When the sun hits Earth with a big solar flare and CME, the electrical grid could be irreparable damaged. Experts think this could be coming in our life time. Sending mankind back to a pre-electrical age, resulting in mass death.
This has been known for a long time but until recently, the msm hasn’t reported it.
With more activity comes an increase in space weather events including solar flares and solar eruptions, which can impact radio communications, electric power grids, and navigation signals, as well as pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. We have an increasing dependence on space-based technology and ground-based infrastructure that are susceptible to the dynamic nature of space.

Yes, this will happen, it is only a matter of time. Will it take down the power grid? It depends on two factors, the strength of the CME, and the strength of the Earth's own magnetic field.
LOL I posted a thread on the possibility of a Carrington Event some time ago, and all you dumb fucks made fun of it. Yes, such an event is a definite possibility. However, while it's effects would be severe, it would not be the end of the world, and I expect that we would muddle through it. But all of you silly asses that are hoping for Armageddon believing that somehow your silly beliefs would allow you to profit will find that is simply another one of your fantasies.
I notice, when you were asked to link your thread, you did not. I remember when you posted that thread. I personally did not mock you. IN fact, I personally, thought you were entirely too optimistic about our potential outcome, should one hit. You, as usual, were using it as a platform to push your green energy agenda.
There is something far more dangerous, and sinister related to this issue, than just, "energy," which most folks are not even aware. It is more, about, survival, IMO.
Well ... it's been ten years ... the probability of a big CME turns out to have been ZERO % ... no surprise there ... fear-mongering at it's ugliest ... do these people really think the readers are this stupid ... this insults the intelligence ... "physicist Pete Riley of Predictive Science Inc. published a paper in Space Weather" ... no link? ... let's get this straight ... Mr Riley looked at the past 50 years of data and concluded a 1 in 8 chance for a Big CME ... that's means he found 6 CMEs that hit Earth in those fifty years ... 12% ... and you believe him? ... [shakes head] ...
The next violation of common sense is damaged caused ... ships at sea aren't effected because they're grounded through the ocean water ... people, pets, homes, businesses, schools and hospitals are also grounded, so no effect ... what wasn't grounded in 1854?, telegraph wires ... and for the most part, these wires picked up enough charge to run without the operators spining the rheostats ... only in a few places were there fires or damage ... the system never went down ... operators were able to quickly install spare equipment ...
That was then and this is now ... today we have far more overhead wires and we have come to depend on these wires more than 170 years ago ... at least some of us have ... a good 20% of us don't even have an electric grid and no electricity in our homes or businesses ... 50% of us have such piss-poor service that we can't rely on the grid to begin with ... another 20% who have only recently received such modern invention and have yet to come to depend on the grid ...
That leaves the 10% in Anglo-America and Western Europe who would suffer ... [shrugs shoulders] ... hardly the existential threat some imagine this will be ... and with the 24 hour warning, really only Texas is stupid enough to not open their breakers and set everything to Earth ground ...
There is more here to this issue, than just CME ejections. As long as the Earth's Magnetic field strength remains strong? We will probably be able to withstand, or indeed, recover from most CMEs. We had learned some valuable lessons from the Carrington Event, and the CME of 1989.
What we are not prepared for, and will never, EVER be prepared for, is a CME event, when the Earth's magnetic field strength is disorganized or completely weakened.
You think CMEs won’t do damage. Proof you’re uninformed.
Agreed.
According to my research, it would require a super large solar flare and CME to take out the country’s entire grid or most of it. If the earth’s magnetic field is weakening as experts claim, we become more exposed as it weakens. Of course if government and energy companies are really doing things to protect the grid, the damage might be minimized.
Without electricity for a several month period, millions dying seems likely.
Electricity, or the continuation of human civilization, is, IMO, the least of humankind's problems, IMO. What we are talking about, should a CME occur, while the Earth's magnetic field is weakened or in a state of reorganization?
Is Earth headed to a north and south pole reversal? A look at the archaeological record in southern Africa provides more information.

I always watch with amusement, the heated discussions around the origins of humans, and those who don't believe in the "theory," of evolution. "Where are these transitional species," is always the question asked. Which is, after all, a good question. Folks that have studied evolution, would have heard of "punctuated evolution," but then? That leaves us with the question, what major event caused such widespread mutations in flora and fauna, creating mass spectacular evolutionary events, all at once, and then, a stabilization of the all species afterward? Leaving little, to no, "transitory," species in the fossil record? What could do that?
What indeed?
And? They always tend to happen, at somewhat regular intervals.

The Role of Geomagnetic Field Intensity in Late Quaternary Evolution of Humans and Large Mammals
So. . . if "we," as a species survive, maybe those who do, will be a little less. . . well, combative, power hungry, and selfish. But who knows. It will probably be the elites in Deep Underground bases, and those up top that will evolve into something else?
Maybe, as HG Wells foresaw, we will branch into two different species? Perhaps the global elites have foreseen this for some time?
Human species 'may split in two'
Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said
