I know that, I said, (Yes to your question)...it very well may take the same course, but, it hasn't in a very long time which should egg us on to look at what might of changed.
However, and again, we see how the pole reversal happens on the sun but we don't know why it happens...we know even less about earth.

The study was of the magnetic field of the Sun Not the Earth's. My wonder was as to whether the magnetic field of the Earth could do the same thing, though in a much longer time span.

It's just a guess as to what the leftest idiots will blame that on...you know, it's gona be YOUR fault!

Hear that, Mad Maxine?

Hi Nickursis,
The pole shift will not cause a shift or tilt of the continent The biggest concern is as the poles reverse the Magnetisphere weakens as it is doing now that is our shield from solar and cosmic debris. Cosmic rays help form clouds this shades the planet and does not allow as much of the radiance to warm thins up.

There is a hypothesis that with a weakened Magnetisphere , the Earth's interaction with solar flares ,CME's and the combining of hydrogen and oxygen sucked into the ionosphere may create water and explain some of the planets water

Our technology definitely would be in danger, however. Even now, solar storms can damage satellites, cause power outages and interrupt radio communications. These kinds of negative influences clearly will increase if the magnetic field and thus its shielding function became significantly weaker, e.g. during a reversal, and it will be important to find mitigation strategies,

One additional worry is that a weakening and eventual reversal in the field would disorient all those species that rely on geomagnetism for navigation, including bees, salmon, turtles, whales, bacteria and pigeons. There is no scientific consensus on how those creatures would cope.

Continental shifts?

Many of the disaster scenarios associated with geomagnetic pole reversals in popular imagination are pure fantasy, the scientists said. There definitely won't be any break-up or shift of the continents.

I live 150 miles from the Yellowstone Caldera. It's supposed to blow any day. I'll wait...........

Yes, but it hasn't happened in 780K years where before that, science claims it was a 250K years or so cycle...somethin changed?

It was interesting that the article mentions that the pole wanderings 40K years ago failed to reverse...somethin changed...

Ole Earl was right about that strange secret: You become what you think about most of the time.

if it happens who will let us know it happened?

The event will be much ado about nothing for the average person trying to forget politics.

Wasn't there a computer study of the twisting, turning, entangled magnetic field of the Sun that showed that the poles of the magnetic field will spontaneously shift after a time, just as it does about every 11 years. Not sure that the same process could happen, though much more slowly, with the Earth's core's magnetic fields.

Where did the article mention 'global' or 'warming', let alone, any human causation for pole shifts. One error is that the north pole of a compass points to the north pole. But as a magnet, the Earth's north pole is a south magnetic pole since the north pole of a magnet tends to point that way.

The writer didn't actually blame the flip on global warming, but she still had to throw that out there about pouring cancerous toxins into the atmosphere. It had no relevance to the flip discussion.

Magnetic pole flips do happen, and when they do, yes, you would have global climate change. The most reasonable cause for them is a celestial alignment with the Milky Way that formed the theme for the ancient Mayan calendar and the concern on 12/21/2012.

So, yes, global climate change could happen. Is it? Not yet, anyway.

Sounds like a book I read called the HAB Theory.

You're gonna be called a racist for writing that.

If the poles do switch, those in advanced nations will take it the hardest being unable to cope without technology. Even most modern farm tractors use GPS. You can bet that the US will be worse off than many African nations as rioting, looting, and gangs ravage major cities when the power fails.

IS there proof of any sort that the magnetic poles actually rotate? I have been hearing about this action taking place for years. the recent writing says it happens every 200,000 to 300,000 years so why is it now almost 800,000 years and still waiting. when of IF it happens in my life time I will know what it is like, until them life goes on as usual which is why the global warmers are trying to use the action as some sort of support. just the usual these days.

I will not drive something connected to the "cloud", ever. I am not convinced they are safe and I work for one of the big players, and they have no good answers, just a lot of "it's great". It will be a huge burst of build out for the infrastructure, but one little twitch and boom.

Every 11 years I think, going from solar minimum to solar max.
Of course, the next solar max won't be much of a maximum during a Grand Solar Minimum. I worry about our weakened shields...even small sun spot flairs will disrupt our electrical systems.

Just think what that might do to those robotic cars they will shove us into...sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen...

How often is that occurring?

Global warming has become the left's sky is falling mystical excuse for everything.

I still think that process, if it is causation, would depend on some other process or effect. We can see "what" happens each time the sun's poles flip but we still have no idea "why" it happens.

Well now the defences are going up and they even had to blame it on....wait.....you guessed it GLOBAL WARMING! Thanks Nat Geo for adding in as much pseudo science as you could mixed with political diatribe...

Well, I was rather interested in the "iron and nickle leaving the core" statement, since would that not change the magnetic moment and make a flip possible?
