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 🥚🥚🥚.

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.
