Where did I get the 65K from? Hmm -- It'll come to me.

Info on the pole shift.

Hmmm... then nothing to worry about, unlike the West Coast and the Juan De Fuca plate and Cascadia Subduction Zone, every 350 years, last was in January 1700.....

less frequent than 65,000 years: The caldera formed during the last of three supereruptions over the past 2.1 million years: the Huckleberry Ridge eruption 2.1 million years ago (which created the Island Park Caldera and the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff); the Mesa Falls eruption 1.3 million years ago (which created the Henry's Fork Caldera and the Mesa Falls Tuff); and the Lava Creek eruption approximately 630,000 years ago (which created the Yellowstone Caldera and the Lava Creek Tuff).[5]

Apparently it blows every 65,000 years or so, give or take a couple thousand. Not much in terms of earth time but a pretty big variable in terms of humankind--time.I don't mind too much as I plan to be a few electrical charges floating around in the atmosphere by then.

You know they are going to blame it on mankind...you'll hear about it for months!!!

Thank you.

Ben Davidson of Suspicious Observers just put out this video debunking lamestream nonsense in regards to Magnetic Pole Flips.
The worst we can expect would be due to the weakening of our magnetic shields which at present about 25% Down; making us extremely vulnerable to cosmic radiation.
The WORST of times to make everything computer dependent, not to mention the risks to human health.

That's happening here in CT./New England, as a recent article states from satellite imagery but will take a long time to manifest into anything to be concerned with.

Laughing out loud!

And I'd be perfectly okay with not observing this in person! ;)

That's right...no fear, we can only speculate.

My understanding is that it depends on how fast the pole shifts. There are some theories which state that it was a catastrophic and sudden pole shift which cause the demise of the dinosaurs, and scientists have found information to correlate pole shifts with catastrophic seasonal shifts and weather pattern changes. None of this can be verified since the last pole change was likely before humans were present on the planet. On the other hand, this article is suggesting that a slowly-migrating pole would deplete the ionosphere, making radio communications more difficult and making us more susceptible to cosmic radiation - especially a CME.

I guess until it actually happens, we won't know much for sure.

Exactly, and they keep saying how each car will need to send gigabits per second to the cloud and recieve it, but I can't get a cell signal for a good bit of my drive home, and when you ask about that idea you get "don't worry it will work with 5G". Yea, I will wait and see how many years it will take for 5g to become standard.....

I'm with you on this one, nickursis. I've been coding chemical and industrial systems since 1972. Retired now, but still manage to get into a "project" from time to time. Scored a lot of success in my time, but a couple of decades ago I helped bring up a chemical making system that was "huge". It was in a very large building spanning multiple floors and involved a host of systems communicating with each other to make product "more profitable than the Fed can print money". We really knew what we were doing. We were cutting edge. We were engineering and programming gods! Then one day lightning hit the building. Multiple times! A mess. Ever since that time I ask myself for every system I was was associated with or had to use: "What happens when lightning hits the building?" I don't like the idea of a "cloud" car, either. What's the recovery plan when you're cruising on the freeway at 70+mph happily immersed in reading the Gulch and "lightning hits the building"?

Sad but true commentary...

I put a weather vain on my house when I built it...has the n-s-e-w directional and a beautiful large sail boat that turns into the wind, (all copper)...I have to go up their and change the directionals...gone from 15° to 24° in just 21 years.

Well, it seems to coincide with the sunspot cycle, and a star is a giant fusion plant with it's heaviest elements in the center, and rorating rather fast. All that plasma seems to generate huge lines of force, so I am sure someone should have modeled cause and effect as to how the magnetic moment is being transferred. I would think an astronomy major might go for that thesis, at some point.

It always is, then you get the bill for "your fair share".

That was what I saw too, why mention it at all except to prove to her fellow "scientists" she is a "true believer".

Anything magnetic would seem to be effected, even if we cash in on the new market for stick on "N" and "S" to fix all the various equipment that would be reversed, eh?

I agree, with the provisio that there may be something we do not know of in regards to this "migration" of iron and nickle" from the core, if it can exude from the corre, and become influenced by the effects of rotation, maybe it will push upwards into a level that results in more crustal heating, making it more fluid and allow for larger, longer eruptions? That might ruin our day....

Well, I would say there are enough facts to point to a change in global climate, over the last 100 years or so (remember climate is measured in 30 year increments) so that is 3 points to use. Does it correlate to panic? Just that society as a whole needs to think how it will deal with changes to overall climate, movements of growing areas (wine makers have already moved north fro Kalifornia into Oregon and Washington because of warmer weather and drier conditions in that wasteland of humanity), and changes to crops (corn needs more water that others). Megafauna extinctions have happened before because of climate changes which is why the warming of the arctic is not so unusual, since it obviously was much warmer at one time, so why would it HAVE to stay cold always. Maybe it is part of the change in magnetic pole locations, their strength, or their traveling nature. Maybe the Sun? Definitely not the "blame it all on man" theory.

Are you serious? It's good for at least 10 minutes on CNN and a photo plus column in the newspapers. @24 hour news needs all the help it can get.

I am not sure a pole shift would effect our power grids but I am sure, that it would mess up our navigation for a bit.
I read something that stated: pilots/ships that fly or sail in extreme northern or southern regions get daily updates for compass settings. GPS setting would also have to be reprogrammed of updated frequently.
