Sun Plasma Creates Severe Weather Effects On Earth




Calling Al Gore. Maybe George Soros can persuade the sun to behave so that man can focus on global warming, or something.

[From article]
The “Space Weather Preparedness Strategy” outlines the disturbances that could be caused by unpredictable solar weather. The most striking find from the report is the fact that a country would have only a 12-hour warning period before the storm would hit the planet.
The worst possible scenario would be a coronal mass ejection of plasma from the sun, during which the corona – that bright glow seen encircling the sun during a total solar eclipse – detaches, shooting off X-rays and high-energy particles directly to the Earth.
[. . .]
The U.K. department warns that it is difficult to forecast these events accurately. The short 12-hour warning time would leave major urban areas ill-prepared, and there is currently a “lack of capability to monitor the effects of severe events once they start.”
To prepare for this kind of storm, countries need to set plans in place to respond quickly, design safeguards in power and communications infrastructure, and send out clear alerts and warnings to the public, the report suggests.

[From article]
At least 800 people have died in a major heatwave that has swept across India, melting roads in New Delhi as temperatures neared 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit).
Hospitals were on alert to treat victims of heatstroke and authorities advised people to stay indoors, with no end in sight to the searing conditions.
India's Meteorological Department said it had issued heat warnings to several states where temperatures were forecast to top 45 degrees Celsius over the next few days.
[. . .]
The Hindustan Times daily said the maximum temperature in the capital hit a two-year high of 45.5 degrees Celsius on Monday -- five degrees higher than the seasonal average.

In Telangana state, which borders Andhra Pradesh in the south, 231 people have died in the last week as temperatures hit 48 degrees Celsius over the weekend.

Aftermath of Storm, Worse Than Media Reports

[From article]
“It’s so bad here, a lot worse than how its being portrayed by the
media. They are finding bodies left and right, elderly people who
don’t even watch the news or who knew the storm was coming. I was just
with one of my best friends from high school and college, and his
house is completely gone. One story I heard was about this one guy who
evacuated his house during Hurricane Irene but then it got looted. So
when they told him to evacuate for Sandy, he said, ‘I’m not leaving.’
Now they can’t find him, his 13-year-old daughter is dead, and his
wife is in critical condition at the hospital.

Cuoma and Gore Mislead Civilians

Tuesday October 30, 2012 NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, "for the first time
said he believes the increase in 'extreme weather situations' in
recent years is tied to climate change."

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2012/10/hurricane-sandy-death-toll-in-ny-at-26-gov-cuomo-blames-climate-change-for-inc

Al Gore supports this interpretation. Why do politicians insist on
talking about subjects about which they have little knowledge? In Al
Gore's case we know he does it for money. Sandy is a Category One
hurricane, the lowest category. The reason for its extreme effects is
that it met up with a weather system coming for the opposite
direction. Together the two storms created a giant storm with its
extreme flooding and rain and snow. Two days later it is still
spinning over the eastern half of the US from  west of Chicago to east
of New York City over the ocean. It is not the extreme single event
but the unusual occurrence of the event combining two weather systems.
