The term "microwaves" can indeed refer to two different things: electromagnetic radiation used for communication (such as cell phone and data signals) and the electromagnetic radiation used in microwave ovens for cooking. However, despite sharing the same name, they are used in very different ways and have vastly different power levels.
Cell Phone and Data Signals: Microwaves used for cell phone and data signals are a form of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation. They operate at much lower power levels than what you would find in a microwave oven. Cell phone towers and other communication infrastructure emit microwaves to carry signals for voice, text messages, and data between your mobile device and the network. These signals are regulated by government agencies to ensure they adhere to safety guidelines, and exposure levels are kept well below any harmful thresholds. There is no evidence to suggest that these communication signals are "cooking" the planet or causing significant harm to the environment.
Microwave Ovens: Microwave ovens, on the other hand, use much higher power levels of microwave radiation to cook food. These ovens emit microwaves at a specific frequency that is absorbed by water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. The ovens are carefully designed with safety features to prevent leakage of microwaves and to ensure they are contained within the cooking chamber. When used according to the manufacturer's instructions, microwave ovens are considered safe for cooking food.
In summary, the microwaves used for communication purposes (cell phones, data, etc.) are different from the microwaves used in ovens. The power levels of communication microwaves are relatively low and are regulated to ensure safety. There is no evidence to suggest that the use of microwaves for communication is causing harm to the planet or the environment. As with any technology, safety standards are put in place to protect both human health and the environment.
