BBC Horizon: Solar Storms The Threat to Planet Earth (Full)

.......................................................

There is a new kind of weather to worry about, and it comes from our nearest star.

Scientists are expecting a fit of violent activity on the sun which will propel billions of tonnes of superheated gas and pulses of energy towards our planet. They have the power to close down our modern technological civilisation - e.g. in 1989, a solar storm cut off the power to the Canadian city of Quebec.

Horizon meets the space weathermen who are trying to predict what is coming our way, and organisations like the National Grid, who are preparing for the impending solar storms.

NEW SOLAR CYCLE PREDICTION (MAY 2013)

It is tempting to describe such a cycle as "weak" or "mild," but that could give the wrong impression. "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013."

OMG look at the sun right no...na.....oooO.... :nails:

How about the sun makes us all happy and makes the flowers grow news?

See look:

I mean a metorite might crush it, a fire might burn it, a hippie might pick it, an elephant might tread on it. But that is also not news.

More fear propaganda, the solar storms are what is accelerating the awakening of humanity, so are beneficial, this is my belief and i have to say personal experience.
I do also rationalise that the chemtrails are to block this effect. :think:
