Realistically, who would want to live through that just to try to find a place on earth where you can grow food again.What how are you going to get there? What are you going to eat til you find that place? What is it worth when all your friends and family are dead?
Just kiss your arse goodbye and go with the rest of your family and quit worrying about it.

That is precisely my plan. Again, that's in the event of ecdo, not carrington event level stuff.
Hunker down for a few months. Wait until we are out of the stone ages for the massive cme type stuff. Many would die, but most able bodied people with a brain should live :)

The Amish don't have a worry (except when starving hordes come to take their food).

What about this life what you so desperate to put off your inevitable death? Especially if you are a Christian. Someone please explain .
“Wife and kids” notwithstanding. Give em some credit here.

This event incinerated, quite literally, telegraph wires* and other electronics that earth had going on, and if it were to happen again, it would send the whole world back into the stone age without a pot to piss in, so to speak.
Yeah.. NO.
quote:
Because of the geomagnetically induced current from the electromagnetic field, telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving their operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks. Some operators were able to continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies.
The following conversation occurred between two operators of the American telegraph line between Boston, Massachusetts, and Portland, Maine, on the night of 2 September 1859 (as reported in the Boston Evening Traveler): Boston operator (to Portland operator):
"Please cut off your battery [power source] entirely for fifteen minutes."
Portland operator: "Will do so. It is now disconnected."
Boston: "Mine is disconnected, and we are working with the auroral current. How do you receive my writing?"
Portland: "Better than with our batteries on. – Current comes and goes gradually."
Boston: "My current is very strong at times, and we can work better without the batteries, as the aurora seems to neutralize and augment our batteries alternately, making current too strong at times for our relay magnets. Suppose we work without batteries while we are affected by this trouble."
Portland: "Very well. Shall I go ahead with business?"
Boston: "Yes. Go ahead."
The conversation was carried on for around two hours using no battery power at all and working solely with the current induced by the aurora, the first time on record that more than a word or two was transmitted in such manner.
Doesn't sound all that stone-age-y to me. I mean, unless you are an alarmist sort of person or Liberator.

I've got several Faraday Cages and bags full of electronics. I keep a solar generator in one and panels in another. These are things you can get into for relatively inexpensive costs.
Most people can't fathom, in this time of convenience and age of instant gratification, exactly how fast things will go downhill in the event of a widespread disaster such as another Carrington Event or a high-altitude EMP (IYKYK).
It only takes a little research and willingness to spend modest sums of money on things you may never need, to give yourself a serious advantage if and when the SHTF.

This is true, and so is the earth expansion theory, but the ECDO theory is so unsettlingly vetted and persuasive, from both a historic and scientific standpoint.
Looking at how we think humans couldn't have gotten to landmass B from landmass A. How all of the ancient civilizations built warnings that still exist today. There is so much to unpack, and I have only just begun learning.
In geology, they divide the theory of earth geological features into catastrophism and uniformitarianism. Catastrophism is quick, fast and destructive. A lot of power in catastrophism because time in the denominator under energy is small. Uniformitarianism is slow, gradual processes like erosion and sedimentation occurring consistently over long periods. Not much power because the time in the denominator is large.
But earths geological features are not formed by one or the other concepts. It's both and in between.
For example Mount St. Helens eruption was a good example of catastrophism caught on tape.
But I bet there were MUCH larger catastrophic events that took place during the severe melting of the ice caps from the las Ice Age 24,000 year ago. Where sit right now in Southern Louisiana at 25 feet above sea level was once ~400 feet above sea level during the last ice age.
There is tons of geologic evidence of catastrophic flooding that took place during the ice melt.
My point is, geologic evidence of catastrophic events does not necessarily mean those geologic features were caused by prior ECDO events.

You can also get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a bull's arse, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

I have ECDO credits for sale.
How far under 5,000 ft can I go with each credit?

That is why I decided to post a thread here about it. If a CME slaps us, I will feel maybe I helped one man prepare. Even though that's unlikely, it does seem easy enough to prepare for that unfortunate potential and likely every.
ECDO is more something I bring up because X conversations are a very different texture, and it's a fascinating topic.

Eh, not necessarily. We (in the US at least ) will get some warning and should be able to take necessary steps to prevent a complete loss to the power grid. It will be a very chaotic time with GPS and telecommunication taking the brunt of the damage but we wont turn into Mad Max overnight. The thing about the Carrington event is its not the most powerful CME that the sun is capable of producing...not by a long shot. When it comes to solar explosions that can release major spikes of carbon-14 atoms seen in tree rings, scientists now know of at least a half-dozen times in the past 10,000 years there have been CME that hit Earth that were 10 to 100 times more powerful than the Carrington event.

lol, no. IT would be a minor inconvenience.

This has been talked about for years. Congress should have set aside funding to bury power lines, harden the grid, and ensure there are backup transformers available (and built in the US since China is currently the primary supplier). They’d rather twiddle their thumbs.

However, to all those warmists out there, the sun is an extraterrestrial ball of nuclear fusion which we do not remotely understand. Carrington is a real deal. So is the effing ice age!! Science is capable of answers, reasonable predictions, etc, but not in its current state.
