Ah another ignorant science journalist. “Normally a blast of radiation like this could be expected to wipe out much of the human race…” Really, normally we’d get wiped out? Thank god, Geordi got the magnetic field generators working. Or could it be that the human race wouldn’t have evolved without the protection of the Earth’s magnetic field?
This is just the universe sending a message: “You can eat right, exercise, and protest the industrial revoluiton but I brought you into this existence and I can take you out.”
“It’s the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time.”
OMG!!! Yeah, quite some time, like a few years or a few months. NOT, for example, 65 million years.
“Deadly solar plasma” Oooh! Now I’m really fucking scared. Details at eleven. Tune in (and hear a few words from our sponsors) or die.
Didn’t we all learn about this stuff by junior high school? Not only solar activity and the Earth’s magnetic field, but yellow journalism and marketing?
