[QUOTE=smurfy;28108164]Strongest flare in four years?
:what:[/QUOTE]
We were hit by it around 2003
Tinfoil hats go a long way to the protection of important grey matter.
We have angered the Gods!
This thread is full of :downs:
This is for those who thinks solar storms can take out electricity. It can't. THe governments are messin with you.
FUCK. I FEEL IT!!!! I FEEELLLLL IT! AHHHHHHHGGHFHHFJSDIDASK.
ok.
omg we're gonna die!
Hold on, Doesn't electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light? So we would only know about it when it hit us...
[QUOTE=cherry gmod;28114029]Hold on, Doesn't electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light? So we would only know about it when it hit us...[/QUOTE]
Its already hit us!
Actually from the sun to the earth it takes about 8 minutes for light to travel iirc.
reads title "oh boy"
"strongest flare in 4 years" :raise:
No wonder why all the snow is melting so quickly, it actually started to rain here today. during winter.
Rained here too.

My point being, the time it takes for the light to reach our eyes so that we can "see" it would be the same time for the electromagnetic radiation to hit us, ie 8 minutes.
[QUOTE=MasterG;28121847]Causation =/= correlation. Is it impossible to suggest that an increase in temperature leads to an increase in CO2 levels rather than the other way around? In which case:
Sunspot activity causes temperature increases which causes CO2 levels to rise.
Also, let's ignore the average climactic temperature decreasing during the industrial revolution, shall we?[/QUOTE]
It's not impossible but it's extremely unlikely. You're acting like the whole argument for CO2 being related to climate change rests on a few graphs slapped together in a forum post. Read the peer reviewed papers, the IPCC reports, the journals and you'll see how ridiculous the argument for CO2 playing no part in global warming really is.
Granted, it's much easier to come across and read the ramblings on some climate change denier's blog than search around for scientific papers that are probably beyond the scope of anyone who doesn't have some sort of scientific background, and ultimately it's this difficulty that leads to so many people disbelieving something that has near-insurmountable evidence.
I think that a lot of the global warming-denial comes from people who just don't want to accept what is happening.

I could see light from the aurora borealis in Chesham, SE England (I couldn't see the aurora itself unfortunately, but the sky was bright green at one point)
Just waiting for the sun to burn us all up.

what if we all get super powers
Wow what a fucking dick, what'd we ever do to him?
He got pissed and gave anyone cancer.
The sun reminds me of a teenager

No, but given that we know that CO2 traps heat it would be pretty silly.

Skip to 8 minutes and 35 seconds.It's explained by an actually physicist.[/QUOTE]
not going to do nothing = it's going to do something

it's so simpleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
We did have some strange storms here in my hometown last week i think, it rocked the shit out us and properly scared nearly everyone to death. It was so close.

not those kind of storms...
Yeah I know, no need to dumb rate me. In after more dumb ratings. Just making a observation.
Hope it doesn't hit when i'm Minecrafting or at college. That is, if it's strong enough.
Life will move on, won't end up doing anything I bet.
