What if we don't have any influence on this and we are just very sensitive to electromagnetic radiation?
All the radio towers etc. have increased electrosmog over the last decades.
Even the magnetic field of the earth is getting weaker every year, letting all kinds of radiation come through from outside the planet.
Read the articles "Swarm probes weakening of Earth’s magnetic field" from ESA and "New Study Shows How Rapidly Earth's Magnetic Field Is Changing" from ScienceAlert.
Also the phenomenon of PATM doesn't seem to be older than 2 decades.
