The sun is waking up from a long quiet spell. Last week it sent out the strongest flare for four years – and scientists are warning that earth should prepare for an intense electromagnetic storm that, in the worst case, could be a “global Katrina” costing the world economy $2,000bn.

Senior officials responsible for policy on solar storms – also known as space weather – in the US, UK and Sweden urged more preparedness at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington.

“We have to take the issue of space weather seriously,” said Sir John Beddington, UK chief scientist. “The sun is coming out of a quiet period, and our vulnerability has increased since the last solar maximum [around 2000].”

“Predict and prepare should be the watchwords,” agreed Jane Lubchenco, head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So much more of our technology is vulnerable than it was 10 years ago.”

A solar storm starts with an eruption of super-hot gas travelling out from the sun at speeds of up to 5m miles an hour. Electrically charged particles hit earth’s atmosphere 20 to 30 hours later, causing electromagnetic havoc.

    There really does seem to be credibility to this discussion. Here is another source (article) that was written a couple of months ago. http://www.createvaluellc.com/2010/09/03/imagine-your-lights-going-off-and-having-no-power-for-as-long-as-10-years/

    Wow, how exciting!! What an adventure we would have. I would definitely want more information on this subject. One article doesn’t cut it. :P Perhaps the storm will only hit Washington DC

  5. I have always seen Kevin Trudeau only put honest things up. I have seen the sun diagnostics and it makes a lot of sense to me now. What can we do to prepare? And What is the bigger picture of the sun doing this to Earth?

    Note to Jafar: This is why I listen to Kevin. He tells it like it is. I’m paying attention.

      I never said there was no increase in the solar activity I am just saying its being over-hyped. I am preparing as everyone should even if their was no forecast of disaster but chances are the most that could happen is a power outage. If the poles completely flip I don’t think there is anything you could do no matter how well you prepared. The NWO knows how to create fear and they love to do it, it’s how they maintain control.

    • Thank you Kevin for insisting in giving us information that most of the time is hiding from the public. Everyone has the right to know what is going on and what to do in case of natural disasters.The increase in solar activity is for many people a topic for movies only. We have to be together, pray and love each other, to create good energy and attract good things in life. Some churches are already telling their people how to purify water and preserve food in case of emergency. I hope everyone understands and follow instructions, at least to protect our kids, and suffer less when that happen. I just pray to God to give us a chance to be with our loved ones when something that terrible happen.God Bless everyone.

    So we had a solar maximum around the same time we had the Y2K problem? Interesting.

    I think they are over-hyping to create more fear.
