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.
The March 1989 solar storm shorted out the Quebec power grid for 9 hrs. 9 days would be testing the veneer of civility.
Good point.
A much more serious issue than Global Warming and likely to happen within next 200 years.
1859, hmmm. Way before my time!
However, I was radio-operator from 1947 to 1981 in the Merchant Marine and on weather stations in Greenland one time 400 miles from the North Pole!!
The majority of radio communications was on short waves. We were constantly advised of Sun-Spots interfering on our effectiveness or ineffectiveness on successful radio contacts, good or impossible some times depending on our positions and clock time. Bottom line NOTHING we would be special upset by as being part of our jobs!!!
Still remember Y2K we were told ships could not sail or aircrafts fly, ROTLMSO!!!
