Is that what they are going to blame when they turn the lights off hoping we freeze in the dark?

Pathetic. I’ve observered more sunspots. Look at sunspots history count.More likely to enhance shortwave propagation.

We should pass a law against ‘scientists’.

They are already outlawing certain scientists of wrongthink.
Data must comport to predetermined conclusions.

"Why don’t we just pass a law against Sunspots?"Maybe we could launch some Coppertone Sunscreen P-8.

It may look frightening, but we learned a lot from what happened in Quebec in 1989. We now have multiple satellites regularly monitoring the Sun, and if we get a massive coronal mass ejection (CME), we have several hours to start implementing safety measures, including cutting connections to power transmission lines, to slow and stop the propogation of a possible electromagtic pulse from the CME.

Greatest acceptance speech, ever. Neil didn’t look amused, though.

It could, but probably won't.

Whiskey sours are known to cause devastating blackouts too
I’m surprised the left haven’t had a cow over the terms “blackouts” and “brownouts”lol

If it clears up, I will have to check it out with my telescope. Should be interesting.

One of my projects is to make a Faraday Cage. I keep putting it off, but it may be too late to make one this time. Gotta get ‘er done…
