I'm going to politely call bullhicky on this statement. Sunburns have existed for much longer than 100 years - in fact, the first modern/commercial sunscreen was invented almost 100 years ago. Cursory searching shows that Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc had different methods of attempting sunscreen. Is the sun worse now than then? Maybe, probably. But it's borderline alarmist to just declare sunburns are a recent phenomena.
