We have been told time and time again about the hole in the Ozone that could be fatal if we continue to lose it……..and the Maya told us that we would need a new calendar in 2012……and then there are the Nostradamus freaks that find a prediction of everything in some coded writings of a dude about 500 years ago……and then we have all those that deny anything is happening to our climate….whether you would like to call it global warming or climate change or……well here is something else to consider……

Our planet’s protective magnetic bubble may not be as protective as scientists had thought. Small breaks in Earth’s magnetic field almost continuously let in the solar wind — the stream of magnetic, energized plasma launched by the sun toward the planets — new research has found.

“The solar wind can enter the magnetosphere at different locations and under different magnetic field conditions that we hadn’t known about before,” Melvyn Goldstein, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement.

Charged particles in the solar wind can interrupt GPS signals and power systems, as well as create dazzling auroras.
