Side note: it seem to me that the impact of the Carrington Event has been vastly overstated. Readers here would probably assume that was on purpose and part of the existential strategy of tension to which we are all subject.
Really, take a look at that section of the wiki. There is no mention of any damage, only descriptions of the bright and spectacular auroras, and that telegraph operators ran their connection for two hours without battery power.
Fear-mongers and the fearful will wave their hands around about what "could happen" in our modern technological age, but then that's what fear-mongers and the fearful do, isn't it?
The realistic threat, if any, is that "They" will one day see fit to cut off your electricity, Internet, and cell, then scream, "cArRiNgToN eVeNt!" Almost everyone would fall for such a ruse.
I can attest you are right about the lack of information surrounding it. I think iv only found 1 book and a handful of papers about it. Although i have a differing opinion on why there is this lack of info, I must say you do have a good point.
One Youtuber who is heavily promoting this and making a living out of it always ends his videos with: "Be Safe Everyone" which is highly reminiscent of "Stay Safe Everyone". It's like the covid hoax all over again.
I guess people are bored from following the weather so they follow the sun magnetic weather now.
They always used to say, "sex sells", but I think these days fear sells better. And if you're a buyer, you're not just some perv who wastes time looking at hot chicks, you're "in the know".

Exactly, why would I trust the liars at NASA? The entire thing is faith based.
