Article.

It hits tomorrow, but unless it slows down, the Atlantic will get most of it.

If it slows down, tomorrow might suck for technology.

If the Church of GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE has taught me anything, it is that the sun has no effect on the Earth, ever.

I'm not worried.

When I read that article I was thinking the same thing.

This flare will not only affect man made transmissions and possibly equipment, but it's going to increase temperatures, melt snow faster, speed up evaporation, cause big storms, potential flooding, higher water levels (depending where it hits), etc.

How is that possible if this flare wasn't caused by an SUV?

I'm not saying that Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin are on the sun drilling for oil. I'm not saying that. But when you hear the same thing time and again, from so many different people....
