Well, let's pray we miss the civilization-ending blast of EMP from a giant solar flare again this time, like we did a couple of weeks ago, just after the sunspot moved out of range.

Events like this are far more likely to end things for us on this planet than the 0.04% of CO2 in the atmosphere. In fact, there is a 1% chance of a civilization-ending solar flare event every decade, although the scary warnings about hurricanes and El Nino get all the attention. In fact, the recent unseasonably warm weather we're currently experiencing has much more to do with the recent solar storms on that giant variable star we live next to, than cow farts and Florida deforestation.
