There are 2 comets coming that could cause an EMP in the next few days !

Comets are mostly made of ice and dust (like a dirty snowball), with a few chunks of rock and possibly some organic (carbon) compounds. The ices that make the bulk of a comet include water ice, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), frozen ammonia, solid methane and several common atmospheric gases in solid form such as oxygen.

That and...

I honestly believe that there are some folks that just fear every damn thing. They thrive on fear itself. I have a friend that is "borderline" ? that way...... The woman damn near came unglued worrying over the Y2K thing back in the day.

If it bleeds, it leads.
And if it doesn't bleed, stab it until it does...then lead with it.

Our media profits off of the eyeballs on its product.
Fear sells. It's so horribly irresponsible...and destructive.

Just sent this to my son with a masters degree in physics and is employed with the NRL, Naval Research Lab in D.C, government based, to get his opinion on this, hmmmm...

My son's reply:

Yeah I just watched that video and while some of the stuff he says is kind of accurate it sounds like he doesn't really know what he's talking about. He's so queer how serious he is. It seems he's either a major BSer or he really believes that's what's gonna happen. I don't know a great deal on this but I think comets do generate an electric field around them as they pass through near the sun which is a bunch of free moving ionized charges like a plasma but as it gets closer to the sun its loses material and I don't think there's any risk of an EMP. The biggest risk to our electric grid, satellites and everything else is a big coronal mass ejection (CME) which is like a huge explosion on the sun that occurs all the time and hurtles a bunch of material towards earth. The big ones can cause major electrical problems here.

You know what's funny I actually work with a guy that's probably considered the world's leading expert on comets. His office is just down the hall from mine. Maybe I'll ask him about this. Here's his website: https://thecometguy.com/about

Main stream media certainly has its biases, but I think that they generally get the facts right. It's the fringe media, if you want to call it that, like this guy, that spreads bum dope. You don't need any qualifications to post stuff on YouTube, and no one's going to sue you for lying. So, the gate's wide open for any nut job who wants to spout nonsense. And, sadly, some folks like our OP who aren't familiar with the subject, see it and believe it.

I'm all for free speech. But, this sort of thing borders on yelling fire in a crowded theater. We all need to learn to fact check outrageous claims. The internet makes this easy to do and usually only takes a minute. Consider the source's motives and qualifications. Are they selling something? It would be great if we could trust everyone, but we can't.

I read of a company in Russia that is making big money producing how-to videos. They are very professionally done. The only problem is that they don't work. The results they show are phony. But, they get millions of clicks and apparently that pays. It's sad, but that's the way it is.

I still see emails circulated whose contents were debunked 15-20 years ago.

There was one posted here about theives putting a note on your back window so when you got out of your car to remove it, they would be waiting to jump you. It sounds like a plausible tactic, but there's no evidence of it ever happening. When trying to validate it, I saw an article dated 2004 asking "Where in the heck did this originate?" Some of them you just let slide because they really cause no harm. Others you gently point out their rumor-nature.

I hate it when people publish this kind of crap. Look at some of his other videos. One says the dinosaurs are less than 40,000 years old.

While I agree the comet part sounds like bs, I'm not as certain about dinosaurs. All my life I've been told that dinosaurs lived about 231-243 million years ago. I was also told that the modern form of man (homo sapiens) have only been around for 300,000 years. and humans of some sort have existed for 6 million years. If this is true, then how did modern man know enough of what a dinosaur looked like that they were able to draw them on cave walls? Even more fascinating was, There is a petroglyph in Natural Bridges National Monument that bears a startling resemblance to a dinosaur, specifically a Brontosaurus, with a long tail and neck, small head and all. (see pic)
Then there was the recent discovery in Kuwait. Here's what was said...
This amazing work of art combined with dinosaur bones discovered on the spot, bring an all new perspective to the theories concerning the disappearance of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. It now seems plausible that humans could actually have coexisted with these incredible creatures until a few hundred thousand years ago.

We could start a discussion on Carbon Dating.

Real Science, or Bias Confirmation?
 
I won't get into a discussion of the age of dinosaurs or carbon dating. I'm not a paleontologist and don't know enough to convince anybody. I'll only say that there seems to be enough hard evidence to convince most researchers that they did die out about 66 million years ago.

And no evidence of most modern mammal fossils till very much later. Human remains later still.
 
I kind of discount the "facts" in this article. First, "Both of these comets are almost half as large as our sun" When a body is that huge ,it's called a 'planet' and not a comet . It would be hard not to see them in the sky, with only human eyes. And comets don't generate massive EMPs.. It's like someone misread a "Star Trek" script. And, the solution is so simple, all we have to do is "reverse the polarity" , and put the phasers on 'stun'. but , of course, "the engines won't be able to handle it".
 
I want to express my apologies to Happy Flower Lady, the OP. I may have caused her embarrassment by my response. I certainly don't blame her for posting this thread. She was sincerely concerned about this matter and wanted to share it. I should have made that clear. The people who make this type of video need to be exposed.
