I AM intrigued that people are concerned about the siting of microwave transmitters near their homes.

They don't seem to realise that they are being bombarded by microwaves from mobile phones 24 hours a day, no matter where they are.

It has even been suggested that the vast number of microwave transmitters is, in fact, responsible for the climatic changes that are happening. We could be turning the Earth into a giant microwave oven.

As an experiment, could I suggest that for a period of one month everybody be made to turn off his or her mobile phones and see if the weather improves?

Even if no climate improvement takes place, the rest of us would have a month's peace and quiet from these sad people.
