NEW VIDEO: Could Solar Stroms Destroy Civilization?
Added 2020-06-07 12:45:59 +0000 UTCThe sun. Smooth and round and peaceful. Except when it suddenly vomits radiation and plasma in random directions. These solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs can hit earth and have serious consequences for humanity. How exactly do they work, how bad could they be and can we prepare for them?
Comments
Before or after America trials 'nuclear winter Beta' at the hands of these horrendous fires?

2020-06-18 12:06:18 +0000 UTCI dont think the video is generating any fear, just like any other kurzgesagt video, its specific and accurate, but not alarmist
2020-06-18 11:46:34 +0000 UTCLast thing humanity needs rigth now is more fear.
ProtoTech
2020-06-14 14:18:30 +0000 UTCVideos to generate unuseful fear is not a good choise of topic. Thats my asumption.

2020-06-14 14:17:22 +0000 UTCGreat vid! And just think, Earth's magnetic field, our first line of defence, is also weakening. The way 2020 is going, we'll probably get the long overdue flipping of Earth's magnetic poles at precisely the time a CME hits us.

2020-06-07 16:10:22 +0000 UTCI'm Deaf. A while ago these videos used to launch with scripted captions and this no longer seems to be the case. Why can't we have captions launch on the video at the same time instead of having to wait for the unannounced caption addition?

2020-06-07 14:26:30 +0000 UTCVERY Interesting. Glad to know that there are ways to minimize the effects... now if governments / utilities are working on them...

2020-06-07 14:02:11 +0000 UTCA "Strom" sounds quite deadly :D

2020-06-07 13:46:22 +0000 UTCThankfully Strom is dead, so his particular brand of racism is no longer a threat.

2020-06-07 13:14:05 +0000 UTCI really like the new Optimistic Nihilism poster, is there a phone wallpaper version of it available somewhere?

2020-06-07 13:13:06 +0000 UTCHad to think for a minute as to what a solar "strom" was

2020-06-07 13:03:38 +0000 UTCA solar strom! oh no!
