Sep 26, 2010 Will a Solar Flare Paralyse Earth in 2013?

London Mail on Line had some comments on Massive solar flare 'could paralyse Earth in 2013' which said that “A massive solar flare could cause global chaos in 2013, causing blackouts and wrecking satellite communications, a conference heard yesterday.  Nasa has warned that a peak in the sun's magnetic energy cycle and the number of sun spots or flares around 2013 could generate huge radiation levels.  The resulting solar storm could cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth, knocking out electricity grids around the world for hours, days, or even months, bringing much of normal life grinding to a halt.  Defence Secretary Liam Fox, who delivered the keynote address at an international conference on the vulnerability of electricity grids around the world, warned that modern societies' dependence on technology leaves them vulnerable to such events.  The Sun follows an 11-year cycle of high and low periods of solar activity. It is now leaving a notably quiet phase and scientists expect to see a sharp increase in the number of solar flares as well as unprecedented levels of magnetic energy.  The rings of fire, which have the power of 100 hydrogen bombs, could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina."

 The report said that NASA has been studying the problem and has outlined social and economic impacts of severe space weather events.  It said that smart power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications can all be knocked out by intense solar activity.  Scientists have known for years that a similar effect could be achieved by a hostile power exploding a nuclear weapon in space, producing a massive burst of electromagnetic energy known as a high altitude electromagnetic pulse.  This can be realized in a nuclear detonation in the upper atmosphere that would knock out vital electronic systems by producing an electro-magnetic pulse, he said.  The article raised questions about such attacks by terrorists or adversarial states like North Korea or Iran.   

Comment:  The EMP warfare has been known for ages.  In the coming Rothschild created WWIII, it is logical that the coming nuclear attack on the US will be preceded by a high altitude nuclear blast to paralyse the US.
