#1 Still seeing EM Skybursts/Flashes oer GUAM-WESTPAC.

ION RENSE/REDDIT > THE SUN'S PROTECTIVE BUBBLE IS SHRINKING [down 25% in last 10 years]. More Cosmic-Slar radiation means more electrical equipment glithes = static, Satellite damage, + in long-run possib damage/harm to all life on earth.

As said or inferred before, 9-11/WOT > SIRIUS EFECT + SUNSPOTS/FLARES + "GLOBAL WARMING = VALIDATION/JUSTIFICATION OF SOLAR MODELS-THEORIES. Iff the Perts' Solar Models, etc. are WRONG - AGAIN - so-called "GLOBAL COOLING" = "NEW ICE AGES" may devol into per se GLOBAL SLUSHING/SLEETING/DAMPNESS, AND NOT MORE THAN SAME - May NOT even classify as a MINI-"ICE AGE"???

D *** NG IT, MORIARITY, WE CAN'T HAVE BUG-ZILLAS, BIRD-ZILLAS, PLANT-ZILLAS and SEA-ZILLAS, ETC. WITHOUT GOD-ZILLA, NOW CAN WE!?

[Darth Vader breathing here].

* VARIOUS NET POSTERS > HOPE/PRINE FOR PAN-DIMENSIONAL BLACK HOLES TO ESCAPE WARMING. ALso tend to suppor dev of SPACE PROPULSION SUPER-TECHS/SYS as the closest star system is aproxi 1000 light years away and no way will anything from Earth survive or travel that far vee PRESENT OR NEAR-TERM SPACE TECHNOLOGIES.

IOW, AT CURRENT TECH LEVELS, IFF THE SUN ASTEROID ANDOR GAMMA RAY BURST, ...........@ETC AND MONSTER X/KING GHIDERA DOESN'T DESTROY THE EARTH, LACK OF WARP SPEED ENGINES FOR HUMAN-SAVING SPACE ARKS WILL! The GREEN ORION BABES will find nuthin' but Milyuhns and Zilyuhns of ancient dry skeletons = skeletal dust on dem Orion-arriving Space Arks from Earth, and what fun would that be!?

#3 Hey Joe,

Thats a pretty dark post.

I know where you are coming from. All sorts of grim shit might go down, and who knows if the human race will make it. Cosmic rays, global dampness, no propulsion engine (yet) that will allow spaceward expansion, and the ongoing risk of some asteroid changing our shape and colour. As Heinlein said "no-one wants to be bedmates with a cosmic catastrophe".

But, you gotta keep a positive outlook. Humans adapt and improvise. Genius arises, unpredictably, but it arises. In the meantime, enjoy the ride.
