  1. Sun releases the largest solar radiation storm ‘in over 20 years,’ forecasters say

    By Ashley Strickland, January 19, 2026

    "Powerful solar activity released by the sun is heading for Earth and it’s likely to create dazzling auroral displays in unexpected areas Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. It could also disrupt #satellite-based communications and #GPS accuracy.

    "A solar radiation storm, ranked at a level four out of five on a severity scale, is being tracked by the National Weather Service’s Space Weather Prediction Center, or #SWPC.

    " 'An #S4 severe #SolarRadiation storm is now in progress - this is the largest solar radiation storm in over 20 years,' SWPC shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. 'The last time S4 levels were observed was in October, 2003. Potential effects are mainly limited to space launch, aviation, and satellite operations.' "

  6. Planes grounded after #Airbus discovers #SolarRadiation could impact #systems

    Theo Leggett and Yang Tian, BBC News, December 5, 2025

    Excerpt: "Airbus discovered that, at high altitudes, its data could be corrupted by intense radiation released periodically by the Sun.

    "That led to the October incident in which an aircraft suddenly lost altitude - though the manufacturer said this was the only time an incident of its kind had occurred."

  14. Salon: 70% of world's workers at elevated health risks due to climate change, #UN report finds
    Presently there are roughly 18,970 people who are die every year on the job because of excessive #heat, more than 860,000 people who die from exposure to #airpollution and nearly 19,000 people who die from #NonMelanomaSkinCancer from exposure to #SolarRadiation. The authors even found that more than 26.2 million people suffer from #ChronicKidneyDisease because of workplace heat stress. They conclude that the world's countries will need to revise their labor protection laws to protect the working class.

  15. The idea is to create a huge sunshade & send it to a far away point between the Earth & the sun to block a small but crucial amount of #SolarRadiation, enough to counter #GlobalWarming. #Scientists have calculated that if just shy of 2% of the sun’s #radiation is blocked, that would be enough to cool the planet by 1.5°C, or 2.7°F, & keep Earth w/in manageable #climate boundaries.

    Stratospheric Aerosol Injection: Earth’s Last Chance Dance?

    "As a non-scientist, I can’t give an opinion about when to deploy this technology [stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI)]. I certainly don’t want to see the situation come to that. I can say with confidence, however, every day brings us closer to taking this risky path..."

    With dire consequences
