The Culture War Podcast with Tim Pool Radiation At 20 YEAR HIGH, Solar Storm GETS WORSE, Airbus Says WE ARE NOT READY
Dec 4, 2025
Tim dives into the intriguing rise in auroras across the U.S., sparking theories about magnetic pole shifts and infrastructure risks. He highlights significant radiation levels at flight altitudes due to recent solar flares and discusses the implications of G3 solar storms. The conversation touches on elite bunker-building motives and the debate between scientific and pseudoscientific perspectives on pole shifts. Finally, Tim emphasizes the risks posed to technology by solar storms and shares personal preparedness insights amid this cosmic turbulence.

Episode notes
Auroras And Infrastructure Risk
- Tim Pool links rising aurora sightings and tech outages to increased solar activity and a weakening magnetosphere.
- He suggests these patterns could indicate higher near-term risk to infrastructure than usual solar cycles imply.
Record Radiation Spikes On Flights
- Tim Pool cites Gizmodo and Surrey Space Center data showing radiation spikes at 40,000 feet up to 10x normal levels.
- He emphasizes this was the strongest ground‑level event since December 2006 and that bigger events remain possible.
Current Solar Maximum Alerts
- Tim Pool reviews NOAA's G3 geomagnetic storm warning and expected aurora reach across many U.S. states.
- He frames the current solar maximum as a period of elevated risk with rapid changes possible.
