I agree that we need to monitoring environmental impacts more closely (Gulf oil spill anyone) which has much more of an impact on our daily lives than some phantom, non existent AGW.

quote: “with no empirical data to support it.”

Interesting article I do recall an incident with Canada’s power grid collapsing back in the late 80’s or early 90’s and investigators found that it was the solar storm that took place at the time.

So I guess this is the proof of solar wind activity influencing electronics that NASA and other international space and government agencies utilize.

It makes you wonder though if NASA and others is so concerned about the effects of the sun storms on electrical equipment on Earth, why don’t they just licence out their patents for radiation hardened chips that they utilize on their spacecraft?

This would pretty much eradicate the concerns that wall street’s computational equipment would burnout or the mobile communications grid would seize up though it seems to be an issue mainly with the polar nations at the magnetic apex’s where most of the ionizing radiation enters.

Personally I think there are more urgent environmental issues that NASA should tackle, mainly pollution monitoring of in the Earth atmospheres and better preventive ways to simulate the effects of that pollution.
