The 1859 Carrington Event (powerful CME from our sun) caused the polar drift already underway to do a complete 180 degree reversal in direction. In the past few years, the drift has been accelerating to an unprecedented speed, and at the same time, earth's rotation has been speeding up to the fastest ever recorded.

Could be some exciting times ahead.

Impressive how even saidit peeps don't seem interested. I mean, it's ONLY the fate of civilization, the planet and the entire human species...

Hm, yeah let's go back to talking about how reddit is so unhealthy. Right?

I think people have heard so much propaganda about "the climate" that they're inclined to tune out this kind of thing. Plus it's off in the future, and there's real stuff happening right now that could get many of us killed way before our sun burps.

It's a fascinating phenomenon, but in this world it's only going to appeal to a niche group, at least until it gets closer and the signs are more irrefutable.

Good to see you on those other sites!

When the signs become irrefutable, it'll be happening right THEN. A micronova makes the Sun look odd for what, a week before new microtektites form on the ground? I'm not saying there's an easy way out of this ELE either... Musk might be on to something...
