Like global warming, it’s a “might happen” disaster.
Anything to keep your attention off the REAL looming disaster, the one that is sure to happen and there is no avoiding it: The economic collapse of the nation.

See though, unlike Global Warming, there is at least a kernel of truth behind the solar storms one, because it’s happened before and was actually recorded. IIRC, Russia got hit with one a long while back, and our East Coast did, too. It shorted out the power systems in…Virginia? Augh. I can’t really remember.
That still doesn’t change the fact that this sounds largely hysterical. If anything, we should be worried about the astronauts up in space right now – a solar flare would greatly increase the radiation they would receive in space…
Well said. There a LOT of bad things that MIGHT happen, and quite a few of them we can do nothing about. What then is the point of worrying.
But then again they’ve got to keep the fear levels up – makes the rank and file so much more compliant…
Time to bring back the Population Bomb?
