Kudos, Diamond Oppenheimer Ranch Project Forward, Ray Langella The Attached Article talks about how a Carrington Like Event would affect our modern day society today. “If the equivalent of a Carrington Event took place today, it would cause major damage to infrastructure which obviously did not exist in 1859" However, and with all due respect the Solar Flare and Coronal Mass Objection resulting in the Geomagnetic Solar Storm of 1859 was not a worse case scenario. Back in 1859 there was not much in the way of Electronics except Telegraph Lines. So, while Telegraph Lines may have been fried at least there was no Power Grid to speak of. In fact in 1859 we were still experimenting with ways to harness and produce electricity. This of course is no comparison to today's Cell Phone Society. Could you imagine if a Carrington Event to place today. You are stopped at a Traffic Light and your car stops running. In fact, you look around and no ones car is running. The Lights at the intersection are no longer working. You're 20 Miles from home and your Cell Phone no longer works. What do you do? Putting aside all the aforementioned Technology we rely on today for a minute the possibility of an equal to or greater Severe Space Weather Event is a very real prospect. To make matters worse the Earth's Magnetic Field which normally protects us from such events is Waning. Thus making the chances of a Severe Space Weather Event and the grid going down even more likely. Want more details check out the links below!

Weather, 11 March The Sun Drives Climate
This Section of the Web Site will deal with all things related to our Solar Driven Climate. Yes, that Big, Beautiful Light Bulb in the Sky that gives us warmth! However, the Sun is not always so kind and sometimes takes a bit of a break in the form of a Grand Solar Minimum and Possibly a Super Grand Solar Minimum. You may also call it Solar Hibernation. No matter what you call it, mankind does not do well in the cold. In fact, in the very near future we may be begging for some Man Made Global Warming! With that in mind and with all the talk about warming are you prepared for cooling? By The Way! We are not just talking about a bad winter or two!
