“cancer was quite rare 100 years ago”
You have a source for that?
The ‘1-in-3’ cancer rates we labour under are predominantly a function of our increased longetivity - sure, people probably died of cancer less a hundred years ago, but only because they dies of something far more prosaic 30 years before they'd've gotten cancer...
Don't forget - ‘Cancer’ is a hugely broad spectrum term and many cancers found in old age are simply an increasingly statistical likelihood of DNA unravelling and unable to sustain itself.
Google telomeres, then YouTube 'cloud chamber' to see a neatly-described image of how totally at the whim of universal radiation we are anyway, regardless of human meddling.

also just look at rates of ADHD in europe compare to US, or autism, everything is linked to our diet, which is a lot diverse than it was 100 years agoGeorgesIV - our diet, which is a lot diverse than it was 100 years ago,GeorgesIV

@ mono,
I just picked the first thing I found, there are tons of research out there that proves that the rate of cancer skyrocketed in the last 50 years,
I do not have the time to look them up because I'm busy right now, I never said cancer didn't exist before, just that the rate of it is a lot more that it was 100 years ago, but if you want to know more just google it, wiki it, look into the cancer industry or hemp oil,
I'm not here to change anyone's mind. I'm building my ark and couldn't care less what everyone point of view is about anything right now,
sorry to be blunt but we're sleep working into hell and being right on the internet won't change the course we're onso yeah, have a nice day mate :)

Did I read correctly that Tokyo might have to be abandoned if radiation pollutes the aquifer?

Cancer rates absolutely are higher now than they were a long time ago. I'm sure there's some sliding scale they is somewhat proportionate to population growth, but think of all the causes of cancer that exist now that didn't before: cell phones, deodorant, radiation exposure, etc. I'm sure the list is extensive.

I also just realized this is an interview with a person who's knowledge or credentials are unknown. She has an online radio program, but I don't see any scholarly articles or research she's been a part of.

so how long do we have?
I'm actually scared at the extremely complex and difficult manual process that has to be repeated 1300x without incidents...fuck
