The Existential Threat of Solar Storms with Dr Benjamin Pope
How trees can tell us a story of previous solar storms? What are the chances of having another Carrington-scale event and what would it mean? How can we understand solar storms better?

If/When the audio is less than stellar (like this one), you might suggest that people turn on youtube's CC function. It is not 100% accurate, but if you both watch the CC and listen, you can easily make out everything. Interesting invterview!
This is interesting...if whatever happened back in Charlemagne's time wasn't from some strange radiation storm that was not correlated with something from our star...I mean, I have been following the history of this situation for quite some time, and originally it had been suspected that it was to do with a massive burp from Sol, and lately it had been suspected that it wasn't - hey, back in the day, it wouldn't have had any significant effect because the electronic infrastructure wouldn't have existed. Thing is though - if a CME much more powerful than the Carrington Event does happen - and yes, it does involve aiming it just right...given how powerful *that* event was...if we get anything 80 times bigger than that event and the aim is *dead on*...well...the Amish will just keep on with living the way they do, and they will be able to cope. There is also something else though - I'm not entirely sure but...wasn't there some other information concerning events a lot more than 80 times more powerful than the Carrington Event...something that came a lot earlier than back in the Charlemagne era?
