Well for one, among some others here, I'm MAD-AS HELL that those so-called "elite" are using our Tax dollars on their extravagant survival "Arks."

Those of us left on the surface may be facing a scorched Earth from expected Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), possible within the next 3-5 years.

Abstract


We present a study of solar energetic particles (SEPs) in association with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and type II radio bursts. The particle and CME observations cover the years 1996–2007. We find that heavy-ion events in association with type II bursts and proton events are produced in more western and most energetic CMEs. In addition, the source distribution of type II associated proton events with heavy ions reminds the source distribution expected for events with flare particles. Therefore, the estimation of relative contributions by flares and shocks in SEP events and separation of suggested different particle acceleration models is complicated.

Keywords: Acceleration of particles; Sun: coronal mass ejections (CMEs); Sun: particle emission

I don't know HOW DEEP we would have to dig to escape immediate immolation, but there would not be much left to survive with upon re-emerging.
