In a new government document, the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills has laid out its Space Weather Preparedness Strategy, outlining the risks of unsettled space weather as well as what it plans to do about them.

THE CARRINGTON EFFECT will turn the earth back to the stone age.
The electron will be our undoing.

We could avoid this if we’d just come to terms with global warming.

Actually the people who study the sun have some solid numbers showing the sun entering a Solar minimum. Not unheard of and has happened before. It could cause a little ice age.
You have to wonder what Al Global Warming Gore will do for a living if that should happen. ;-)

Please enlighten us about your thoughts on the solar storm of 1859, also known as the Carrington event? I am very interested to hear you thoughts on it.

The way the Weather Channel freaks out over a four-inch snowfall, I can scarcely imagine.
To: Kartographer
Theres no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so youve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and its far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
