    Not a valid concern, palaeopathology has confirmed that cancer was exceedingly rare in primates until the start of the industrial revolution. Progress gives you cancer, not cosmic rays.

    utter rubbish, homo erectus lived through a few reversals just fine. There is no evidence whatsoever of reversal causing any kind of extinction, nor is the geomagnetic field the only thing that shields Earth from cosmic radiation. The solar wind interacts with the ionosphere to provide additional shielding, and that isn't going away.

    that's great, murders and rapes and crimes against humanity can just be ignored: they didn't happen, it never happened.

    And no one needs to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions, we'll just sweep it all under the rug.

    Of course I'm being sarcastic, such a philosophy would allow the world to become even more evil than it is now. Already we have bankers and mega-corporations financing both sides of war, and enslaving and maiming and murdering to line their pockets and increase their power.

    those are cool, remember though that geigers are for prospecting or for testing for contamination after being in rad area - radioactive dirt and dust. Tens of thousands of counts per minute, in other words some might go to 10K cpm which is very roughly 100 mR / hour. For the heavy levels, like nuclear accident or The Day After, the survey meters work on a different principle. Those are the ones that can go to 500 Rem / Hour or more, that level for about an hour would give you lethal dose without "heroic medical intervention", as they say.

    in practice, there's a problem with alphas, which have to be energetic enough to penetrate the tube walls. They're best at beta detection, while gammas have low efficiency as most will just zip through undetected. For "indirectly ionizing" radiation, neutron fields, one has to have a usually large volume of material that will produce ionizing radiation when neutron interacts. For example, a few tens of centimeters diameter ball of plastic and scintillating material which works by proton recoiling from neutron hit and making a flash.

    blaming the water? aw cmon, how do you explain the thin people in your area. Eat a good diet of mostly vegetables and fruit, with rice or potatoes without the butter or sour cream, with six ounces or less of lean meat a day, and get off the workstation chair and start walking, adding a little distance each day, get to two miles or more a day. Then add some of those exercises we all learned in school PE, jumping jacks and pushups and such.
