I don't...! but after I read the first article at Nasa.gov I googled it to look for more, and sure enough, Fox News appeared on the first page of the Google results.

That said, an intense solar flare pointed at us does pose a credible threat. Read up on the Carrington Event, when one such situation happened. Now, think about what that would mean today when we are much more dependent on electricity and satellites than we were then. |
Of course it does: It can affect Satellites, cellphones and even knock out power like it did here in Quebec a long time ago.
What's more important is that this is a cycle that happens every 11 years or so. Whats important is that if you live far enough north, you can get a pretty nice light show. What's stupid as hell is Fox using a natural and recurring event to scare the stupid.
