Story elsewhere that this is the coldest summer in the arctic since they began to keep numbers....
...Get out that old parka, the 1950’s could be coming back.
It’a already a much cooler year in Colorado than last yesr (despite a June temperature bump up).
If you're referring to the event, do you have something to verify that either way?
As to the potential consequences, you could be right. The comments offer information for people to research and decide for themselves.
Me too, especially when it's insulted for not working. Most here are probably too young to recall Frankie Laine's big hit song "Lucky Old Sun."
The lyric goes: "Up in the mornin'/Out on the job/I work like the devil for my pay./I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do/But roll around heaven all day."
Don’t tell Hank Johnson (the Guam is tipping over Senator) about this he may think it’s a good idea to create a sun tax to ease the sun’s struggle.
Well, heck. If Maryland can tax rain...
Just yesterday the Michigan Court of appeals ruled that rainwater taxes were illegal.
About that almost ‘Carrington Event’ two weeks ago ( Solar Eruption)....Eronous?

“It’a already a much cooler year in Colorado than last yesr (despite a June temperature bump up).”
Proof positive that Obama’s climate policies are already working! (s)
Student: "Is that near the Big Dipper?"
www.iceagenow.com is a very interesting website.
Scientific terms that us peasants are sure not to understand. Search out a progressive for more information and definition.
Sequester Sun!
Interesting. That would indicate cooling, which is what the current data indicate.
That being admitted, the present attenuation is not yet half as deep a trough as was recorded during the last two solar maxima, particularly that seen in late spring 1991.
Of course, the present decline is a reduction from the highest ever recorded cosmic ray flux maximum coincident with the last solar minima around November 2009.
Coincidentally, I was doing yard work yesterday and listening to Dr. Michio Kaku on my walkman. He got a question about a Carrington level event today.
His long answer was more or less a recap of everything the doomsday folks are saying, plus how poorly prepared we are for it and, if I heard him right, ended by saying if one like that hit now, it would take countries back many decades, if not a 100 years into the past. Science meets drama for a radio audience, but...
I figure it's something that has happened before and will happen again, maybe even bigger. (Kinda cool how that big meteor just missed that road in northern Arizona...sometimes you get lucky!)
I also see little to suggest that our tech dependent world isn't every bit as fragile as it appears to be.
Plus, while I know how strong, resilient and resourceful humans are, I don't see a lot of those models in our world today. You're right about the media. Add to them the GuvCo schools.
Just thinking out loud, I think the preppers have a lot to teach the rest of us.
