You nailed it. The atmosphere is awash in electromagnetic waves, many of them far stronger than the average wifi signal. One such instance is that yellow glowy thing in the sky.

Thanks for posting this. This is good blog material. BTW: Are you still doing your blog? PM or post the link. I seem to have lost it.

On edit: Wouldn't you know the guy is a conspiracy theorist too.
Microwaving Our Planet
Cellular Assault

by Arthur Firstenberg
In February of last year, only five senators and 16 representatives voted "no" on the Telecommunications Act of 1996. We have, consequently, hundreds of new satellites competing for space in our crowded skies, hundreds of thousands of new communication towers sprouting up in our midst and the uncontrolled proliferation of wireless broadcasts. This amounts to an electromagnetic war on life from which there soon will be no place to hide. ...

Frey warned of "a small group of scientists controlling the setting of health hazard standards, controlling what research bearing on that standard gets funded or published, while providing testimony for various companies and government agencies to the effect that substantial microwave energy exposure is safe."

This "small group of scientists" was made up of engineers and veterinarians, not doctors, biologists or epidemiologists. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) — the agency that was (and still is) setting microwave exposure standards — is not a government agency but a private organization funded and controlled by industry.

He also claims he was unable to finish his education because of dental x-rays.
Arthur Firstenberg (born c. 1951) is an American author and activist in the field of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. He is the author of Microwaving Our Planet: The Environmental Impact of the Wireless Revolution (1997) and founder of the Cellular Phone Taskforce.<1>

Arthur received a B.A. in mathematics from Cornell University in 1971 and continued into medical school between 1978 and 1982. He claims that he was unable to continue his schooling due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity, which he attributes to diagnostic dental x-rays.<1>

Since the onset of his illness, he has argued in numerous publications that there exists a massive and world-wide conspiracy, in which "the telecommunications industry has suppressed damaging evidence about its technology since at least 1927."<2> The World Health Organization maintains, "no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects."<3>

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? — Epicurus (341–270 B.C.), Greek philosopher
