Coming Solar Storms Could Be 20x Worse than Katrina

if this is true, everyone... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HOLD IN YOUR FARTS!!! we do not need to be adding fuel to the fire!!!

 

maybe we should set Lt. Dan up on a satellite to yell: "you call this a storm?!"

 

most cultures with end of the world beliefs actually believe that the world begins and ends in a cycle. End of the world actually means 'end of the current world'.

This often simply means some sort of shift, or change in direction.

 

well if this goes through 11 year cycles pretty regularly as it says, then i'm pretty sure i was alive for most of the last cycle of increased activity and i think i'd remember if the planet had been destroyed at any point during my childhood.

 

Scary... =s

 

so were entering another period of stronger solar activity.
Just like the last one.
And the one before that.
and the one before that.
that goes back to 1950 and we were pretty alright then so now that we are smarter and more advanced we can handle it right? I mean we know so much more about the sun than what we did years ago so like whats the big deal?

 

But if we don't freak out and predict doom every few years then what else are we gonna do?

 

But they didn't have real technology back then (Computer based), so who knows what's gonna happen with that.

 

This solar cycle probably isn't gonna be that bad, not that i know better than NASA haha. Hopefully/probably they'll be little activity from the sun for the next few years so global warming will be offset for a few years.

(how bad is it that i know background info to that?

 

Qft.

 

Yeah, and if you actually did the research, which you obviously didn't, you would know it happens over tens of thousands of years. Now, what has happened has just happened over a span of ten years (the effects, not the actions.) I think there is a big difference between ten and ten thousand. Just saying.

Quit fucking talking / Quoted for truth

 

Quoted for the truth

Hmm i beg to differ. I have done my research and that its slowly rising. BUT we are starting to get to the point where we are seeing things changing due to it combine that with too much knowledge and we have 'global warming'. Plus accurate recording of temperatures has only been done for the past 100 years or so, so we cant really say much!

 

No, temperature records go back thousands of years. Carbon/Methane/etc concenatration records are stored in the ice, which means there are records going back to when the ice caps began to form again. We have only been looking at the ice for the data for 100 years. Don't mix the two up.

I think, that naturally the Earth does go through cycles, and we are beginning to go into a warming one again. But greenhouse gases are accelerating it far beyond natural levels.

Saying "Oh, those gases that we release billions of tons daily into the atmosphere, proven to trap heat, are doing absolutely nothing." is just completely stupid.

 

i seem to remember reading that the earths climate goes through a pretty radical change about every 10,000 years. and if you look back about 10,000 years, there was an ice age..which is ironically named because it was actually a period of time of rapid fluctuations of the earth's climate, not necessarily always cold. anyway, i guess we're due for another shift around now.
