Ragnarok II

Synopsis:
There is some good news and some bad news .

Discussion:
The Good News:
http://spaceweather.com/
SOLAR FLARE: on Sunday morning at 1145 UT, an active region on the sun's western limb unleashed a strong M3-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation
Although the blast site was not directly facing Earth, radiation from the explosion nevertheless ionized Earth's upper atmosphere. This altered the propagation of radio signals around Europe, where it was high-noon at the time of the flare.

Hence the problems with Skype , wrongfully ascribed to increased magma activity .
We are not facing an Extinction Level Event due to planetary magma activity .

The Bad News :
Major magma derived earthquakes are still on track for Western USA and Mideast Europe . Shit . Now we have to worry about the SuperVolcano at Campo Flegri (NE of Naples) This is like Yellowstone . The magma chambers have to be ripped open and vented in the least harmful direction . The Med in this case . Worse than Santorini
Then there are the supervolcanos in India and Siberia .
Hopefully the effect won't stretch that far . But a rapid response would be needed.
A really difficult call .

Unless the human race is very lucky , millions are going to die in the next week .

But most will survive .
