Actually, its not the amount of solar flares thats abnormal. This is the typical amount for the peak of its 11 year cycle. Its the strength of them, we keep getting big ones. While this is certainly a historic event, I wouldn't start preaching the end of the world any time soon. Hell, a hundred years ago you'd never even realize them, save maybe for some extra Auroras further south.

Besides, for all we know this could be the typical pattern, and we're coming out of an abnormally dry solar flare cycle. We can examine the irydium (sp??) content in polar glaciers to get an idea of the suns activity from the last 1000 years (and this hasnt happened yet), but thats still 0.0000002% of the sun's lifetime that we can examine.
