Terrifying new scientific discovery

[PAH]

So a new period of solar maximus means more global warming?

Hopefully it means we might get a proper summer without having to go to foreigner land.

Or is this not in line with those with vested interests wanting us to go along with the 'man is killing the planet through climate change' nonsense?

Doesn't worry me, I'm wearing my tinfoil hat.

Well they're not dying fast enough because there's over 7 billion of you hu-mans now.

Quite. Bear in mind that this phenomenon has been there since the year dot with no ill effects. In fact it's taken us until now to notice it. It's not the case that we are about to see "a period of dangerous intensity never experienced by any living person" either. The main difference is that now we have the internet so any crackpot can write this sort of alarmist drivel and scare people.

It reminds me of the Ozone 'hole'
When it became possible to measure Ozone accurately, they discovered that there was a big hole over Antartica, and it was getting bigger. Scary.
There were only a few years of data but it was well known that CFC gasses destroy ozone. The biggest growing source of CFC gasses was human activity, noteably fridges.
So in order to save the planet, all the old fridges were scrapped and new , more expensive ones were designed.
It has since been shown that it was a natural cycle and nothing to do with human activity.

Of course the greenies dont like to talk about this any more, nor the thousands of poor people in hot countries that die because they cant afford a fridge any more.

Solar storm of 1859 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On September 1–2, 1859, the largest recorded geomagnetic storm occurred. Aurorae were seen around the world, most notably over the Caribbean; also noteworthy were those over the Rocky Mountains that were so bright that their glow awoke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning.[4] According to professor Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, "people in the northeastern U.S. could read newspaper print just from the light of the aurora."[5]
Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases even shocking telegraph operators.[6] Telegraph pylons threw sparks and telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire.[7] Some telegraph systems appeared to continue to send and receive messages despite having been disconnected from their power supplies.[8]

No mention of radioactive carbon-14 turning people into flesh eating zombies though.

As the sun builds towards solar maximum and a period of dangerous intensity never experienced by any living person inexorably approaches, strange, uncontrollable forces could be building deep within its fiery nuclear furnace.

Well I'm terrified.

Even if it is true, you can't do anything about it so why worry?

It's already been proven that the sun's mass warps time, bends light waves and accounts for mutation of species on Earth. Now this new force may be directly interacting with matter in a way that could not only change Mankind's understanding of physics, but change Mankind itself…and not necessarily in a beneficial way.

Well I'm terrified.

[doodab]

That's hardly terrifying, even wrapped up in journalistic hyperbole and seen through the eyes of an ignoramus.

Mildly interesting though.
