The #1 Risk To Earth (A must watch)

Ben Davidson explains how the sun can trigger the #1 risk to earth, based on severity and likelihood, and the current state of earth’s magnetic reversal, including how our protection from solar energy is weakening with it. In the second half of 2015 several minor solar upticks (100x weaker than ‘big’ ones) caused geomagnetic events we would expect from the only the largest flares every decade or so. This trend is expected to continue and it is not a pretty picture for the coming decades.

Ben is the Director and Founder of Space Weather News, The Mobile Observatory Project, The Disaster Prediction App, SpaceWeatherNews.com, Suspicious0bservers.org, MagneticReversal.org, QuakeWatch.net, ObservatoryProject.com, and the Suspicious0bservers YouTube Channel, with more than 260,000 minds alert to what the mainstream deems ‘unimportant’.

    Dino, I was just watching those left over critters from the great impact hopping in my front yard looking for worms and bugs and looking out for those nasty feral cats. Probably should let CO2 get to at least 1000 parts per million and see if that is enough to support very good environment. It just gets me when someone looks at some math results showing correlation and then shoots off into the that-indicates- causation thing. That is as bad as the fantasy world that those who try to reify mathematics live in.

    Wow, allosaur, that was spot on. You are very brave to have said all that on Earth Day. You are definitely going to be fined and go to jail. I would visit you, but I'll probably be in there with you. I celebrated Earth Day by throwing an aluminum soda pop can in the trash instead of into the recycle bin. I feel very rebellious.

    Both...You can see the progression at suspicious0bservers.org,
    I myself don't think they will reverse...hasn't happened in 780K years...used to be a cycle...so my thought on this is...what changed? But it's clear that they are rapidly moving toward each other.

    Hey, only the great Al Gore can talk about an inconvenient truth, and shame on you for trying to talk above the ozone in his head in the first place.
    (Psst, I'm selling hits of pure carbon dioxide gas. House and garden plants just love the product).

    Good point about the wires...got the doors and window figured out.
    I read a paper a long time ago that stated that a solar or cosmic emp would produce a wave that was too big to effect the tiny electronics we have these days. Lost site of the link a while back.
    My problem is that there are too many things of interest to me.

    I wonder how they'll blame us for solar flares from the sun....liberal chicken little's think the darnedest things...

    Don't know...but if their were, I think they would of figured out the problem if they got this far.

    To declare causation, all factors must be known to pick out the factors from a correlation which indicates causation. Causation implies correlation but correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
    The law of cause and effect is another way of saying that nature is consistent.
    In the case of the Earth-Sun-planets system, causation is hard to come by in most cases of correlation and especially hard when dealing with interactions between Earth and radiation from the sun and cosmic radiation. Sometimes all you have is a correlation and if there is no correlation there cannot be a hypothesis dealing with causation. Sometimes it is difficult to find the factors that are the causation. Take for example highway deaths. There is a correlation to average number of highway deaths per 100,000 population to which side of the highway drivers drive on. Drivers in countries driving on the right side in 1990 had a death rate of 20 per 100000 population while in countries driving on the left side had a death rate of about 12 per 100000 population. What is the cause of the difference in death rates, i.e., what factors are necessary and sufficient to make those correlations into a causal situation?

    Is this part of the reason why we have not found lots of space faring civilizations knocking on our doors?

    The tricky parts in implementing any Faraday Cage are 1) that the cage itself must be of sufficient density that the spaces between the bars are smaller than the wavelength of the smallest signal you wish to prevent from reaching the inside of the Cage and 2) that the device within the Cage must be separated by a non-conductive ground from everything else (including the Cage itself) and 3) that the Cage must completely surround the item to be protected and 4) the Cage must be electrically grounded. Basically, if you want to protect something by a Cage, it has to be totally cut off from everything in the environment. A radio is only protected if it is in a cage or anti-static bag, but it also can't be in use!

    If you want to turn your garage into a Cage, the first steps you have are good. The challenges are going to be the doors and windows ;) I would also keep in mind that any electrical wires leading from outside the garage to inside violate the Cage... Buildings are incredibly tough to Cage.

    Except for the polar shifts, (no causation factor)-Yet, YES I am.

    I'm on to you and taking the side of the PC'ers even jokingly will not save you buddy...Laughing my butt off...and there it goes.........................

    A simple metal cage, chicken wire or a metal filling cabinet is all it takes.

    I plan on insulating my garage...something I haven't gotten to...I now think that when I do, I would put chicken wire on the beams after insulating and put the sheetrock over that.
    Should protect my cars also...just a thought.

    Herb...you get another source of power, a little extra to eat and a metal filling cabinet or a metal cage (dog cage) to protect your electronics...yea, that's all it takes buddy...

    better keep this one quiet. our government will want a "solar flare" tax to collect more money from us under the guise of mitigating solar flare damage.

    Yes, only the especially peculiar THEM to what is not the new normal may be treated as special in lock step with our more than equal elite betters who think for us.

    There are certain benefits to being old. With everything there is to worry about, now we need to toss solar flares into the mix. I was a lot happier not knowing this, plus there is nothing I can do about it except to build a complete underground shelter. (See 10 Cloverfield Place). And I'm not about to do that. There are times when it may well be better to be ignorant, at least in my case.. "If ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." All you younger folks, now armed with apocalyptic knowledge -- will at least know that when all electricity goes down, you were warned. And that helps, how?

    Unless Olduglycarl decides he's actually a "she", and illegal and Muslim and maybe physically HC. THEN, one can say whatever they want and there will be crowds in the street in support. sigh

    What? Olduglycarl, are you actually trying to prove that a wild natural fiery gas bag for a gigantic nuclear furnace in the center of our solar system can do actually unpredictable stuff that may effect earth?
    Such as changes in the weather like climate change perhaps?
    Whoa! Even to the point of causing magnetic polar shifts?
    Oh, how quaint! And, oh, how PC insensitive to a whole host of college-aged EcoNazis who might now need go have a good cry in their designated safe spaces.
    You meanie!
    Freedom of speech no linger applies to manmade climate change deniers..
    Hope you know you could be sued. DOJ fuhrer Roberta Lynch and a several state attorney generals are behind such an initiative.
    So you need to be more careful of what you write, of what you say, and even of what you freaking think.
    BIG BROTHER SHALL BE WATCHING YOU!
    So what you need to do is sit down and shut up.
    The parasite infestation called mankind is responsible for all climate wrongs on this polluted with people planet!
