What's wrong with this picture? 
It's like one of Zombies threads "OMG! I have absolute proof of the afterlife"  SEE! proof positive! Victor Zammit agrees!  |

he also said
Biesecker said that when it comes to radiation storms, the polar regions are affected most. For instance, the storm could spell disruptions to airline flights, oil operations, Arctic exploration and space satellites |

The science bit.
The Earths magnetospere will deflect most of the nasty radiation that gets here, it's one of the reasons that Earth had been able to develop life, Mars on the other hand has got a strangely low magnetic field and is bombarded with solar radiation which is bad news for the developement of life. We will be fine, the Sun has been doing this for billions of years and it hasn't irradiated us yet! |
