It's the end of the world as you know it... Our Sun Is Going Into A 'Lockdown' And This Might Cause Earthquakes, Famines, Freezing Weather https://www.indiatimes.com/technolo...thquakes-famines-freezing-weather-513393.html Activities on the surface of the sun keep fluctuating with time. While several phenomena are associated with the period when there is an increase in their frequency, there is also a period of solar minimum that marks the opposite. Experts now believe that a deep solar minimum is underway. Our sun is currently believed to in a period of solar minimum wherein the activity on its surface has fallen dramatically. As per some experts, this might be the onset of the deepest period of solar minimum or sunshine recession ever recorded. Experts are pointing out that the sunspots on the sun have virtually disappeared. For those unaware, sunspot number is used to quantify the number of sunspots present on the surface of the sun at any given time. It is the only index for which humans have a long and detailed historical record. Though it has now been replaced with modern indices indices such as the 10.7 centimetre solar flux. Astronomer Dr. Tony Phillips explains that the “Sunspot counts suggest it is one of the deepest of the past century. The sun’s magnetic field has become weak, allowing extra cosmic rays into the solar system,” in a report by The Sun. In 2020, the sun has been “blank,” with no sunspots 76 percent of the time. A rate higher than this was recorded only once before, i.e. last year, when it was 77 percent blank. Catastrophic effects “Excess cosmic rays pose a health hazard to astronauts and polar air travelers, affect the electro-chemistry of Earth’s upper atmosphere and may help trigger lightning,” Dr. Phillips explains in The Sun report. The sun’s lockdown has historically led to a catastrophic period between 1790 and 1830. Called Dalton Minimum, the period experienced “brutal cold, crop loss, famine and powerful volcanic eruptions,” the report mentions. NASA scientists now fear that the recent sunspot recordings can be an indication of such things about to repeat. A temperature drop of up to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) was observed over the 20 years, destroying the world’s food production and causing famine. The period also observed the historic ‘Year Without a Summer’ - 1816. The year is nicknamed “eighteen hundred and froze to death” and experienced a snow in July in many regions.
lots of fringe sites peddling this one. https://heavy.com/news/2020/05/sun-lockdown-solar-minimum/ Here’s What A Solar Minimum Is And Why NASA Says It’s Nothing To Worry About According to NASA, even if a prolonged grand solar minimum were to take place — which would occur over a decade — the warming from greenhouse gas emissions is six times greater than any cooling the minimum could produce. As a result, the globe would continue to warm.
Pennlive is a "fringe site"? It is the largest newspaper in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. The India Times is the third-largest newspaper in India by circulation. FOX news obviously is the most watched cable media outlet in the U.S. Times Now is the largest English language news channel in India and is majority owned by Reuters. So much for your fringe site nonsense.
Yes they are, so what? They want your clicks, NASA doesn't so rely on NASA, who cares about CNN or MSNBC?
These are pretty much the same people who are giving us all the Covid projections. You don't believe this nonsense but buy everything they tell us about the virus and what to do about it? Just sayin.
Every post in this thread was referring to media disclosure of such dire events as the end of the world as we know it unless drastic measures are immediately taken. Always the same game plan, we're all gonna die. No time for questions, no time to think, no time for discussion, just do it now or death is certain.
It is called clickbait.....eveyr news agency and website needs clicks to get advertising revenue up... A headline that says "Sunspot activity changing" will get nary a click. From CNN to FOX and Facebook to Advertising on all these sites...headlines are meant to get you to click. The article cites one fucking astronomer... it is like asking one doctor about the effects of Orange juice on people and then creating a click bait headline that "OJ will kill you!" If facts matter than simply look up info from science sites, not media sites.
