Hello, WeAreOne. Interesting thought. I've several science & historic papers about the Carrington Event. There is a 100-percent possibility of another such event; probability is 50-percent.

"Developed" and "developing" peoples will be most severely impacted, primarily due to their dependence/reliance on "high technology". The more isolated within "high technology" the greater devastation to their way of life.

Imagine, if you will, the utter consternation of turning the taps and no water flows...match-lighting the jet and no gas hisses...flipping the switch and no lamps light. Compound that with lacking "official communication" of "what to do, how to do it, where to go, how to get there"...

In our little scenario, imagine dropping temperatures and rising winds, increasing precipitation. Genetically modified plant & animal life engineered for one set of variables fails given a radically different set of variables. The natural order of life has been compromised and may not be capable of self-regulation because of the "engineering".

Could Earth go qudrapole as the North/South flow reverses, as it has done numerous occasions? How would this, combined with increased Sun activity effect life as we now know it...reference above scenario...

Interesting times we're participating in and observing.
