We liberated Europe from fascism, but they will never forgive us for it.
Hey there Gator. Seems to me there's a very real possibility of Alberta going its own way, not so much with B.C., though. If Alberta did go, would...

Glad to see Dr. Malhotra as part of the MAHA team. Certainly a step in the right direction and long overdue. Meanwhile in Canada nothing of the...
Can I point out, the obvious? It’s impossible in nature for a child to catch all three Mumps measles and Rubella all at the same time! So it’s...

The causal chain of solar activity doesn't end with sunspots, rather they are just the sources of coronal mass ejection (CME) events like this series that's happening now.
As the story mentions, CME's have one effect of compressing the Earth's protective electromagnetic sheath. And that's a good thing, from the standpoint of protecting the Earth from cosmic rays. The effect of compressing a volume proceeds by the inverse cube law, so the effect of even modest field diameter changes can be quite significant.
That satellites in geosynchronous orbits are endangered by the incoming avalanche of charged particles is merely an inconvenience.
Compression of the Earth's electromagnetic sheath and the corresponding increase in shielding from cosmic rays will help to mitigate recent global cooling due to cloud formation triggered by cosmic rays.
We need more solar activity like this, not less of it, if we are to escape another global climate cooling event lasting decades to centuries, or even another Ice Age - and those last for thousands of years.
So I, for one welcome sunspots and CMEs and the auroras they create. Paradoxically, the Earth (not human activity) seems to have created more heat in the recent past - the last 50 years or so - and now it needs to radiate that heat into space, not trap it and disrupt the jet streams or - heaven forbid - the Gulf Stream and Japanese Current, among other things, because shutting down those transfers risks development of unstable climate patterns, and possibly even a combination of oppressive summer heat - especially in the tropics - with really killing winter cold, mostly in the temperate, well populated areas.
