Really? But surely Brexit is to blame...after all the sun only shines on us because we are tied to the corrupt EU

and a solar storm is only going to hit britain is it it would actually cause world wide damage so every country is in the same boat and would face similar or even far higher damage costs, you don't need Oxford University to tell you that surely?

the sun could explode but it won’t. yet.

I blinking well knew that Brexit would cause the sun to explode!😜

Aliens could land next week and enslave the entire human race... or maybe not...

Bring it on, it’s cheaper than Brexit

Old news and old facts. The sun is up and affects the earth.

There were serious questions about repairing the national grid due to parts being available in the 1980's and I wonder if the position has changed today if the grid went down and needed large repairs carried out.

Mmm,bloody Brexit !

And no Mars Bars after Brexit!

Let me guess, if we pay a solar storm tax we can save humanity.

Could this possibly happen before brexit by any chance as it sounds more interesting

Well, that's good to know preventing the spread of Islamic cancer in that portion of the Earth. 🌎 Good news! 🌞❌☪

This is nothing new and has been known for some time.

Bloody Brexit.

well them parasites Conservatives UKLabour and the royal family be alright after all we are just their fodder , we create the cream they steal it give us the sour shit , but in times of great need where are they , tell you where they are licking their fingers like KFC !!!

Could,might , maybe .........Perhaps or maybe I could build a bunker and hibernate a while

Just Britain!! How awful!

Let me guess, it needs more money for more research that just so happens to be done by this oxford department.....rentseekers everywhere

After Brexit, that would be the coup de grâce for Britain.

This is an improvement from oxford university who normally try to scare us with horror stories about global warming, and Brexit Armageddon At last something we can all believe in 😂👍🏻

Earth’s CO2 emissions and plastic straws ruining the solar system...

Goodness me,I suggest we focus on things that we can actually have some control over to save us 13 billion ! For blooming hell sake, stop reporting nonsense, Happy Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🍾

That's only if we leave the EU without an agreement.

What a lie

Probably blaming brexit.
