Solving Our Climate Crisis National Town Hall w/Bernie Sanders

[FORD]

[Kristy]

Jesus fuck, not these retarded assholes. Yeah, that'll solve climate change - bitching about it on YouTube.

Just another slave FORD post of bowing to master Bernie.

[Kristy]

Tell me slave FORD how much industrial waste went into the environment just to make their god damn coffee cups? Long live the bullshit "revolution."

[FORD]

[Kristy]

Well, that was nothing more than a master Bernie sales pitch for his run in 2020

According to NASA, Earth experienced a close call with the most powerful solar storm in as much as 150+ years. On July 23, 2012, a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) tore through Earth orbit. "Fortunately Earth wasn't there. Instead, the storm cloud hit the STEREO-A spacecraft." "Extreme solar storms pose a threat to all forms of high-technology.

They begin with an explosion--a "solar flare"—in the magnetic canopy of a sunspot. X-rays and extreme UV radiation reach Earth at light speed, ionizing the upper layers of our atmosphere; side-effects of this "solar EMP" include radio blackouts and GPS navigation errors. Minutes to hours later, the energetic particles arrive. Moving only slightly slower than light itself, electrons and protons accelerated by the blast can electrify satellites and damage their electronics.

Then come the CMEs, billion-ton clouds of magnetized plasma that take a day or more to cross the Sun-Earth divide. Analysts believe that a direct hit by an extreme CME such as the one that missed Earth in July 2012 could cause widespread power blackouts, disabling everything that plugs into a wall socket.

Most people wouldn't even be able to flush their toilet because urban water supplies largely rely on electric pumps.

Before July 2012, when researchers talked about extreme solar storms their touchstone was the iconic Carrington Event of Sept. 1859, named after English astronomer Richard Carrington who actually saw the instigating flare with his own eyes. In the days that followed his observation, a series of powerful CMEs hit Earth head-on with a potency not felt before or since. Intense geomagnetic storms ignited Northern Lights as far south as Cuba and caused global telegraph lines to spark, setting fire to some telegraph offices and thus disabling the 'Victorian Internet."

Solar flares are a completely separate issue from man made climate change. There is a common denomniator though, and that is the fact that the same anti-science predatory capitalists who deliberately ignore climate change also have cut NASA's funding to shit, which makes it more difficult to keep track of some of this potentially harmful "space traffic" (solar flares, meteors, etc.)
