NOAA's solar predictors are of two minds. One group has been predicting a humdinger of a solar cycle coming up any minute now ~ they've been predicting that for about 15 years.
The other group has adjusted its predictions to reflect the fact that we've had a minimum of remarkably long duration.
The guys wanting the humdinger also want you to believe we have a runaway greenhouse effect underway.

Yeah, this new cycle is going to be HUGE.
NOT. It is almost nothing and all indications point to a solar minimum, meaning few solar flares and global cooling.

‘...costing the world economy $2,000bn.’
Isn’t $2000bn the same as $2 trillion. Someone once told me you can’t lose something you never had.

Has anyone, who usually can't, seen the northern lights these past few nights b/c of the solar storms?

Strange thing is, I heard that making technology EMP proof is fairly cheap, but retrofitting the same technology is extremely expensive.
Also all it takes is one station to fail, that could cause a huge blackout like the one in 2003. Our entire electricity and technology grid is only as strong as its weakest point.

Scientists warn of $2,000bn solar ‘Katrina’
Obviously we need an IPSC at the U N funded by a global tax on all nations. The US will lead with 25% of the cost. $500bn will be allocated by the US from savings it will realise via Obamacare and the profits from GM and the national high speed railroad. /s

This thread would've been a perfect fit with the "Space Weirdness" ping list that The Comedian was maintaining. I see his account is suspended but his last few posts don't look zot-worthy.
Anyone know what transpired?

Just another case of understanding that the Sun and its activity has a major effect on our environment.
Seems to be something that scientists (global warming variety can NOT fathom)...

$2,000 billion is $2 trillion. Hell, Obama can spend that over a weekend.

I think we should be spending money right now to figure out a way to move the earth to a more distant orbit as the sun starts expanding into the red giant phase.

So I guess we should have been saving all that money wasted on global warming stuff for this more immediate and more acute danger.
