“WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Class-action lawsuits against wireless telephone providers and manufacturers over radiation emissions will be able to go forward, after the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal by the companies. The high court rejected hearing an appeal by companies like Nokia and Cingular Wireless challenging a decision by a U.S. appeals court that reinstated the lawsuits that argued manufacturers knew about and hid the risks of radiation emissions wireless phones posed to users.

We Say: This is a subject, that much like (here it comes) global warming, is so polarizing that it can become a very contentious item of discussion. Cellular phones are so pervasive in society that there’s no way they are going away. But human beings have not had to deal with all the electromagnetic radiation we now have for very long so can we be certain we are “resistant” as we are with many viruses and bacteria?
