Senior
American Association for the Advancement of Science officials meeting,
which just concluded in Washington, DC, USA warned of potential severe
solar storms that could cause extensive damage and cost the global
economy hundreds of billions of dollars.
On Tuesday, February
15, the Sun's surface erupted in an X-class solar flare, the most
powerful type of all solar events, as the most powerful in four years.
The explosion was unleashed from a sunspot region that had barely been
visible just the week before, but grew quickly to more than 100,000
kilometers across, or nearly eight times the width of the Earth.
Although
recent event fortunately only disrupted high-frequency radio
communications in southern China and caused displays of the aurora
borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, a solar flare of this
magnitude can lead to much more severe geomagnetic storms as its coronal
mass ejection (CME), consisting of billions of tons of charged
particles, reaches the Earth's magnetic field.
These intense
solar flares can trigger prolonged or even permanent blackouts in
satellite communications and power grids, as well as radiation storms.
Moreover, solar flares are expected to become more frequent and severe
in 2013 during the Solar Max, when the sun's activity is set to reach
its peak.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
administrator Jane Lubchenco said, “This is not a matter of if, it's
simply a matter of when and how big. We have every reason to expect
we're going to be seeing more space weather in the coming years, and it
behooves us to be smart and be prepared.”
Our thankfulness,
scientists, for these insights into the significant implications of what
could be increasingly dangerous solar activity. May we heed such
potentially catastrophic occurrences as reminders to protect ourselves
through more uplifting, eco-conscious lifestyles. At the request of
Supreme Master Television staff in Los Angeles, California, USA, during
an October 2010 videoconference, Supreme Master Ching Hai explained the
cause of solar flares, and humanity's ability to significantly worsen or
improve such events.
Supreme Master Ching Hai :
All suns are Fifth level beings. The Fifth Level beings are only there
to give us spiritual benefit and upliftment and happiness, but
unfortunately, we sometimes abuse it. We are not making ourselves worthy
of all this help. So we have all this violent atmosphere - because of
war, because of hatred, because of mass murdering of animals, etc.,
etc., and abusing the environment. We are killing too much, so we
attract this kind of a flare.
It's us, the humans, who attract
it, the flare. And if we continue, it could be worse than that. It's
just a warning only. Just a warning. It could be worse.
I
always tell everybody, “Please, pay more attention to moral standard.
Please be more compassionate. Please be more virtuous. Love each other.
Peace. No war. No killing. Vegan.” - that is to protect everybody.
