I will
answer the question. The problem of an
huge population entering unhealthy old years, whilst there are no good jobs for millennial to “support” the old people, has been solved. Enter 2 cycles of Grand Minimum, and we get
disease, poor crop production, bad economics.

Subject: Cosmic rays and mortality connected
Here’s a study showing positive correlation
between mortality and global cosmic rays. See Table 1 by going to site.
Note the significant differentials in mortality in those 75 years and above.
Death is far more likely in aged people in periods of high cosmic ray
exposure.
With regard
to exposure from Fukushima’s ongoing releases, we can assume they are additive
to the Universe’s contributions. Who will answer if the combined exposures
enhance our development or foreclose it?

Long-term
association between the intensity of cosmic rays and mortality rates in the
city of Sao Paulo
The Earth's atmosphere is constantly bombarded by a
variety of sources of extra-terrestrial ionizing radiation, such as galactic
cosmic rays (GCRs).
Observations have shown that many large short-term increases in the GCR flux
from nearby supernovae are strongly associated with the cooling of the Earth's
climate and biodiversity crises over the past million years. It is well known that chronic
exposure to GCRs at high altitudes is strongly associated with cancer, e.g.
leukemia in aircraft crew and astronauts. Additionally,
there is evidence connecting exposure to secondary background GCRs with
increased occurrence of cancer, myocardial infarction, congenital anomalies,
and mortality rates.
During epochs of solar minima (when CRII
is high), there was a significant increase in the mean mortality rates (p < 0.05)
for the diseases listed below (table 1).
The correlation between CRII and all causes of death in women were
significantly higher than in men and children, excluding perinatal mortality
rates.

variance between periods of solar minima and solar maxima by standardized age
ranges in Sao Paulo citya.
The collisions
between primary GCRs and atmospheric gas molecules result in a cascade of
chemical and physical reactions producing secondary cosmic rays, which
penetrate the Earth's surface and underground layers. All of these
processes result in atmospheric air ionization, which has been associated with
atmospheric electricity, cloudiness, and climate, all affecting human health.
Human beings are
continuously exposed to many kinds of environmental agents, e.g. radiation and
air pollution, which can affect their behavior, health outcomes and lifespan.
Historically, GCRs have posed a threat during Earth's mass extinctions where
they are accompanied by high rates of mutations over geological time scales. Except
during catastrophic geological periods, regular 11 year and 22 year solar
cycles modulate the penetration of GCRs, which does not usually vary much from
one cycle to another. Nevertheless, the health impact of long-term
exposure to local GCRs during regular solar cycles awaits clarification, while
it may have been silently driving genetic evolution throughout human history on
Earth.
Both direct and indirect effects of radiation trigger a
series of biochemical signals with associated cascades of molecular events that
may repair the damage or, if permanent physiological changes remain, lead to
cellular death.
Juckett observed that human
longevity and mortality by cancer exhibited regular and highly synchronous
variations with the background fluxes of CR neutrons. He hypothesized that
ancestral generations of a newborn child could have accumulated CR
neutron-induced epigenetic markers, carrying an inappropriate epigenetic
imprint characterized by a higher individual predisposition to cancer, when
exposed to other environmental agents that cause genetic mutations. Moreover,
the fetal brain reaches its maximum vulnerability between the eighth to
fifteenth week after fertilization when exposed to low-level ionizing
radiation. Indeed, hemopoietic stem cells of mammals are highly sensitive to
exposure to low-level ionizing radiation, which induces cellular damage that
particularly affects the hemopoietic cell renewal systems, impairing
immunoinflammatory activity and other physiological functions.
Genetic mutations may be also induced by
CRII in microorganisms spread out in the environment, temporarily
re-introducing 'new' pathogens in the population and causing an increase in
mortality from infectious diseases in periods of higher secondary GCR
exposition. Host–parasite dynamics have a
great potential to evolve and adapt to persistent unfavorable environmental
conditions, reverting high mutation rates into an increase of their
pathogenicity. One of the most interesting findings regarding this issue is
that exposure to very low-dose ionizing radiation can prompt a survival
response in bacterial cells when subsequently undergoing potentially lethal
damage, acting as an adaptive dose.
According to an original report by
Parikka, low dose radiation treatment is able to reactivate latent
tuberculosis in infected zebrafish. Moreover, cycles of re/emergent
infectious diseases have been linked to the evolution of the human immune
system, improving the host defense and decreasing their susceptibility to new
episodes of infectious diseases. This mechanism could justify the normalization
of infectious disease mortality rates in the subsequent regular peaks of
CRII.
Another hypothesis that may elucidate
the association between GCRs and infectious disease mortality is the effects of
GCRs on climatic variations, which may affect the incidence of infectious
diseases. Climate change and infectious diseases have been strongly correlated,
and these periods have been identified as the period when re/emergent
microorganisms are reintroduced into societies. Moreover, the association between
CRII and mortality rates may also be reflecting other primary or secondary
processes, such as those related to GCRs and atmospheric aerosol dynamics and
cloudiness, GCRs and the global electrical circuit e.g. Schumann resonance,
and/or another unknown GCR mechanisms in the lower troposphere.
The biosphere is indeed a proper region
to convert GCRs into many active energy forms, such as electrical, chemical,
mechanical, and thermal, which may affect human health through yet unknown
mechanisms.
