Suddenly, panic over 5G—the newest generation of mobile telecommunications infrastructure—and the notion that it’s the true cause of the coronavirus pandemic seems to be everywhere. In recent days there have been suspected arson attacks on mobile phone masts in Birmingham, Liverpool and Merseyside. Celebrities have pushed the idea that 5G is harmful and linked to Covid-19. The government has been forced to address the fears, with Michael Gove branding the theories “dangerous nonsense”.

We are experiencing hot days and thunder and lightening in the evening is this a sign of climate change?

I think that was stirred up by the media, there is an argument that 5G interferes with our biology, or immune system, but there is little evidence, and very likely there never will be!

I don’t see any research to support this claim, and I personally don’t believe that the two are linked. But I am open to the idea that 5G is detrimental to our health. I guess with most technologies, only time will tell.

It may be the case, much as it is now that we have an increase in cancer, Alzheimer’s, depression, reduced fertility, etc, but we don’t know the reason why, what specific thing is driving these upward trends, it very well may not be one thing, and therefore adding further technologies, may mean we will never know if they individually are a causation factor.

I think the climate we are seeing is definitely a trend, rather than a one off event and I do believe that over the next 20-50 years we will see a climate change to the point that some areas of this planet are uninhabitable.
