While some activists are in different camps, it’s interesting to contemplate the similarity between 5G and greenhouse radiation. With 5G we have millimetre-wavelength radiation that can be absorbed and emitted by some biological molecules, disturbing them without knocking off electrons (ionising them).
Similarly with greenhouse gas we have infrared wavelengths that can be absorbed and emitted by greenhouse gases thereby creating disturbance, which translates to heat in the atmosphere, also not knocking off electrons that would otherwise result in ionisation.
It’s subtly the same problem, just at different scales of wavelength, and having effects at different scales of matter, biology, and ecology… death by a thousand vibrations.
Just like nature, our preference should be to use optical wavelengths for both communication and energy production.
