That has to do with all of the nice golden brown tans you got as a child. Sun damage is cumulative. You damaged your skin as a child, and now you are reaping what you have sown.
I didn't burn as a child just got naturally golden, and this shouldn't mean burning as an adult.
"Naturally Golden" is sun damage. Do some research.
my skin has natural olive tones and wasn't over exposed to sun, just got naturally more golden more easily.
Even incidental sun exposure can lead to skin damage. But, you don't have to take my word for it.

The instruments used to calculate luminosity are within the atmosphere. They experience the same atmosphere we do, so changes in the atmosphere are factored into the readings.
As evidenced by young and old the instruments are incorrect. I asked my son again today and he remembered the sun as being yellow when he was a child. A lot of people remember it. Instead of saying we are all blinded by the light, lol, just admit that sometimes the textbooks and instruments are wrong. Probably software trying to see luminosity and the base calculation being a off by a mile.

The average sun light measurement as far as photography is concerned is always taught as being 5,600k. When used to process photographs this creates a white balance that shows skin tones as correct if capturing outdoor portraits in a sunny environment. For over 20 years through film and digital this measurement has served me well. Since the middle 90s the spectrum has slowly changed and almost every shot needs to be post-processed to ensure a correct white balance. The fact is natural light is now magenta based, is cooler, less yellow and to eye is more "White".
What a different a week makes: Now it's out with mild March. . . and in with Arctic April as snow falls from Scotland to Devon Parts of Scotland blanketed in up to 10 inches of snow while further south, temperatures still in double figures Met Office issues weather warnings for Wales and Midlands as Arctic front moves south Hundreds of spring lambs perish on North Yorkshire Moors amid snow storms and plummeting temperatures Up to 40 vehicles 'currently stranded' on impassable A68 at Tow Law, Country Durham after wind and heavy snow caused 4ft drifts Good news for skiers as some of Scotland's resort re-open Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk...

With hosepipe bans now in effect for 20 million people in south-east England and fish being rescued as rivers dry up, the worst drought since 1976 is hitting home.

I've never been a chemtrailtard until the middle of last year. It was then from a view across my valley and daily bus and train commute to work that I realised the skies over Yorkshire are FULL of trails.
Every ten minutes, a plane or two or three will be visible from my house on certain days, so that's a lot of planes!
I get to hear them from my attic studio because they fly low. The passenger jets don't leave long trails and are silent but they fly at 64,000ft and appear to linger compared to the lower, trailers. I get to see them because I have two large Velux windows that I sit under while I use the computer.
We get three types of day here now.
1. Days when planes can be seen at sunrise towards the east, overhead at midday and in the afternoon, westerly.
2. Days when we get flat dull overcast Stratus cloud which rarely brings rain. In winter, we had some rain but less than normal. The planes can sometimes be heard flying above this cloud.
3. Days when the sky is crystal clear, or with small amounts of cloud and no planes fly.
I see all this from two cities and the vehicles in between and I'm not the only one who's noticed.
We had a crystal clear day today and the early spring sunshine felt exceptionally hot on my face and chest.
Even though the early 10 degrees rise above the horizon, the sun's heat felt like the midday sun while the air temperature was below 10 degrees celcius.
I haven't seen a cumulonimbus cloud in ages. We now have an official UK water drought.
If there is a "problem" with the sun, then I believe TPTB are already tackling, albeit unsuccessfully.

thank you for this information, I do a lot of photography and also have to correct white balance, though couldn't compare it to anything to justify it as a confirmation.

A way of understanding the changes is to set a manual white balance temperature of 5,600k on your camera then take some raw shots in the morning, at noon, mid-afternoon and the "Golden hour" about an hour before sunset. All of your captures will be needing post processed and the processing will all be about removing a magenta cast to obtain a correct white balance. This is as scientific as it gets as your not just reading the bright noon sun you are reading the sun at all times of the day. Whether this gradual light change is based on sun change or atmospheric change I cant say....But it is a fact that the light has changed..

crazy perhaps but your definately on to something I too am old enough to remember looking directly at the sun bright golden yellow circa 70's now the sun is blue white in appearance so something has changed infact my theory is the global warming is due to the sun not the amount of carbon we waste star and flag for stating the obvious
