Red Northern Lights

February 16, 2023, Lake Baikal

The Northern Lights are a wonderful phenomenon... as long as they are in the far north and green. But if the red northern lights appear, then this is a disaster. On February 16 and 27, 2023, the northern lights with red color were observed by residents of various countries from Russia to Australia. Somewhere the aurora happened for the first time, somewhere it has not been seen for a very long time, and here it is also with a red color.

The fact is that the northern lights are an effect that appears when cosmic radiation penetrates the Earth through a magnetic field, and there is nothing good about it. In polar latitudes, this is still acceptable: the field of our planet redirects the impact there. But if the aurora ceases to be northern and appears closer to the equator, then this suggests that the Earth's magnetic field does not sufficiently protect us from cosmic radiation. And the red color means that the penetrating radiation is so harsh that it begins to “burn out” oxygen in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which gives the radiance a red hue.

Such an active destruction of air molecules and specifically oxygen is an extremely dangerous phenomenon for all of us. After all, we breathe oxygen, and with such a massive combustion, it will not be so easy to restore it, given that we actively destroy the main lungs of the planet - oceanic ecosystems, polluting the oceans with petroleum products.

In addition, the destruction of air molecules causes its discharge, and if this happens not in the far north, but to the south, in air travel zones, then it becomes simply dangerous to fly. In Finland, for example, on February 27, they even had to deploy a flying plane so that it would not fall under the radiation stream.

The Northern Lights were observed even in the Moscow region. Yes, even a weak, bright photo did not work out from here, but this phenomenon should not go that far.

The red Northern lights are dangerous primarily because it is a signal of a significant weakening of the Earth's magnetic field. And we know that in the history of the planet, every weakening of the magnetic field was accompanied by a period of global catastrophes. This is the so-called 12,000–year cycle of magnetic excursions and, by all accounts, the next period of weakening of the magnetic field is now. That's what we see when we look at the red northern lights.

We should not admire this aurora, but demand honest answers from specialists. What weakens our magnetic field? What else does it threaten us with? And what can we contrast at our level of scientific and technological development? Moreover, all the reasons are known to science, they just, you see, do not want to scare us.

No, admiring the red northern lights certainly does not hurt, but still, I also want to survive in the coming years.

We know for sure that the northern lights have a negative impact on people, we know that the red lights destroy our atmosphere, and now we know that all this is due to the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field, which is created by the core of the planet. The core of the planet is the forge of climate. So if we don't want to die in the coming years from climate disasters, then the red northern lights are amazingly beautiful, but from afar, in the north. And it would be better if he didn't exist at all. We should unite and find a solution to this problem.
