Trains will be disrupted, power will go out, satellite signals will go wonky - that’s what we have to look forward to when the sun next has a melt down, and we’re unlikely to get more than 12 hours warning.

In a new government document, the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills has laid out its Space Weather Preparedness Strategy, outlining the risks of unsettled space weather as well as what it plans to do about them.

Which is more warning than we'd get from an asteroid impact...

Sounds like an episode from The Outer Limits.

Inconstant Moon

A pretty good episode, actually.

THE CARRINGTON EFFECT will turn the earth back to the stone age.

The electron will be our undoing.

We could avoid this if we’d just come to terms with global warming.

Which is more warning than we'd get from an asteroid impact

or a massive quake....

or a super caldera volcanic eruption.

Actually the people who study the sun have some solid numbers showing the sun entering a Solar minimum. Not unheard of and has happened before. It could cause a little ice age.

You have to wonder what Al Global Warming Gore will do for a living if that should happen. ;-)

Y2K hysteria all over again promoted by among alBore laughing all his way to bank with your money

Same as now. Whipping up unreasonable fervor by lying to the great unwashed and the uneducated masses. No different than Jimmy Swaggert, Jim Bakker or Benny Hinn.

Please enlighten us about your thoughts on the solar storm of 1859, also known as the Carrington event? I am very interested to hear you thoughts on it.

One of the scariest movies EVER ... until the last 10 minutes.

The way the Weather Channel freaks out over a four-inch snowfall, I can scarcely imagine.

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
