Scientists have found evidence of past extreme solar storms. Their return could be disastrous for our technology-based societies

In the not-so-distant past, the Earth was battered by much more extreme solar storms. Evidence of these storms has come, in particular, from analysing levels of radioactive carbon – known as radiocarbon, or carbon-14 – in tree rings.

I don't think that tree ring data can tell us the difference between a single massive solar event and a very active year of lesser solar events.

I would like to see how the same methods rate 2024 after a few years of plant growth, to see how big a single event would have to be in order to produce the amount of C-14 that will be observed from the many events we have been reading about all year.
