Violent sun throws fit, massive blast of plasma to hit Earth

Post by Gaigemasta »

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are no laughing matter, but for quite some time now we've been livin' easy as the sun kept it cool. That changes tomorrow, when a massive CME will hit our atmosphere, flung asunder by that great CFL in the sky, which apparently spent much of yesterday throwing a giant, solar tantrum. Scientists are saying that human life will probably not be exterminated thanks to our atmosphere, but GPS and cellular reception could be a little finicky tomorrow. We can't wait to see the anti-sun attack ads from Apple.

*sigh* where's the bullsh!t episode on the 2012 crap...

The earth's been hit with a lot of those, and we get hit often; if they could destroy all life on earth, it would've happened ages ago.

"Coronal mass ejections are often associated with solar flares and prominence eruptions but they can also occur in the absence of either of these processes. The frequency of CMEs varies with the sunspot cycle. At solar minimum we observe about one CME a week. Near solar maximum we observe an average of 2 to 3 CMEs per day."

We should stop treating people like objects, or at least treat our objects with more respect.

yay, more mass radiation from the sun to weaken our ozone and lower our ionosphere even farther.

its true that we have been hit by many of them. but the stuff that protects us from them is weakening. it isnt unlikely that a really strong mass ejection will hit earth in the not to distant future and scortch a large plot of land.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosphere

The internal field of the Earth (its "main field") appears to be generated in the Earth's core by a dynamo process, associated with the circulation of liquid metal in the core, driven by internal heat sources.


Not weakening, you're thinking about the ozone layer.

technically it is weakening.
but im not talking about it being affecting by general wear and tear. the confirmed brown dwarf moving into our solar system is working with our sun to cause a degaussing affect.
G1.9

this can further affect our magnetosphere.

Some people are quite good at repeating propaganda.

Just a researched guess, but I will mention it. The Secret Military’s X-37B unmanned space shuttle was sent into orbit April 23rd, 2010. It may be an EMP weapon which while in orbit can send a power EMP down to locations on the Earth to destroy electronics and electric grids in a controlled manner. All the meanwhile blaming the Sun. The X-37B has a nuclear powered battery which allows it to have the power to create such EMP’s. Most military equipment is protected against EMP, however civilian electronics such as T.V.s, Radios, Cell phones, Computers and the Car & Truck electric brains are not. They will EMP us to create a Solar False Flag, declare marshal law in the name of a national emergency. The federal government is training postal workers in six U.S. cities to dispense “anti-terror drugs” in the event of a biological attack, with the promise that they will be accompanied by law enforcement officers to protect them from “potentially violent crowds”. Truth be known, they have a reserved paper trail of all those who use drugs already in preparation for the EMP attack which they will blame on the sun.

But will my tinfoil hat protect me from EMP?
