earths magnetic poles are moving faster

the earth's magnetic polez are moving at an unusually rapid speed, currently some 34 miles per year, according to ^^^this recent publication. their reported numbers are inconsistent, but the 8ncrease appears significant.

this may presage a magnetic flip, which happens every several hundred thousand years or so. the last one was about 750,000 years back, so we re overdue.

during a polar flip tbe earths magnetic field first weakens and becomes unstable, then swaps end for end. during the weakened period solar radiation could cause disruptioj to the network of electrical and electronic devices and networks that we depend on;

By 1985 enough millions will have died to reduce the earth's population to some acceptable level, like 1.5 billion people. -- Paul R. Ehrlich, 1969

I met a magnetic Pole once - she was a knock out.  And, as it says in the title, she moved away from me rather quickly.

So, you are taking someone's word for it? 

[billy rubin]

sure

i'm taking your own word as true that you exist, too.

you re not being rude about it.

The changing of the poles was one of the key pieces of evidence that pointed towards continental drift.
