Ask HN: Why is the tech world quiet on the possible impact of solar flares?

With the last wave of solar flares it seems that GPS tracking is going to unpredictable/inaccurate for some time in the near future. With the predicted (and predictable) increase in solar flares up to 2013 how come there's barely any discussion on this? Forget debt ceilings. This hitting could destroy everything the life we are used to is built on.

Now I know that some of this is speculative on my part but my question still stands. Why is there little to no noise about it?
