I know fuck all about space, I don't see the point in learning I mean look what it done to Steven Hawking it blew his fucking mind.

Anyway spotted this, I know yahoo is probablys not a good source for news but it's how I get my dayly intake.

Is this another government scare like global warning, are they going to say in a few months time that we will be able to stop this ^^^ if we use less electricity and all buy a Honda Prius.

Climate Change no longer on the forefront of our minds?

No more man made Ice Age?

No Millenium Bug (that never ever happened)?

Sense of changing attitudes around the world re: war on terror, oil and two vastly different administrations in the UK and USA.

Feeling more relaxed recently?

I know, let's whip up another storm to last another couple of years to top up the all controlling fear factor.

Personal "Give-A-Fuck" meter is reading -20.

His mind is fine, its his body thats fucked.

Shows the 11 year cycle of sunspot activity. The sun does actually spin and have seasons which is what sunspot activity may in some way be connected to. Last 250 days have been sunspot free, which is very very wrong according to what we know.

Solar activity can fuck up satellites, short power grids or just make the northern lights pretty. It's something that needs monitoring, even if its just to improve our understanding, but theres fuck all we can really do about it. If all the satellites get fucked up every 10 years or so, we'll just have to put up with it.

See now that makes more sense, so other than a few days of darkness and people winging that they can't put their new myspace photos on the net it's not that bad is it. Unless people panic buy batterys, omg crisis.

The odds of you dieing as a result of solar activity are much less than the odds of you being killed by an asteroid, and i can't say the average person is very concerned about that, even given media hype and some very bad movies Laughing

OMG!

You mean telly wouldn't work? So no Big Brother or Celebrity heehaw on ice or in skates or on skateboards and dare I say it... No World Cup? (Eeek!)

My question is, would it harm ithings? If so, then I'm not concerned. Lets be honest though, NASA are just looking for headlines aren't they. They're in decline, theres no money for space missions and they're clutching at straws.

They should have a big brother type thing on the ISS, eviction means being blown out an airlock.

If you use Prof. Hawking's model then it's less than a storm in a teaspoon.
What happens in our Solar System means nought to the Grand Scheme of Things. Smile

Less than a speck of dust.

Actually, I did read somewhere that it seriously totalled things in the early 20th century once, and that was with barely any electrical logistics. Now... pff... Incoming!

If we tax it hard enough, it will all go away.

I'm more concerned about Katla erupting than a massive solar flare.

Katla has awoken significantly since the Eyjafjallajokull eruptions and each of the past 3 Eyjafjallajokull eruptions have been followed by a Katla eruption.

It is said to be significantly more powerful and could cause chaos over the summer holidays if it erupted and the wind was in the right direction....

Especially if it turns into another Laki Haze

Quote:
An estimated 120 million tons of sulfur dioxide were emitted, about three times the total annual European industrial output in 2006, and equivalent to a 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption every three days.[7] This outpouring of sulfur dioxide during unusual weather conditions caused a thick haze to spread across western Europe, resulting in many thousands of deaths throughout 1783 and the winter of 1784.

The summer of 1783 was the hottest on record and a rare high pressure zone over Iceland caused the winds to blow to the south-east.[7] The poisonous cloud drifted to Bergen in Norway, then spread to Prague in the Kingdom of Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic) by 17 June, Berlin by 18 June, Paris by 20 June, Le Havre by 22 June, and to Great Britain by 23 June. The fog was so thick that boats stayed in port, unable to navigate, and the sun was described as "blood coloured".[7]

Inhaling sulfur dioxide gas causes victims to choke as their internal soft tissue swells. The local death rate in Chartres was up by 5% during August and September, with over 40 dead. In Great Britain, the records show that the additional deaths were outdoor workers; the death rate in Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire and the east coast was perhaps two or three times the normal rate . It has been estimated that 23,000 British people died from the poisoning.[11]

The weather became very hot, causing severe thunderstorms with large hailstones that were reported to have killed cattle,[12] until the haze dissipated in the autumn. The winter of 1784 was most severe;[13] Gilbert White at Selborne in Hampshire reported 28 days of continuous frost. The extreme winter is estimated to have caused 8,000 additional deaths in the UK. In the spring thaw, Germany and Central Europe reported severe flood damage.[7]

If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
