New Zealand has world's worst rate for invasive melanomas, overtaking Australia - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

That's just the lack of awareness of yesteryear. It's not a problem with awareness.

Coruna is windier and cloudier in winter, so warmer maximums would be expected.

Rotterdam is slightly cooler, and has less sun/more rain days during summer than Nelson, yet gets a B+ compared to Nelson's C-. Do you prefer the cooler, cloudier summers?

Rotterdam is a D- climate for me but the non-existing bias for being my hometown makes it a B+ XDD

Nelson, NZ has a much better climate than Rotterdam. Specially the winters and sunshine... Nelson is in the C/C-. I voted C anyways.

Is it a problem with awareness or not? Your comment seems confusing.

Joe , i feel safe sunbathing here long hours but would be very wary in NZ - so i couldn't enjoy the plentiful sunshine

Older generations didn't grow up with the sun safe message. Younger generations do.

There's always sun block.

Why do you sunbath? I never have -not because of UV , but because the sensation of the sun isn't a good one much of the time.

Do you only enjoy sunshine when sunbathing?

That study puts much of the blame on schools and parents, so it's clearly not a problem limited to the older generations.

It pretty much is. Rates are expected to drop by a large margin.

Any problems with younger folks, are down to choice.

So the high UV levels are a completely irrelevant factor?

Irrelevant to what?
