Does a Faraday cage work on such events. The reason for this comment is that NZ has a solid history of earthquakes and in the name of equality even though I do not live in an earthquake zone my concrete house is a Faraday cage (steel everywhere) wifi every floor etc. what is a Carrington hardened residence? I think that Naut posted a couple of times back on the old site on this, as his house was constructed similarly.

A Faraday cage is the way to protect. A Faraday cage should be grounded. With regards to a home as a Faraday cage; if you have external penetrations like plumbing and utilities, they can all degrade or defeat the protection of the cage. Certainly anything connected to an external power source will be vulnerable. A CME does not produce the same destruction that a nuclear EMP will. The main issue with the CME is the many miles of wire associated with the power grid. The induction on the physically huge grid can produce surges the attached equipment (transformers in particular) can’t handle.

if we have a major event .. theres nothing that will stop all electrics going boom .. so it's back to the 1500's and 30-50 yrs to recover .. well unless your far underground ..

Im heading up North to Whatcom county. Lots of old timers up there, lots of steam and wood powered machines. Lots of draft horses.

One group has an event just west of me (KC area) in September. Perhaps I should go and recruit. members.sca.org/apps/#MtgDetail/00001040

You know that whole arctic amplification people like to use to explain weather these days, AR6 says not so much.
Wonder what could be the cause of a loopy jet 🤔

that was a good summary and informative read. I like the x-ref to other counts besides sunspot number - my feeling is sunspot number is/has been a visible but crude surrogate for cosmic activity, and this activity is what primarily affects our climate and everything else, not just 'sunspots'. Meridional jetstream flow correlates with low solar activity periods - read that somewhere, can't remember the linkage mechanism tho. SC25 will likely be another dual-peak cycle, with a dip in the middle, not a wide flat curve. To be a little contentious (sarcasm), everything we are told is usually the exact opposite of reality...maybe the global warming psycho-babble is actually because they know the opposite will happen? What better time to stage a cull than in a cold 'Maunder' minimum with associated disease outbreaks and crop failures? Then you can just blame the weather.

What better time to stage a cull than in a cold 'Maunder' minimum with associated disease outbreaks and crop failures? Then you can just blame the weather. For a more comprehensive overview of solar radiation and its possible effects on planet Earth, you might want to watch this video (if you haven't seen it already). Stephen Wilde has some good descriptive climate mechanics papers. Can't immediately find the one I want. But it basicly describes the jetstream transistion from latitudinal to meridianal flow to involve a decline in the subtropical-arctic pressure gradient that occurs as the equatorial Hadley cells lose strength as solar activity declines. This results in a lowering of surface pressures in the sub-tropical highs. This is what is measured by the NAO. Wattsupwiththat has many articles by him.
