Slide 7:Image credited to http://www.apollopony.net/images/solar_storm.jpg Sun Storms Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its peak sometime in 2012. Will this snuff the earth?

Slide 9:One idea involves a geomagnetic reversal which could be triggered by a massive solar flare, one with energy equal to 100 million atomic bombs. This idea is supported by evidence that the Earth's magnetic field is weakening, which indicates an impending reversal of the north and south magnetic poles.
