Only when it gets angry.

Trump’s fault. Womyn and minorities hardest hit.

No, but we can have some reminds of old trees which can be aligned with newer records. After few of those alignments, you get to present.

The 1859 event was NOT a “major” event. It was 80X LESS powerful than the events they are describing. The last Big One was AD 774

[logi_cal869]

It ain’t the Sun.

Shall they rename the ‘events’ after me? /s

[curious7]

iirc, that’s what Texas does.

Maybe they're a good thing. The climate in the last 11,000 years has been relatively stable and loads better the preceding glacial era.

Where is the 9000 year old tree?

“10 billion 1-megaton atomic bombs”

Remember we humans are changing the climate on earth and not the sun....

[enumerated]

The article says every 1000 years or so, then it says they occurred in the years 7176 B.C., 5410 B.C., 5259 B.C., 660 B.C., A.D. 774 and A.D. 993..

If my math is correct, that’s not every 1000 years or so - that’s very irregular intervals of 1766, 151, 4599, 1434, and 219.

So we can safely assume it will happen in 5000 years, tomorrow, never, or any time in between.

Petrified wood ...

Well, after 10,000 years of pummeling, you would think it would give up. Determined little sucker, isn’t it?

Thanks BenLurkin, a twofer.
