There's a storm brewing.....

This is from a NASA article:

"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms."

People don't want to hear about solar storms and coronal mass ejections.  They think them similar to the Easter Bunny, pure fantasy.

It's only when there is mass hysteria and chaos from huge power disruptions and other effects of the blasts that people become interested. Even then it's short lived.

It's all really a moot point anyway.  We are done here in 2012. :roll:
