Are solar super flares overdue?

 These are interesting articles indicating the possibility that huge solar flares or superflares are much more frequent than previously thought, and can be larger in magnitude than previously thought, of course these could pose dangers to the electric grid, satellites and astronauts, including colonists on the moon or mars.

If the super flares come now it will be just in time to melt an iceberg the size of Greater London that just broke free in the Antarctic. Always look on the bright side of life.
