The catastrophe, when it comes, will be beautiful at first. It is a balmy evening in late September 2012. Ever since the sun set, the dimming skies over London have been alive with fire.
Pillars of incandescent green writhe like gigantic serpents across the skies.
Sheets of orange race across the horizon during the most spectacular display of the aurora borealis seen in southern England for 153 years.
And then, 90 seconds later, the lights start to go out. Not the lights in the sky - they will dazzle until dawn - but the lights on the ground.
Within an hour, large parts of Britain are without power.
By midnight, every mobile network is down and the internet is dying. Television - terrestrial and satellite - blinks off the air.
Radio is reduced to a burst of static.
By noon the following day, it is clear something terrible has happened and the civilised world has plunged into chaos.
A year later, Britain, most of Europe plus North America is in the grip of the deepest economic catastrophe in history.
By the end of 2013, 100,000 Europeans have died of starvation.
The dead go unburied, the sick untreated.
It will take two decades or more for the first green shoots of recovery to appear - recovery from the first solar superstorm in modern history.
This catastrophe is not some academic one-in-a-million chance scenario.
It is a very real threat which, according to a report in the latest issue of New Scientist, remains one of the most potent, yet least recognised, threats to the future of human civilisation.

Dead going unburied, hundreds of thousands dead...
Two words.
First word: Horse
Second word: S-—
That’s not even counting the idiocy of saying this will happen in two years.
Of course it is!
Hell, San Andreas is going to be Bush's fault before it's all over said and done.
Y'all got any popcorn?
Especially since the sun is sleeping right now! We are in the quietest period of solar activity in over 100 years, and rapidly approaching the territory of the Dalton and Mauder minimums, whcih, btw were characterized by the ‘Little Ice Age’ The sun is currently in the process of blowing the AGW theory out of the water.
Temps are decreasing and the sun is sleeping? CO2 is going up. What do you think is more important, a little CO2 or the sun in determining global temps?
Your gunsafe is a nice faraday cage as well. Stick a laptop, solar charger, and a portable 1TB hard drive with all the electronic information you'd care to keep safe.
Horse Crap? The claim that a solar storm could cause that kind of shutdown may be horse crap, but the consequences if it happened would be catastrophic.
[It’s here, it’s name is Barack Hussein Obama.]
Put the two together and I agree.
How you gonna gear up to manufacture all those flux capacitors.
I'm hoarding my popcorn for me and close family and you can't have any! ; )
No, thats a sh!t storm.
I’ll trade you some pizza!
What do you bet when we go into the next ice age they blame global warming.
Flux Capacitors?
For crying out loud, that is old technology. That was "order before midnight" material yesterday. ~ snort
Country folk still teach their youngsters how to hunt and field dress their kill, so they’ll be in better shape than those who have been reared to expect their food to appear on supermarket shelves.
Mmmm....
Now I'm confused, I need to think on that one.....
