- Each narrated check links to its moment in the 1-hour-42-minute source video; 15 additional claims are noted in text.
Field notes
The displayed verdict tally is 12 false, 2 misleading, 2 unsupported, 1 partly true and 1 true. The first narrated check challenges the description of the 1859 Carrington flare as “small,” while retaining the video's broader point that severe geomagnetic storms pose risks. Each entry includes cited sources, and the full topic list includes seven checks not marked in the video.
