That site not only does science education, but its founder Deborah Byrd also replies to comments from her website visitors, with a skeptical view. The commenters generally see the End Of The World in solar flares: Comment: "I believe that a flare big enough [...] would affect the Earth’s magnetic field. [...] the magnetic field is weakening [...] flare lets get some volcanoes and earth quakes [...] infastructure collapse?" Reply: "We see too much about possible disasters that are, essentially, out of the control of people like you and me. There’s way too much fear-mongering going on in the world." Comment: "It does not concern me so much what a powerful X-Class flare may do to our technology, but more importantly what it may do to our bodies on a cellular level." Reply: "We humans evolved under the influence of solar flares, including x-flares. They have been happening for all of human history. We’ll be fine." Comment: "...wouldn’t that mean that massive solar flares will damage the ozone layer?" Reply: "The concern most people talk about is not to Earth itself – or our human bodies – but to our technology."
