Solar Storms are a fact of life. An enormous solar storm struck Earth around 591 BC

love it when people just spit out BS .it make them sound really really smart. almost like as if they were there.

 

Whatever happened to all the ice from the ice age....

 

So that is why I couldn't work Judea or Phoenicia that weekend.

 

I remember when the Soviet Woodpecker started it was feared that was what they may be experimenting with.
During the latter stages of the Cold War.

 

Cocktails for the Party?
(I bet there was one hell of a party when they could actually start counting forward)

It's in the Oceans... What do you think happened to it?

I think global warming melted it and it's been going on for millions of years.

 

The $64 question of the day is what caused the globe to warm? Perhaps we need another 'planet killing' event to cool things off again.

It seems odd to me that so many very well educated Scientists believe in global warming while the very uneducated Non-Scientists don't believe in it. Could it be that the Scientists are looking at some thing, possibly studies and data, that lead them to believe it? What (or who) are the Non-Scientists looking at in order to form their own independent opinions? Other Non-Scientists who are only interested in keeping things the way they are (or were in the past) because it is profitable for them?

The fable of the Pied Piper comes to mind. Perhaps the 'leading' Non-Scientist, that the other Non-Scientists follow blindly, could offer up something other than pure opinion (the piper's tune) as proof?

Hmmm.... Interesting, to say the least.

I remember that storm. It wasn't so bad. We could still send Morse by smoke.

 

Resistance is futile. You will be evaporated!

 

Protons, neutrons, and I'm pretty sure I qualify as an oldtron.

 

THUS SAYETH WIKIPEDIA:

"Ice cores containing thin nitrate-rich layers have been analysed to reconstruct a history of past solar storms predating reliable observations. Some researchers have stated that data from Greenland ice cores show evidence of individual solar-proton events, including the Carrington event. More recent work by the ice core community casts significant doubt on this interpretation, and shows that nitrate spikes are not a result of solar energetic particle events. Indeed, no consistency is found in cores from Greenland and Antarctica, and nitrate events can be due to terrestrial events such as burnings, so use of this technique is now in doubt.[24][25][26]

Less severe storms have occurred in 1921 and 1960, when widespread radio disruption was reported. The March 1989 geomagnetic storm knocked out power across large sections of Quebec. On July 23, 2012 a "Carrington-class" solar superstorm (solar flare, coronal mass ejection, solar EMP) was observed; its trajectory missed Earth in orbit. Information about these observations was first shared publicly by NASA on April 28, 2014."

 

And considering how many '500-year floods' we seem to be having lately...
