Solar Storm Expected Around 2012 Could Leave the World in Darkness and Chaos for Months





A report commissioned by NASA has concluded that a solar storm could cause massive, long lasting, worldwide devastation and has called for a program of reducing the vulnerability of infrastructure and improvements to to solar storm forecasting.



The next peak is expected in 2012 and may be particularly severe. A solar storm could knock out power grids with cascades blacking out massive areas. The water supply and sewer would fail quickly and perishable foods/medicines wouldn't last long.



"A catastrophic failure of commercial and government infrastructure in space and on the ground can be mitigated through raising public awareness, improving vulnerable infrastructure and developing advanced forecasting capabilities," said the report.

The year 2012 has always been mentioned as a pivotal "end of days" type event,stretching back to the Mayan civilisation and their long line calculations.



There may be something in it Nige!

Isn't 2012 the year the world ends according to the Mayan calender?

So it would be 'situation normal' here in the TRNC then.

Littlenige, why the 24th October? I would think 20th December is better, then we will all be too hungover to notice the big bang on the 21st!!

Dear Clarets re msg 10



We got through Nostrodamus, 1984, and all the the other end of world doomsdayers.. one will be correct one day..



Me thinks folk will still be more concerned if they can get their BBC, rather than worrying about Mayan..

Hipps



'Did the Hippo detect a whinge there did he?

Whinge? not me.

A little dissatisfaction? Nope.

Joined the WB brigade? Nope

Its just my sense of humour. You know the sort of humour that comes from living and working in countries that are far worse than the TRNC.

Beware the prophets of doom.



Spent a night up a hill in 1983 waiting for the end of the world.Felt a right idiot in the morning.

Wont believe it again,unless someone reliable like Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, tells me its a definate.

Actually there's quite a lot strange phenomena supposed to happen in 2012



solar energy bursts from the sun

celestial alignments that only occur every 20,000 years

end of mayan calendar

end of ancient chinese numerical calendar...etc etc



but actually the reasons why these calendars finish at the same time is because of the celestial alignment. Apparently it signifies rebirth, therefore a new calendar...not a doomsday...
