Last may the dire event predictors were busy generating that very fear in some of the media reporting. The resultant solar storm really was quite spectacular.

The thing about the Carrington event was that it was recorded as well as it could be for the time. There's a way down the road to determine when a larger or smaller events occur. All we have to do is record the rise in global carbon 14 levels. We'll know in about a year.

The Carrington even in the 1800's caused a rise in the global C-14 level of about one percent. If last May's level 5 solar storm were comparable the C-14 levels will have risen by around one percent as well.

StarTalk did a nice episode on the coming solar maximum. It got a little flakey on info and that's when it was admitted we simply don't know because we aren't much more capable than that event.

I'm reminded of the last episode of the walking dead I watched. With the world falling apart all around and zombies attacking them, Rick and the Governor where too busy fighting each other to handle the real issue of the world falling apart and zombies attacking.

Stopped watching because I don't think the show could possibly have a more accurate assessment of the human condition. I hear it went down hill from there.
