Melbourne, Aug 26 (ANI): Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid.
Despite its rebuttal, NASA's been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates - 2012.
Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale. The 2012 storm has the potential to be even more disruptive.
"The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into 2013) will be the most violent in 100 years," News.com.au quoted astronomy lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke as saying.
"A bold statement and one taken seriously by those it will affect most, namely airline companies, communications companies and anyone working with modern GPS systems.

Clinton on it right away.
Great false flag front.
High altitude nuke blast will do what they say their ‘predicted’ storm could do.
Dec. 21st by any chance?
Electromagnetic pulse -
The most underestimated and underreported threat to our cyberbased way of life that is known to exist.
Forget the 100 million H-bombs or whatever. A small nuclear pop at altitude over a national capital could destroy a country’s ability to govern and feed itself. Ask the Iranians: they threaten the use of EMP because they fear its use on them.
This solar storm could do the same thing worldwide without making a sound. Didn’t the poet write about the world ending “not with a bang but a whimper”?
Dang,those Mayans are at it again!

I paid the balance then told them to delete the account, not being too polite. I then called and talked to my Visa card carrier, USAA, to ask if they would raise my rates because of that. They told me they don’t play games like that like Discover does.
If you don’t know of them USAA Visa/MasterCard is the best company there is to deal with, hands down.
I am doing that now too, but my wife is not exactly tech savvy and it took a lot of persuasion to get her to go paperless.
The sun has a temperature.
It is anthropogenic.
Caused by Freeper SUVs, cattle and incandescent lighting.
Amazing stuff, thanks for posting.
2012 sounds like a good year for wearing gumboots.
So I should take a round-the-world cruise now, and really pile up the Mastercard/Visa card debt?
Yes!!! It believe the Aztec calendar predicts 2012 as the end of the world - so we got a lot going on in 2012. I guess I gotta kick my “bucket list” into high gear.
This sounds like someone just finished watching ‘2012’, in which an ‘unexpected and unprecedented’ solar flare, combined with mutated neutrinos (someone figure how THAT happens??) heats the Earth’s core and dislodges the tectonic plates.
That’s how someone can make up this kind of stupid stuff.
Well, then, we can do something about it. How about a “solar exchange”?
I’ll trade you sunbeams for your use of an SUV.
Bush did it!
Mutated neutrinos, awesome concept!
We didn’t listen!
They can predict anything. It’s the media.
