Auroras
shine light on solar flares
Researchers suggest that magnetic
waves could help solar flares travel tens of thousands of kilometers a second.
Solar Flares are a small environmental problem but still a problem. Large enough
solar flares can cause damage to all electronics including satellites and power
grids. Solar flares also give off radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays,
which are very harmful. Luckily though we have our magnetic field to protect
us. There is no way mankind can combat these solar flares but we can make electronics
resistant to them. For me though I don’t see any problem with them. They are an
unstoppable and unpredictable force of nature.

There is nothing that we can do about this issue. I believe that we shouldn’t worry about things we can not control. We should focus on the environmental issues that we can fix. I understand that these can be very harmful. I think that this article was put on here just to raise awareness and try to scare some people into being friendlier towards the environment when in all actuality there is nothing we as humans can do to control these solar flares. I hope I don’t sound mean I just don’t really consider this to be an issue worth talking about because it really isn’t an issue if we can’t do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteI think that we should only focus on environmental issues that our within our reach. I can't think of any way of which we could control this.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that we should worry so much about things that we can't change.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about luck, it's coming and we can not stop it. Be prepared to be without power for maybe weeks to months.
