Who is going to vote for an idiot that rescinds an order that may save 90 percent of the lives of US Citizens?

This solar storm was a Corona Mass eject, (CME) not a solar flare, they travel a lot slower, Calling a solar flare and Corona mass eject a storm is like calling a small thunderstorm the same as a hurricane. There is no comparison. There should be scales for CME's as this to make people aware that there is a difference. There is for hurricanes, 1-5. There are not for CME's, there should be. A severe one could cause 90 percent of the human population or more to perish in a few years. There was a bill signed in 2019 by Trump to greatly harden our grid. Biden rescinded it the first day he was in office. This youtube shows here what could happen in the USA if a sever CME hit the planet to include about 90 percent of the people in this country will perish. This is a show by the History Channel with some of the best Physicists explaining what could happen to the USA. Albert Einstein went to Franklin Roosevelt and explained what could happen if the Nazis got the nuclear bomb before the USA. This Democrat President may not have understood the physics behind the nuclear bomb because it is a hard concept for most. He however believed Einstein. The USA therefore created the Manhattan Project, nuclear bombs were made and Japan surrendered because of them. Many believe saving millions of lifes on both sides. https://youtu.be/JWpzpxqCzns?t=179

1859 we just had telegraph wire and they fried. Little reliance on this infrastructure and easily repaired. It was 25 times larger than the one that hit in 2024. If the wire fried today and our infrastructure not hardened as President Trump signed by executive order and Biden rescinded, what then? I believe anyone with an IQ above room temperature can figure that one out!!

Some corrections...

1. CMEs and solar flares both cause Geomagnetic Storms, or storms caused by solar activity. While they are different, solar flares are sometimes, but not always, accompanied by CMEs.

2. Geomagnetic Storms do have a rating system and are classified from minor to extreme, G1-G5.

The most notable and worst one we've had is a G4, and that was the one you're referencing from 1859 which was called the Carrington Event. The last potential G4 missed our planet somewhere around 2008-2009. Sorry, no references of that but happy to look it up if I can find it again.

The most recent Geomagnetic Storm was a G5 in 2003, later marked down to G3, that affected a localized areas in South Africa and Sweden.

They very rarely exude an extreme coverage of the planet, nor are they likely to consume the entire United States to reach the death toll you're projecting. They are somewhat localized. The Carrington Event appeared to only affect Hawaii, Cuba, parts of the North West United States and some places in Europe. It didn't burn out all of the US's power grid. Ever since, safeguards have been built in the event something like that happens as our understanding of current was a little different in 1859 than it was in 2024.

The "doomsday" scenario projected in the youtube video you posted is very unlikely unless we see something much bigger than a G5. And must before NASA and or the NOAA could alert departments such as the FAA to ground flights. As is the usual protocol and was the protocol over this past weekend.

3. The Executive Order signed by Trump on May 26, 2019 was not overturned by Biden. It is still active. So you can relax.
