One of those bursts, called a coronal mass ejection, or CME, is expected to collide and consume another, creating what's called a cannibal CME event. According to The Weather Channel, these events can spark strong geomagnetic storms β and in this case, it's headed in our direction.
NOAA expects that the CMEs will hit on Thursday, but before they do, the agency said that Earth will also be blasted on Wednesday with relatively fast solar winds, known as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. The solar winds alone could trigger a minor geomagnetic storm on Wednesday, but those conditions are expected to escalate to strong conditions, known as G3, once the solar bursts make their appearance.
NOAA said at least four of the CMEs have the potential to directly affect Earth.

A Solar flare is just a Solar flare no matter how many stupid words they put in front of it ,LOL
In 1862 the Northern Lights were clearly visible over the battlefield at Fredericksburg, Va.

The K index has jumped from a 2 to a 6 in the last couple of hours. It’s here.
This... is actually a bigger concern than most of the climate change psychosis. We’re long overdue for a Carrington-level solar event. You want chaos? A CME will provide that in spades.
Further, as discussed by Svensmark and Calder in “The Chilling Stars,” higher solar output equals lower cosmic radiation making it to us. This, in turn, it believed to reduce overall cloud cover, which will, in turn, increase global temperatures.
The psychotic leftists have us in a bind: if we do something, and we see cooling as a result of the solar minimum, they can claim what they’re doing is “working.” And sadly, most of the globe will believe it.
On the other hand, they can point to increased global temperatures as a result of a more active sun as further need to implement insane “climate policy,” and we’re stuck arguing with idiots.
The sun and the cosmos are the biggest contributors to our planet’s weather. Our output as a species is a pittance by comparison.
My brother-in-law thinks he’s a chicken.
We’d take him to the psychiatrist but we need the eggs π₯π₯π₯.

So Greta Thunberg will be arcing with lightning β‘β‘β‘ bolts? π
Oh, I know that a CME striking Earth would be disastrous, but there is bupkis that I can do about it.
If everyone switches to all electric homes and cars, one giant solar flare could shut down the entire country.

This is from Donβt Look Up.
THAT was a funny movie! The satire was razor sharp.
THAT sounds painful.
This is happening now. For real. Hope it doesn’t get too bad.
It is happening right now. Lots of communication issues going on at work.
