Still, it's a point -- the Sun *can* be bad for the environment, if it's pouring too much UV into an environment entirely evolved around having less, but I'm sure the environment would quickly adjust to the change. Unlike humans. Seriously, light-skinned people should NOT be this close to the Equator! Or perhaps it's just me and my CON 5. Miss you guys very much!
