I'm classifying this under "scare" news--it gives us something else to worry about, something for which there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. We are powerless when it comes to these kinds of things. Eventually, the sun will go supernova in a billion years and everything on Earth will vanish.
Just a matter of time before a John Kerry or Al Gore try to make political hay (and money) off this--insisting that we need to give up something that might be causing it.

For those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend (with a caveat) you watch this excellent and well done documentary:
"Grid Down-Power Up" narrated by Dennis Quaid (Dennis Quaid is apparently "one of us")
The caveat is, that once you watch it, you are going to end up having in the back of your mind what a fragile electronically based existence we all live, and that it could all be taken down by a natural event unless we prepare (which we won't)
Kind of like a lifelong Californian who lives on the San Andreas Fault. You know it is going to happen some day, the big one. It is a natural event. It is inevitable. But perhaps you will be dead already when it happens, and anyway, you have to get over to the Walmart to buy some more grass seed for your yard...

If, as some measurements indicate, the earth’s magnetic field is weakening, it will not take an event nearly the size of a Carrington to produce a similar degree of disruption.
See Ben Davidson’s site called “Suspicious Observers” for a more complete explanation.

Like I care. The FBI tried to pull a coup d’etat on Trump and I should give a sh!t about this?

Also, if you go through the Stargate during a solar flare, you could end up back in 1969.

Interesting piece. I thought of the story Inconstant Moon, by Larry Niven, in which the full moon over Los Angeles is unusually bright one night...

One of my kids is an engineer as NASA. During Cleese he was a data technician for a solar observatory satellite mission.
He tracked a massive solar flare that blasted off into space.
That photo was published pretty widely.

THIS is why all FReepers should keep a minimal supply of firewood, potable water or the means to filter it, canned food and a basic garden. And of course, guns. A “Carrington Event” in 2023 would be a serious headache.

That’s nothing. Just wait until the peak of the galactic current sheet gets here.
