“Both flares originated from sunspot (a darkened area of intense magnetic activity on the sun’s surface) called AR3110 in the northwestern part of the sun’s visible disk and each was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME), which is a burst of magnetized particles from the sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona. The two plasma clouds may now be heading to Earth, following a couple of earlier CMEs that exploded from the sun on Saturday (Oct. 1).
“Simultaneously, a stronger-than-usual solar wind, a stream of charged particles constantly emanating from the sun, is currently blowing toward our planet from a coronal hole (an opening in the magnetic field of the sun). The combination means that the CMEs may trigger a noticeable geomagnetic storm on Earth in the coming days. NOAA predicts(opens in new tab) that a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm might hit the planet on Tuesday (Oct. 4), possibly causing minor power grid issues at high latitudes and affecting satellites in low Earth orbit.”
But we can ‘solve’ Climate Change by eating bugs and throwing more money at Mother Government.
The ‘science’ is settled! The Sun controls nothing on Earth. NOTHING!

“likely?”
“Likely”, “may have”. Really, do these writers have nothing better to do other then speculate? Did they even try to find out if anything like they described actually happened? I doubt it.
Didn’t Nancy pelosi,and the Magnificent Demos, already solve all that is wrong with creation/nature?
NEAT TRICK...........................
Desantis’ fault too?
Trump’s fault.
He refused to sign demoncrat legislation that would have banned solar flares.
POSSIBLE CANNIBAL CME EVENT: According to NOAA forecasters, multiple CMEs are heading for Earth. ETA: Oct. 4th. This could be a “Cannibal CME” event. Take a look at this NOAA model. Cannibal CMEs form when a fast-moving CME devours one or more slower CMEs ahead of it. The combined cloud contains tangled magnetic fields that can do a good job sparking auroras. Storm levels could reach category G2 if/when the Cannibal arrives. Aurora alerts: SMS Text
