A brief complete reversal, known as the Laschamp event, occurred only 41,000 years ago during the last glacial period. That reversal lasted only about 440 years with the actual change of polarity lasting around 250 years. During this change the strength of the magnetic field dropped to 5% of its present strength.[1] Brief disruptions that do not result in reversal are called geomagnetic excursions.

But, you notice the magnetic field dropped during those 440 years to as low as 5% of what we were used to in the 20th Century from about 1900 to around 2000. And the magnetic field is unbalanced and faltering at times right now especially in the polar regions. This creates "Cracks" in the magnetosphere which sometimes lets in Cosmic rays which mutate genetics right now in polar regions especially here on earth.
When this is particularly bad now is when there are Solar Flares because our magnetosphere no longer protects us from the magnetic effects of solar plasma and even GPS satellites often turn upside down and can't transmit to earth during a Solar Flare already.
So, basically while we are vulnerable like we are now, God help us if a Solar Flare hit at the size of the 1859 Carrington event, it not only would likely knock out all satellites facing the sun at that time but could also short out Electrical generation stations facing the sun as well.
And another Carrington event is not if it is only when.

Note: I've noticed Wikipedia quotes are loading different than before so something must be up with them. However, I'm not sure exactly what it is.
Or it could be something as simple as the government doesn't want people to know about the Carrington event or the fact that another one isn't if but only when. Or maybe they figure what you don't know about won't hurt you (until you are dead from it). (and then maybe it won't matter.
Think about this scenario and you will understand why I'm concerned about this.
Humans go ahead with automating all cars for the reason that computers (most of the time) have faster reflexes than humans and might prevent more accidents (most of the time). Then we have a Carrington Event and all automated cars on that side of the planet are non-functional. If an automated car (self driving car) had it's memory shorted out how many thousands or millions of people would die in a rush hour on earth if this happened then? 100,000 1 million? or more? And this could happen any time in the next 500 years.
This is not if. This is only when?
