I’d say, we’re screwed.
Somehow, someway, this has got to be BUSH’S FAULT!.....................
Easy now. The solar flares, sun spots, run in roughly 11 year cycles. I learned a great deal about solar activity while stationed in Teheran before the ouster of the Shah. The Air Force ran a solar observatory for the main purpose of monitoring solar activity because of the three HF communications trunks we (STRATCOM) serviced for the Embassy and Armish Maag agencies in country. This observatory was located on the same compound as our receivers site and we frequented the guys there just out of interest. If there was a sudden solar flare, they would call us with about a five minute warning of the higher freqencies going to hell so we could configure our transmitters and receivers to prepare for minimal imact from the radio waves that would bombard the planet.
When we got our tactical sattelite link installed with DC, it was not so much of an emergency since it was relatively unaffected as compared to the HF.
Now here we have another scientist telling us what he has observed and all I hear is the scare tactics of the early 70’s may very well be upon us. How convenient it is that now we have this issue coming to prominence since the AGW scam has been exposed.
