I have a degree in geology and a few of us were talking about this in a discussion the other day. We actually have no idea what happens when the magnetic pole flips. We know it does flip and we notice that the rate of change has increased recently. Yes S skjl47 is right. It has flipped multiple times. The change in magnetic fields can be correlated across spreading centres within mid Atlantic ridges. Ferrous minerals within the basalts from the mid ocean ridge cool in the direction of the magnetic fields. I’m sure all of you have seen the science experiment with a magnet placed underneath iron shavings? Same thing. Similar magnetic reversals can be seen on mars within the Southern hemisphere as well.
Yes, North becomes south. What happens during that brief instand when there is no magnetic field? How long will that last?
I feel bad for the poor snowbirds thinking they are flying south for the winter then you see my frozen ass at the airport in Canada flying north to the warm weather
Still too early to tell...if it keeps up in the next 20 years then yea maybe.Do you guys think its possible the poles flip during this new 200 yr window because of the increase in movement from yr to yr, or possibly just being over hyped?
Smh.Scientists have now discovered what's causing the poles to move.
Are you ready for the surprise? Are you ready? wait...wait....wait...<drumroll>...Global Warming!

Yes, that's right the nasty overused global warming excuse. Next time I'm late for work...it's global warming. I overslept by 5 minutes...it's global warming. My dog ate my homework...it's global warming.
I should have linked the article. I did a search and found this(not the same article)Hello; I have a mild interest in knowing what sort of mechanism in natural forces would tie global warming to magnetic pole reversal. Since we have a very good record of pole reversal in solid rock on the seafloor over millions of years and can estimate climatic conditions thru the fossil records then there ought to be a way to test this idea.
