I guess the effect on earth’s temp wasn’t mentioned because the article was about satellites & power grids. You can write the portion on the earth’s temp if you like. Make sure to include the credentials on your science degree(s).
Considering that the earth is sleeted with the sun’s energy every single day….
No this event won’t have much of an impact on global temps. It’d take a much longer term event to do that, and at that point we’d actually have bigger problems.
It would be interesting to know how much this electromagnetic activity can affect anything that is buried underground. Maybe that could be an option. Naturally, there is a huge cost to putting more of our power lines and transformers underground, but this also comes in handy when there are severe storms, ice storms, etc.
That is a good question, Bob. And, though it would come at a cost, it could be infrastructure to upgrade and create jobs at the same time. Not to mention, reduce risk and losses associated with natural disasters/perils. I like where your head is at on this one. Certainly something worth exploring.
It makes too much sense. No way the government would advocate it. Let alone put money behind it. That would be saved for research on how cow’s gas effect the atmosphere. Or to save some obscure never heard of insect at the expense of a farmer. Or some other scheme people come up with for grant money.
Buried cables won’t make that much of a difference in this particular case Bob. Considering the amount of energy it takes to move the plasma field from the sun to the earth in under 3 days, we’d not be able to bury the lines deep enough.
…but it won’t cause any fluctuation in the Earth’s temp? Oh I’m sorry for pointing out the obvious.
Ditto. No one seems to want to make the correlation between high solar activity and warmer temperatures….
