Complete Mayhem! Prepare Now Warns Scientist, Severe Space Weather Events Coming

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A massive ejection of material from the sun initially traveling at over 7 million miles per hour that narrowly missed Earth last year is an event solar scientists hope will open the eyes of policymakers regarding the impacts and mitigation of severe space weather, says a University of Colorado Boulder professor.Coronal mass ejections (or CMEs) are huge bubbles of gas threaded with magnetic field lines that are ejected from the Sun over the course of several hour

The coronal mass ejection, or CME, event was likely more powerful than the famous Carrington storm of 1859, when the sun blasted Earth’s atmosphere hard enough twice to light up the sky from the North Pole to Central America and allowed New Englanders to read their newspapers at night by aurora light, said CU-Boulder Professor Daniel Baker. Had it hit Earth, the July 2012 event likely would have created a technological disaster by short-circuiting satellites, power grids, ground communication equipment and even threatening the health of astronauts and aircraft crews, he said.

CMEs are part of solar storms and can send billions of tons of solar particles in the form of gas bubbles and magnetic fields off the sun’s surface and into space. The storm events essentially peel Earth’s magnetic field like an onion, allowing energetic solar wind particles to stream down the field lines to hit the atmosphere over the poles.

Fortunately, the 2012 solar explosion occurred on the far side of the rotating sun just a week after that area was pointed toward Earth, said Baker, a solar scientist and the director of CU-Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. But NASA’s STEREO-A, satellite that was flying ahead of the Earth as the planet orbited the sun, captured the event, including the intensity of the solar wind, the interplanetary magnetic field and a rain of solar energetic particles into space.

“My space weather colleagues believe that until we have an event that slams Earth and causes complete mayhem, policymakers are not going to pay attention,” he said. “The message we are trying to convey is that we made direct measurements of the 2012 event and saw the full consequences without going through a direct hit on our planet.”

Baker will give a presentation on the subject at the 46th Annual Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union held in San Francisco Dec. 9 to Dec. 13.

While typical coronal mass ejections from the sun take two or three days to reach Earth, the 2012 event traveled from the sun’s surface to Earth in just 18 hours. “The speed of this event was as fast or faster than anything that has been seen in the modern space age,” said Baker. The event not only had the most powerful CME ever recorded, but it would have triggered one of the strongest geomagnetic storms and the highest density of particle fluctuation ever seen in a typical solar cycle, which last roughly 11 years.

“We have proposed that the 2012 event be adopted as the best estimate of the worst case space weather scenario,” said Baker, who chaired a 2008 National Research Council committee that produced a report titled Severe Space Weather Events – Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts. “We argue that this extreme event should be immediately employed by the space weather community to model severe space weather effects on technological systems such as the electrical power grid.

“I liken it to war games — since we have the information about the event, let’s play it through our various models and see what happens,” Baker said. “If we do this, we would be a significant step closer to providing policymakers with real-world, concrete kinds of information that can be used to explore what would happen to various technologies on Earth and in orbit rather than waiting to be clobbered by a direct hit.”

Even though it occurred about 150 years ago, the Carrington storm was memorable from a natural beauty standpoint as well as its technological impacts, he said. The event disrupted telegraph communications — the Internet of the Victorian Age — around the world, sparking fires at telegraph offices that caused several deaths, he said.

A 1989 geomagnetic storm caused by a CME from a solar storm in March 1989 resulted in the collapse of Hydro-Quebec’s electricity transmission system, causing 6 million people to lose power for at least nine hours, said Baker. The auroras from the event could be seen as far south as Texas and Florida.

“The Carrington storm and the 2012 event show that extreme space weather events can happen even during a modest solar cycle like the one presently underway,” said Baker. “Rather than wait and pick up the pieces, we ought to take lessons from these events to prepare ourselves for inevitable future solar storms.”

      Prepare NOW accept Jesus as you personal savor.. Other wise you WON’T be able to prepare enough as you will experience for yourselves Heathens!

      • Fr.Duffy Fighting 69th

        Like a game of cosmic Russian roulette, it is only a matter of time before we get a direct hit – total grid shutdown and complete social mayhem. Get close to Jesus now while there is still time. http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com

        • Louis

          The way you get “close” to Jesus is by living in the state of grace — avoiding sin and receiving the sacraments that cleanse the soul.

        • Plastics Man

          Good lord, looks like you took a big swig from the can labeled moron, didn’t you?

        • Fr.Duffy Fighting 69th

          Really Plastics Man, looks like you go through a case of Moron every week.

      • DOOMSDAY!

        I agree with this.

      • Bronson

        I noticed in the area, that they really geared up on the Chem Trails. The Sun finally came out after the cold front. Then they start spewing chemicals from planes, like huge grids in the sky in every direction as far as one could see on a clear day. Is this some sort of shielding from the Sun? The blue sky turned into a weird type of cloudy sky just in a short time, after they spewed the chem trails.
        Also do they really know enough to predict the outcome from using these chemicals in the atmosphere?
        If they are bonding these particles with helium there is no telling what the outcome would be…..The haze wold most likely be permanent in nature, being just heavy enough not to leak out into space. This could be a disaster, as the atmosphere tends to clean itself. The bonding of particles, should not happen. Looking at the Disasters around the planet, there are fools that call themselves scientist that know nothing about how our Planet works. They only know enough to be very dangerous.

      • anarchialdesire

        Did your parents have any children that lived? Because if not that would be a better way to salvation, knowing that your kind is probably only 1 generation from extinction. If you have siblings I’m getting off the planet because Christians scare me. Anybody who believes in imaginary figures cannot be trusted. On that note I leave with this…

        Christianity is a pagan adaptation for Sun worship…MORONSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

        Wanna worship Jesus wake up at sunrise idiotsssssssssss

        • SOM1

          wrong, I was near death one night and when I had picked up a small green Gideon NT sitting on the bar in a last effort of hope when suddenly as soon as I had begun to open just the cover an audible voice sitting to my left called my name then said “I am Jesus, I died for your sins, believe in Me and you will never perish”

          previous to this I had thought it was all just something for the weak minded, the accuracy of the scriptures is astounding, even the sound of the spelling of Jesus-

          And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest Acts9

          Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. John5

      • LOL Jesus Died

        Or if you know you don’t believe in that kind of thing just stay sharp.

    • Anonamoos in the hoose

      These CME have ALWAYS been ejected from the sun, what the so-called scientists are not telling you is that when the sun travels on its path through space these cme’s push out on the sides of it. like jets. There is NO threat from these cme’s.
      This is a fear campaign and it will be used as an excuse to set off a FF event. Perhaps this should be promotes on this website instead of the one they going to kill the sheep with.

      • DOOMSDAY!

        OBVIOUSLY YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE OTHER FACTORS RELEASING OTHER THINGS. AMONG THEM DEBRIS BIG ENOUGH TO HARM EARTH!

        • Anonamoos in the hoose

          I am just talking about CME’S, nothing else. We will not be harmed from anything from the sun, if you knew how we are dragged in 3D space by the sun you would understand this. Many other things could harm the planet by crossing its path.

      • vector theta

        Neither Doomsday, nor Anonamoos have a clue what they are talking about! Please tell me where in a giant spherical ball of gasses undergoing nuclear fusion, are the sun’s “sides” or where the “giant debris that could harm the earth” comes from? They are absolutely wrong! It is totally insincere of these two to post when they obviously do not have any education about what they write!

        CME’s happen occasionally, especially during this time of the solar cycle. CME’s are solar flares that build up in the area of sunspots and explode, releasing superheated plasma from the sun’s corona radially outward. The Earth gets hit with these occasionally, but the magnitude of its energy is not high enough to do damage. In this article we learned about 2 of the most energetic CMEs to hit the Earth. The Carrington event in 1859, which did major damage, was rated X40 or higher and the Canadian event, which knocked out their power grid for a while and also affected our New England area, was an X20. CMEs DO hit the earth and it is only a matter of time before another one big enough to do damage will occur. The CME only effects the side of the earth facing the sun at the time of the event, so timing is everything. The Earth revolves around the sun and rotates at the same time, so it is all in the cards as to which part of the Earth will be facing the sun at the time. However, eventually, a CME that is large enough to do damage WILL strike the USA. It will permanently take out the power grid, fry all electronics that are not protected by a Faraday device, and throw us back into the early 1800′s! It is NOT a question about “if”, but “WHEN!!!”
        The whole point of this article is that the scientists are trying to educate the politicians and get them to do something about at least protecting our power grid!!! This is very important and not a fear campaign! Should this happen in our near future, all the people on welfare who believe in receiving from others as opposed to getting a second and/or third job and making themselves self sufficient, will be without food and hungry. The average family household only has 2-3 days worth of food on hand. There will not be food or water because there will be no way to transport it to the store or to homes. The government fat cats will be safe in their DUMBS while hundreds of thousands of citizens die of dehydration and starvation. The welfare leaches will riot and kill others just to get food for themselves, ie zombies. This situation would be the real deal, no false flag involved. It will happen sometime, however. The only question is “When?”

        • DOOMSDAY!

          NICE REPLY HOWEVER I ONLY MENTION THAT CME AND DEBRIS CAN AFFECT EARTH! BOTH CAN! AND CME CAN HAVE DEBRIS TRAVELING WITH IT. IT CAN MOST LIKELY ATTRACT DEBRIS.

    • wizard

      In a universe of infinite possibility any thing could BE. But saying you know what is yet to be is not possible. :smile:

      • WarAngel77711

        False. Knowing what is to come is possible. Knowing how it all plays out and what the end results will be is not.

    • Anonymous

      The MASONS have spoken. they will fire satt-based lazer plasma balls and claims its meteors striking cities. NASA and the Jasons and MJ12 are father of the lies. fffff Em!

      • DOOMSDAY!

        COMBO BREAKER!

        THE ALIENS WILL INTERVENE AND STOP THAT FILTH!

    • DRAUGR

      Of course there will be another “Carrington Event” or even worse. The Earth will suffer catastrophic floods, Earthquakes, droughts, pandemics and even a few life ending collisions with meteors & comments. The question has never been “If” these events will transpire but rather “when”.
      Only a fool walks through life, wringing his hands, worrying & worrying that something will kill him when from the time he had aged enough to reason he already knew he was destined to die.
      We all from a very young age understand that we too shall one day die. This is a terrible burden for any creature. To have to go through all the pain, heartache and turmoil that makes up everyone’s existence only to know that it really is all for nothing.
      But, and this is a very big “but.” Knowing what we know about dying there are some of us that believe that somehow it is not the end of you, as an individual when the body finally breaks down and dies.
      For those of us that believe this, the doubt, the feeling of futility and even the fear is not gone, but it surely is diminished. Having had to be resuscitated myself I can tell you that the body’s death is certainly not the end. Though I was not allowed to venture further I did get a glimpse. And oh what a glimpse I got. With no intention to offend anyone but rather put the experience into some form of words that may translate my experience, let me say, where I was after my body died then coming back to this type of existence would be, in comparison to being in Heaven for just a few moments and then suddenly being thrust back into hell.

      • vector theta

        Very well written and very true DRAUGR! I hope others read and absorb your wisdom!

    • YellowRoseTx51

      NASA lies – ABOUT EVERYTHING.
      Not just one thing, but every single thing they talk about or put out to the public.

      The truth is that the Carrington event was the last time there was a major assault on the NET that was put over the Earth during the War.

      They want you to panic. That’s the truth. If you are panicking then you are not coming after them for doing this to you. That’s their reasoning. The Criminally Insane never make any sense to a normal human being.

      This time, the NET will come down. It is going to completely shock the masses when they see for the first time, beyond that blue hologram. That’s when they will finally catch on…they are not in their original location and they have been prisoners of War.

      It is the Father of the branch of Man, whom we call ‘God’. His alliance is now ready to pull the net off of the planet so that we can be pulled out of the Abyss, where we ‘fell’ into during the War. Everyone gets the red pill. You are not going to die, as NASA implies, but you ARE going to be moved back out of the Abyss.

      • vector theta

        Come on now YellowRoseTx51! The Carrington event happened in 1859! I have been on the “net” since before algore invented it. I assure you that the NSA, AT&T, DARPA and others pieced the “net” together well over a hundred years AFTER the Carrington event! Furthermore, the Canadian event in 1989 DID occur! Sure, we can false flag create major grid power failures, but we have neither the technology, nor the power to create the auroras seen everywhere as far south as Florida, Texas and Cuba! I personally saw them in central Oklahoma.
        Yes, NASA and our government lies to us. TPTB (international bankers) do want us to panic. They are afraid of the real truth becoming too widespread, so they will have their willing heathen puppen, our illegal usurping president soetoro to pull the plug on the internet if a natural event, such as a very high X-class CME does not do the job first. In no way does any of this effect real God fearing people. Our real, everlasting life begins after the tribulation period of the Revelations in the Holy Bible. We are just here on Earth temporarily during our short, evaluation life.
        If, per chance, you are referring to the net like in the Matrix movies, that is fiction and did not exist in 1859 and does not now. What war? The war between good and evil has been happening since Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden. These days, people are either real God fearing people doing their utmost best to live by God’s commandments and rules, or have allowed themselves to be suckered under the devil’s control by trying to fit the “norm” as put forth by the devil’s corporate media, hollywood and music.

      Is it funding season again? This article is short on fact and long on rhetoric. About midway through it gets all apologetic about needing to throw lots of moolah into the mix. It’s science with it’s hand out using borderline fear porn to gain resources by coercion.

      Give them the funding, CME’s are interesting enough but wouldn’t it be hilarious if after everything is said and done all we get is a new and improved Faraday cage?

      I’ve seen all those photos all the time. They show nothing new.

      The big event could be only the passage of planet X. As called by someone hercolubus or whatever, shown on 2-3 slides of NASA instruments when Ison passed by. Shown in a way the public that follows Ison cannot miss it. NASA leaked it themselves, no conspiracy here.

      Major Ed Dames singled out two events preceding it: first, bringing down spaceship crew for safety. ICC has experienced troubles with the pump of air. That is big enough trouble that if unfixed may bring all of them down with Soyus spaceships docked at it.

      Second event: North Korean nuclear explosion, not a test. The execution of Kim’s uncle is a big enough event. The North’s leaders find someone so close inside the system to disagree to the extend to be executed. To disagree on what so important, if not an attack, a nuclear attack? Prepare for the worst!

      Besides all that, Putin restarts Arctic Bases frozen with snow and ice during the Arctic Night, instead of attending the funeral of Mandela! His vice-PM practically third in rank and former defense official Rogozin warned USA of a nuclear response to a non-nuclear ICBM with conventional warhead. If you don’t call it warning, I don’t know what it could be. If they know Planet X is coming let say around the Viking End Date Feb 23, what are several dozen more nukes for them?

      • Raphael

        International space station ISS of course I mean that, not ICC, lapsus lingue.
