IN the NEWS - Could Solar Cycle 25 Contribute to the "Failing"?

Men's hearts failing them for fear
and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  
Luke 21:26
Q: Could Solar Cycle 25 Contribute to the "Failing"?
Who knows...guess we'll find out...

"The current solar cycle has a forecasted peak sometime in 2025. In December 2022, the total number of sunspots was at its highest in eight years, indicating solar activity was ramping up. Earlier this year, scientists observed twice as many sunspots -- red flags that solar maximum could be nearing.
 In 2022, there were fivefold more C-class and M-class solar flares
than there were in 2021, and year on year, the number of the most powerful, X-class solar flares is also increasing, according to SpaceWeatherLive.com. The first half of 2023 logged more X-class flares than in all of 2022, and at least one has directly hit Earth. (Solar flare classes include A, B, C, M and X, with each class being at least 10 times more powerful than the previous one.)

What's concerning is a solar physicist at the University of College London, Alex James, told Live Science that the sun's increase in solar activity is a warning sign the solar maximum could arrive by the end of this year. He said the initial forecast was for 2025. 
All this evidence suggests that Solar Cycle 25 is "going to peak earlier, and it's going to peak higher than expected," James said. 
Other solar physicists have told the science publication very similar forecasts. 
They warned: "We are poorly prepared."...And remember, "Solar Storms Can Devastate Entire Civilizations."
