(Firstpost) Energy-saving fluorescent lights can harm eyes, say scientists. A new research, led by the Australian National University, has warned that the global trend towards using fluorescent globes instead of incandescent ones as a strategy to beat climate change could be increasing eye disease.

The research, published in the ‘American Journal of Public Health’, has found that fluorescent lighting may cause a 12 per cent rise in UV-related eye diseases like cataracts and pterygia.

Well, it’s a small sacrifice to make to minimize the impact of AGW, so, all you Alarmists, make sure you are using fluorescent, you must take the risk to Save Us All!

Anyone ever notice that lefty solutions always seem to be worse than the original conditions? It’s like all those medicine commercials, which spend half the time telling us about all the side effects, like bleeding, ulcers, …… death.
