The REAL fear
[link to scienceandpublicpolicy.org]

Have a read, interesting article...a bit sensational for me..but interesting none-the-less.

some people may have seen this, but for those that havent, a real eye-opener...

the report however, fails to mention the chance of a Sun generated EMP..

Yeah this solar max will not be as bad as they thought.
But the fact the thought it means it can happen.
Its the same as an asteroid collision which is not if it happens but when.
There is nothing in place to stop it.

abcdEMP
John works 40 hours a week at a factory job. His rate of pay is $12.00 per hour. This week he worked an additional 3.5 hours of overtime for which he is paid $18.00 per hour. If he stops at the bar on the way home and drinks up 40% of his paycheck, how long until his wife piles all his shit up on the sidewalk?

thankfully...hate to think of a fully-ramped-up sun frying us this summer in AUS.

Scariest part was the mention that other countries would find it easier to drop an EMP than any other type of munition. i can understand this, as it would cause little direct damage, but the country affected would basically kill themselves.

hopefully it will never come to this...
