Why just about nobody seems to care about risk of strong solar storm on the scale of the carrington event?
Why there are no procedures made, spare transformers produced, emergency food and supplies stored around major cities, etc?
People care about climate change risks slowly damaging civilization over decades, and here we have risk (also scientifically and historically proven) that can just randomly disable worldwide electricity next year (extremely unlikely) or during the next 200 years (LIKELY) and we are doing nothing?
What is the logic in this? "Unlike climate change it will happen randomly, it may happen in 2054 or 2077, we may be already dead, we don't care"?
(No, nobody said that, I'm just trying to imagine reasons needed to ignore the issue).
Do you care about people who are now small children?
"It will PROBABLY not happen during my remaining lifetime, I'm fine with only 10% risk of dying from hunger or disorder among collapsing civilization"?
What is the logic here? What is the plan?
