FYI:


British Defence Secretary Liam Fox will next week attend a summit of scientists and security advisers who believe the infrastructure that underpins modern life in Western economies is potentially vulnerable to electromagnetic disruption.

Blogger’s and scientists around the globe are warning the dangerous of sun solar flares storm from last few years. Last month Australasian Science had also reported that “Massive Sun Solar Flare Storm will hit Earth in 2012 with ‘Force Of 100m Hydrogen bombs’.

NASA report on Sun solar Storm which was carried out for NASA by the US National Academy of Sciences in 2009 had also warned about upcoming solar Storm 2012 too.

Some scientists say there is a similar danger from a once-in-a-century solar flare, a disturbance on the surface of the sun that could cause geomagnetic storms on earth. A major flare in the mid-19th century blocked the nascent telegraph system, and some scientists believe that another such even is now overdue.

The Westminister meeting is being jointly hosted by the Electric Infrastructure Security Council and the Henry Jackson Society, a think-tank. The meeting will be addressed by Avi Schnurr, a former US government adviser who said that “super-flares” occur about once every hundred years, meaning the next is overdue. The electrical grid, computers, telephones, transportation, water supply, food production are all vulnerable to a major flare, said Mr Schnurr, who also works for the Israel Missile Defence Association, a lobby group.
