Solar Flares could cause electromagnetic pulse - This video will
educate you on all the hype about Extreme Solar flares and the potential
of a electromagnetic pulse knocking out our planets archaic electrical
grid system that we depend on - just a simple over use of the grid
system causes black outs so no doubt it is very fragile to solar
radiation that gets through our atmosphere.

November 19 2013 Breaking News Sun Fires Off Powerful Solar Flare http://www.space.com/23651-powerful-s...
The
general consensus in the community of scientists and military who deal
with EMP (electromagnetic pulse) on a day to day basis, is that a solar
or military EMP is not a question of if, it is only a question of when.
An EMP takes out electric grids taking out major cities very dangerous
for mankind,
On November 5, 2013, the Sun brightened when an
X-class solar flare—the largest so far this year—burst from a large,
active sunspot. The flare followed a series of more than a two dozen
flares that have occurred since October 21, though the November 5 flare
originated in a different active region. The event was classified an
X3.3 flare, falling into the category of most intense explosions.
Since
solar flares heat and distort the ionosphere, they can interfere with
radio communication. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center warned of a
potential blackout of shortwave radio communication for about an hour
after the November 5 flare. This type of communication is often used for
long-range aviation, amateur radio, and emergency communication. Beyond
radio interference, the flare did not affect Earth.
In
1859 a huge solar storm burned out telegraph wires across Europe and
the United States. Dr Stuart Clark has written a book, The Sun Kings,
about when that happened. He says that the "Carrington flare", as it was
known, "smothered two-thirds of the Earth's skies in a blood-red aurora
a night later, and crippled all of global navigation and global
communication, such as it was at that time. Compasses span uselessly
and the telegraph network went down as phantom electricity surged
through the wire."
The sun had indeed been running at a record
high for the latter half of the 20th century, and has now died down to
its lowest level for a century. But Dr Clark warns that "average levels
of solar activity has fallen does not mean that the Sun is immune from
large flares or even giant ones. Low average levels of activity may even
promote the giant flares.
"Perhaps like earthquakes, when there
are constant flares/tremors the energy is dissipated evenly over long
periods of time. But in periods of quiet, that energy can build up and
then suddenly be released in a giant event. This remains speculation,
however."
if a proper "Carrington event" happens again, it has
the potential to be far more problematic now than in 1859 when electric
communication was barely in its infancy. Dr Clark says
sooner or
later we should expect there to be another Carrington event and that is
what these scientists [at NASA] are trying to prevent. Legislation in
the US has just passed Congress to help harden the grid against solar
flares."
So -- it's a real thing, and we should be concerned. But
preventive measures can be taken -- satellites can be sent offline
during big flares, power grids and communication networks can be
shielded against electromagnetic radiation and so on. As Dr Bamford
says: "The extreme events like the 1859 Carrington Event are
1-in-100-year probabilities, about the same probability as a storm of
the level of Katrina hitting New Orleans -- and New Orleans did not
build their defences to withstand the extreme-magnitude. The Katrina
catastrophy is small compared to getting hit with solar flares.
NOAA
Space W Dr Ruth Bamford, a plasma physicist at the Rutherford-Appleton
Laboratory, agrees: "The sun has been particularly quiet for the last
few years in a protracted solar minimum. It has just woken up, as it
were, and started its usual 11-year cycle a bit later than most."
