In a new warning, Nasa said the super storm would hit like “a bolt of lightning” and could cause catastrophic consequences for the world’s health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken.Scientists believe it could damage everything from emergency services’ systems, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control devices, through to “everyday” items such as home computers, iPods and Sat Navs.

Nasa article on the subject. Which isn't nearly as alarmist as the other two.

well, people like Pat Robertson will always blame something like this on Sex and Drugs and Rock Music, whereas some environmentalistas I know will blame it on our gas guzzling fast food ways....
- The rest of us blame it on naturally occurring fluctuations of the cosmos.monospaced
