Ghost to Ghost.. LOL. The last time I heard Dames, I think I was scrounging around YouTube. He was making end of the world predictions. I liked him 20 years ago teaching RV.

Forecasters and operators at the agency are keeping a close eye as the sun enters a phase of activity that may cause severe disruption of global power grids, airline communication, military satellites and even GPS applications on mobile phones and cars.
Here's the really funny thing: Solar Maximum 24 over the coming decade is supposed to be much weaker compared to the immediately preceding solar maximum.
It's believed that three lines of evidence indicate that Solar Maximum 25 may be delayed or not even happen at all.
Excerpts from
THIS SITE. Check it out for all the charts and graphs:
The first line of evidence is a slowing of a plasma flow inside the Sun, an east/west flow of gases under the surface of the Sun detected via seismology with spacecraft like the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)or SOHO and also with the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) observing stations, a system that measures pulsations on the solar surface to understand the internal structure of the sun.
The flow for Cycle 25 should have appeared in 2008 or 2009 but it has not and we see no sign of it, he said. This indicates that the start of Cycle 25 may be delayed to 2021 or 2022, with a minimum great that what we just experienced, or may not happen at all.
The second line of evidence is slowing of the rush to the poles, the rapid poleward march of magnetic activity observed in the Suns faint corona. Altrock said the activity in the solar corona follows same oscillation pattern described by Hill, and that they have been observing the pattern for about 40 years. The researchers now see a very weak and slow pattern in this movement.
The third line of evidence is a long-term weakening trend in the strength of sunspots. Penn, along with his colleague William Livingston predict that by Cycle 25, magnetic fields erupting on the Sun will be so weak that few if any sunspots will be formed.

may result in complete blackouts for years, in several areas of the US.... Let me hazard a random guess: These areas are all rural, and the solution will be to move folks to cities.
What's the prize for getting this right?

So many fantastic books to be made into movies ...
Sadly, We will be stuck with remakes of remakes for the rest of our lives because no one in Hollywierd can read and comprehend anymore.

“this decade”
Sometime in the next 9 years? Attractive girls used to say that to me a lot ...

I see the youth of today reacting to this just as the folks in Isaac Asimov’s story “ Nightfall” did.

You think that’s bad, wait for the sports update.

Lost me when the prediction was for this decade..

That’ll certainly help our carbon footprint, at least.
