The first major effect that happened, was that the big warming cycles and their intervals began to diminish.

Thereafter, we saw the shorter cycles that the Little Ice Age cycles were a part of, diminishing likewise both in amplitude and in the length of their intervals.

When the plasma flow becomes too weak
The critical aspect for us, about our Sun as a plasma star being located at a node point of an interstellar stream, is that the primer fields form by themselves by the electromagnetic effect of moving plasma, whenever the conditions exist for this to happen.

In order for the primer fields to form, and to be maintained, the plasma stream must have a minimal rate of flow and density. When the plasma flow becomes too weak for the primer fields to be maintained, the primer fields vanish and their effects vanish with them. In this case the plasma sun looses the concentrated plasma surrounding it, and falls back into a low-power hibernation state that corresponds to the less focused plasma environment that exists without primer fields in operation.

The plasma density of the interstellar stream for our solar system is presently, rapidly diminishing. The threshold will likely be crossed in the 2050s past which the primer fields can no longer be maintained and the Sun drops into hibernation. That's the 'promise' of our Sun as a plasma star.

Dr. Valerie Hunt, Professor Emeritus of Physiological Sciences at UCLA established the relation between electromagnetic field strength and consciousness and behavior in experiments using a shielded room, called the MU Room, in which the levels of electromagnetic energy, magnetism, and particle charges were manipulated. Dr. Hunt placed subjects in the MU Room and removed virtually every trace of electromagnetism. Hunt observed that the interaction between subjects increased. Subjects complained of tiredness, confused thinking, and they began to cry. Their nervous and endocrine systems reacted as though they were in peril. They lost their sense of boundaries, and their sense of body image disappeared. When the electromagnetic field was restored, all returned to normal. When it was increased beyond normal levels, the subjects’ thinking became clear and they reported an expansion in consciousness. (Hunt, 1996)

Last year, Hunga Tonga Eruption produced largest lightning event recorded on Earth.

[link to www.bbc.com (secure)]

At its peak, the thunderstorm triggered by the volcanic plume above Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai produced 2,600 flashes of lightning every minute. Nearly 200,000 flashes of lightning lit up the inside of the dark ash cloud for 11 hours. Bright bursts of electrical discharge rose 12-19 miles (20-30km) above the ocean, which is almost three times as high as a cruising Boeing 747 passenger airliner – some of the highest-altitude lightning flashes ever recorded.

In Earths history there were many cycles of destruction and renewal. Some were shallow some were very deep.
We are approaching one. Hopefully, the shallow one.
It will probably pull us down by at least (if we are lucky) 150 years. It will erase all that industrial shit.

During such disasters the dominating species are usually being drastically reduced. So, maybe 1% of the human population will survive.

Good luck to you all and I am looking forward to steampunk.

We are now 2 million years into the ice age cycles epoch, in which the climate that we presently enjoy, the interglacial climate, is an anomaly that barely lasts for slightly over 10% of the Ice Age cycle.
 Quoting: Funney


That is the most true and irrefutable statement of this thread.

It is a known and undeniable fact that the normal mode of this planet is the "ice age--which we are still actually in to some small degree. However, the glacial periods are very much the norm--not interglacial periods.

Roughly speaking, the interglacial periods have shrunk about 50% per iteration over the last many millions of years. If this pattern was to continue, the earth is ripe for the start of another glacial period. People will be praying for a bit of global warming.

Like super volcanoes, the schedules are not carved in stone, but are still somewhat predictable and unavoidable. The ice is coming--and Democrats or the UN will not be able to stop it.

The Gothenburg Magnetic Excursion

This was roughly 12500 years ago, and it was considered a bad one.

The Lake Mungo Geomagnetic Excursion

This was the one inbetween the last one and the one mentioned in this thread.

That one was brought about the last ice age.

Roughly 12000-13000 years apart. All the events, half way through a processional cycle.

That list continues.

I don't use sunscreen. It causes cancer. Its not for our good. They did studies. The profession with the lowest cancer rate: Australian lifeguard.

And in BC Canada, they conducted a study on outdoor workers, from seasonal to roofers, expecting high cancer rates, and found the direct opposite, the lowest cancer rates in the province.

UVB. You avoid too much sun between 10 am and 2 pm roughly. Those are when the UVA rays are the strongest.

UVB! get some.

And the early sunblocks blocked UVB and let UVA in, for some dumbass reason.

Re: Collapse of Earth's Geomagnetic Field 42,000 Years Ago (known as the Laschamps Excursion)
The most substantial climatic and environmental changes began during the ~900 years prior to the reversal of Earth’s poles. At this time, the geomagnetic field dropped to less than 6% of its present-day strength, meaning that unfiltered radiation from space effectively fried our ozone layer. Besides triggering climatic change, ultraviolet radiation at the Earth’s surface (the reason we put on sunscreen in the summer) would have surged to potentially dangerous levels. How dangerous? We suggest that it is no coincidence that this weakening of the geomagnetic field—now precisely dated to 42.4 to 41.5 thousand year ago—is associated with the last gasp of the Neanderthals in western Europe and the last appearances of Pleistocene megafauna in Australia, including giant kangaroos and the so-called marsupial rhino.

Human populations clearly escaped their fate, and archaeological evidence may suggest why. The decline of the geomagnetic field is associated with the sudden appearance and dramatic increase in artwork on the walls of caves around the world (e.g., in Europe and Island Southeast Asia). Those caves, we propose, would have provided important shelter from UV radiation. There is parallel archaeological evidence for increased use of red ocher, a pigment commonly used in cave art and which also happens to be an effective sunscreen.

We're about to experience that now, the fields are collapsing.

"Why is the sun no longer a soft yellow like when I was a kid and now it is hot white?"

The sun has not changed but the magnetic fields have allowed more radiation deeper into the lower atmosphere, rapidly heating it up and inducing chemical changes of pollution that create this illusion.

But humanity will survive, if just barely.

It’s already happening. UV-C radiation is spiking in high temperature areas across the globe currently. This explains the sudden rise in the heat index such as 96 degrees but feels like 120 degrees.

The radiation spikes will continue to increase as true North inches closer to Russian territory, indicating a possible pole reversal and serious weather changes that will kill millions.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82409006


It’s not us that is causing global changes, although we do pollute and destroy. It’s based on two factors.

First, our solar system is currently traveling through a cloud, which is hot as the sun’s surface and has highly magnetic gases. This is a cloud left over from a supernova that exploded a few million years ago. It also explains why NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos have detected temperature increases on all of the planets in our system.

The sun usually protects our planet with solar winds that acts as a shield. Unfortunately, the sun is now displaying unusual activity as seen recently with six solar flares within hours of each other. This seems to indicate we will be experience hotter than normal summers and wetter winters. It’s quite possible areas that normally have four seasons will skip a season or two.

Second, Earth’s magnetic field has weakened to the point that UV-C radiation is now penetrating and affecting animals, plants, and people. Our food chain could be severely damaged causing global starvation.

On top of this, true North has moved over Russian territory changing weather patterns. Our planet’s wobble has increased too. All of these factors, based on last history, indicate a pole reversal could happen at any time.

So again, we the people have no say to what’s happening. We can only prepare to survive.
