  • when the corona mass ejection or whatever it is happens in 2012 or 2013 it will knockout the power grid and it will take 3-4 months to repair it....so dont worry about the end of the world...just pack enough water and freeze-dried food and supplies for 6 months and you'll be alright...oh yeah....get some weapons and plenty of ammo because stupid people will panic and you want to be able to protect yourself...

  • darn I was hoping for a disaster, noooooooooo!

  • 1:44 hit you!

  • CME's have now been recorded as reaching the Earth within 12 to 13 hours and as for power stations being prepared for these events? we will have to wait and see.

  • 2012!!!!!!!!!! earth explosion

  • I love how he misses out the fact the solar cycle has changed over the last 4-5 cycles in that a pronouced second peak or hump has developed and is getting stronger. This second peak is making the active cycle longer...

    Im not a conspiracy theorist, but when I see misleading crap like this I do wonder if they have a point...
