Approximately 14,000 years ago, the unprecedented solar event—now judged to be the most powerful known to have occurred—marked Earth’s transition into the Holocene epoch, according to the findings of an international team of scientists.
The team traces the event to around 12,350 BC using a new climate-chemistry model specifically designed to reconstruct ancient solar particle activity. This expands the known timeline for ancient solar storms and raises the bar on the upper boundaries of their intensity.
Although the event in question was already known from past observations of radiocarbon spikes in ancient wood samples, its scale and magnitude remained unknown.
Now, thanks to a unique model employed by researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland led by postdoctoral researcher Kseniia Golubenko and Professor Ilya Usoskin, the ancient storm is recognized as being 18% more intense than the next strongest solar event of similar character, which occurred in AD 775 based on data from tree-ring data.
The discovery was made possible by the team’s specially designed SOCOL:14C-Ex model, which also showed the extremity of the event from 14,000 years ago compared with the most powerful solar storms of recent years.
“Compared to the largest event of the modern satellite era — the 2005 particle storm — the ancient 12,350 BC event was over 500 times more intense, according to our estimates,” Dr. Golubenko said.
Golubenko notes that the scale of such storms in the past reveals the potential that storms of similar magnitude could occur again. The impact such solar activity might have on modern infrastructure, including satellites, electrical grids, and communication systems, could be vastly underestimated.
“This event establishes a new worst-case scenario,” Golubenko said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
And a million billion zillion years ago, (insert thing) happened. My new model says so.
a new climate-chemistry model specifically designed to prove what ever canard the narrative control cubicle demands it to.
not
science.
IIRC, that coincides with Graham Hancock’s timeline when he suspects a major catastrophe hit Earth, and was chronicled, as it were, in separate civilizations around the globe.
Sounds like a 14,000 years ago problem to me.
.
Something like that happening now would be .... interesting. Satellites fried, the grid fried, telecommunications fried. At the end of the day we’re just cavemen without the skills.
You deserve a hefty bag of grant money.
Tweeeeeet!
Biblical timeline violation.

55 Funny Punishments For Losing a Game In Class With Friends
Let’s dive into the fun!
1. Sing a nursery rhyme in front of the class.
When someone loses a game in class, they can sing a nursery rhyme for everyone.
They can choose a fun rhyme like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” or “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.”
This punishment is funny and lets the class enjoy some music. Everyone can join in or clap along.
It’s a great way to bring smiles and a little bit of singing talent to the classroom!
2. Wear a funny hat for the rest of the day.
If a friend loses, they have to wear a funny hat. It could be a big cowboy hat, a silly beanie, or even a wizard’s hat.
They must wear it in class, in the halls, and even at lunch!
This will make everyone laugh and add a bit of fun to the whole day. The funny hat becomes a joke everyone shares.
3. Do a silly dance for 30 seconds.
Losing a game might mean doing a silly dance in front of everyone.
The dance should be as funny as possible. They could wiggle, hop, or even do the robot.
It’s a short dance, just half a minute, but it will make everyone giggle. It’s a quick way to shake off losing a game!
Speak in a made-up language for 5 minutes.
This punishment is super funny. The person has to talk in a language they make up.
It could be anything! They might say “blip blop” or “ding dong” instead of normal words.
They try to keep a straight face while everyone else tries to guess what they’re saying. It’s a fun and silly way to speak that gets everyone laughing.
4. Write a love poem to the teacher.
If someone loses, they might have to write a short love poem to the teacher.
It should be funny and sweet. The poem can talk about how great the teacher is or how much they love homework.
It’s just for fun and to give the teacher a good laugh. They read the poem aloud, and it’s all about making the moment light and enjoyable.

Why am I put in mind of Wile E. Coyote with his teeny umbrella...
Personally, I welcome the coming ice age. I always wondered what woolly mammoth tastes like…
It is a certainty that it WILL happen again. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe 20 million years from now.
I have to put on my worry hat...
Hahahahaha!
Or use the Steven Crowder “ADMONISH” clip!
Rural FReepers will survive.
For everyone else it will be eat or be eaten in the ensuing cannibal apocalypse.
So…about the end of the last ice age? That’s a co-inky-dink! Not.
That all sounds like the first scene in a movie about a horrible school shooting! LOL
I think that the Younger Dryas impact hypotheses that may have formed the Carolina Bays just had some help.
