24 hr TV etc. When I was a kid the TV didn't really start until 5pm! and I used to go out ALL DAY playing in the woods, soccer etc.
Lifestyle changes is the cause not a change in the sun!
All broadcasts follow Red Green Blue frequencies. Whoops. Not now. They phased that out. We went digital. Television screens use Red Blue Green to make all colors through triangulation, and we’re all using different screens now. Flat screens, LCD, etc. In the UK, they want to put radio on digital waves as well.
oh and you can thank all of the pot growers for pioneering this research.
