Solar cycle 24: solar flares & social collapse or ‘crushing cold temperatures and global famine'?

This article is one of a continuing series on the impacts of Solar Cycle 24 (2009-2020).
On
May 19, 2009, record low temperatures were recorded in 28 states, more
than half the states in the United States of America. Many of these
record low temperatures are the lowest in 100 years, and some the
lowest in 115 years. Iceagenow.com,
a web portal tracking global temperatures reports, “If there had been
record warmth in 28 states, your would have seen
‘we're-causing-global-warming’ headlines plastered across the front
page of almostevery newspaper in the country, and TV hosts would have
gleefully announced the dire news. . . . But had you even heard about
this?”
NOAA’s full report on these locations and record low temperatures is set out at the end of this Examiner.com article.
In an April 2, 2009 article, retired U.S. Navy physicist and engineer James A. Marusek
writes: “The sun has gone very quiet as it transitions to Solar Cycle
24…. We are now at a crossroad. Two paths lie before us. Both are
marked with a signpost that reads “Danger”! Down one path lies
monstrous solar storms. Down the other path lies several decades of
crushing cold temperatures and global famine.” “A quiet sun will cause
temperatures globally to take a nose-dive. We will experience
temperatures that we have not seen in over 200 years, during the time
of the early pioneers.
On April 1, 2009 Examiner.com
also reported that a January 2009 National Academy of Sciences reported
that a repetition of the 1859 Carrington solar flares event during the
solar maximum (2012-13) would destroy the high-power electrical energy
grid, and cause millions of deaths and $4 trillion damages in the U.S.
alone.
To listen to solar science experts, humanity is poised
between a Scylla of potential solar collapse by solar flares and a
Charibdis of ‘crushing cold temperatures and global famine during solar
cycle 24 (2009 – 2020) – both alternative scenarios carrying the risk
of global pandemics, and, according to Marusek, “cosmic rays that can
lead to genetic mutations and evolutionary leaps.”
In its series on solar cycle 24, Examiner.com
has documented the risks of 2012-13 solar flares. We now begin to
document the risks of a quiet sun – or as one Canadian newspaper
reports: “Forget global warming: Welcome to the new Ice Age”.
