Seems there's actually some debate on the net benefit/risk of this exposure [0]. Yes it raises risks for certain skin cancers but the survival rate of these is very high, meanwhile exposure decreases a collection of other risks whose death rates are much higher.
So I think the right course of action is a little more nuanced than simply saying, "UV increases skin cancer risk therefore ignore everything else as well as magnitudes of net risks/benefits". Should we not weigh all factors?
