All this blathering about global warming — we’d be absolutely helpless if a strong solar storm came our way. Would likely wipe out half of humanity. And the more affluent the society, the more vulnerable they would be.

Alright, break it down. How many tax dollars are needed to prevent the next one, and how many years do we have left?

The researchers found a strange spike in radiocarbon within the rings of subfossilized trees dating to around 14,300 years ago.

OBVIOUSLY due to man-made climate change!!!

Oh, wait...

Fascinating. When it comes to brass tacks, they really don't know the atmospheric effects of a CME (tacitly admitted at the end of the article).

Additionally, I'd never considered a CME as an explanation for ancient texts.

Which of those pics would you describe in drawings/carvings as serpents? It could also explain the reverence of the Sun by early cultures around the world.

It's refreshing to experience good, hard science.

Couldn’t be something to do with the sun?????????

Actually, you’re absolutely right. Forest through the trees.

My cousin paints murals.

When I was a kid, I’d have been thrilled to have that on a wall.

I’m going to forward it to her.

From the article:

“In that strongest ever Carrington Event there were reports of telegraph lines sparking with the voltages induced in them,” Alan Woodward, a professor of computer science and space weather expert at England’s University of Surrey, previously told Newsweek”.

The telephone was invented in 1926?

"The telephone was invented in 1926?"

The telegraph was invented in 1844 and the telephone was patented in 1876.

“Which of those pics would you describe in drawings/carvings as serpents?”

But keep in mind you are joining both science and spirituality together here with that.

The Norse did the same with the Milky Way across the sky.

So this was the event that destroyed early power stations, cell phones, etc., sending us into the dark ages.

No one mentioned this.

“This immensely powerful solar storm is thought to have been at least 10 times as powerful as the Carrington Event of 1859”

I don’t understand how a tree from 774 AD gives warning as one from 14,300 years ago. Also is there any evidense from Clovis material that the older event had human impact?

As will the Charlemagne event samples, beryllium-10 was found in the 14,300 year old tree ring.

Yes, but nothing like seeing them first person.

The ones I saw while on an amphibious deployment to northern Norway in February 1981 filled the night sky above the fjords. Also the “dragons” are not static; they wriggle and dance, appear, disappear, and reappear transformed.
