Good find mate!
Why is it only in one newspaper though? I am sceptical of The Daily Fail, and The Sun, but sometimes they do bring something decent to the forefront.

Oddly, we're also late for a financial depression too (no joke, it's a 75 year cycle).
Could be interesting watching the world survive a solar cycle maximum and a depression together.

Second choice then haha.
To be fair, it would be fascinating to watch things unravel and see stuff change so drastically.
RE: Solar Storms - SecretPrepper - 6 February 2013
It would definitely be scary stuff.
I am just starting looking into Faraday and EMP protection. and have seen some bags that are supposed to be good
