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.

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?

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”
