From the article:

“The most famous Coronal Mass Ejection occurred in 1859 and caused a geomagnetic storm called the ‘Carrington Event’ as a pulse of charged particles bombarded Earth’s magnetosphere.

“If this happened today, the results would be devastating.

“In April, Nasa wrote: ‘The Carrington Event compressed the Earth’s magnetic field so violently that currents were created in telegraph wires so great that many wires sparked and gave telegraph operators shocks.

“‘Were a Carrington-class event to impact the Earth today, speculation holds that damage might occur to global power grids and electronics on a scale never yet experienced.’”

If I understand correctly we have just begun the solar minimum cycle that will last approximately 11 years. So, in 2030, we may be at risk of getting hit by another Carrington-class event that could create havoc with our electric and electronic systems. We’re doomed. We’re so dependent on wireless communication and data transfer, if there was a major disruptive event, then everything on earth could come to a standstill.

So AOC was correct - in 12 years globull warming will hit us and destroy the earth.

Gosh darn, that AOC sure is a smart gal.

Whoa! This sounds like the Sun is responsible for..

..wait for it..

For your reference the Carrington Event was a minor flicker compared to the Charlemagne:

The Charlemagne Event of 774-775 AD Was Caused by a Solar Storm
