Science? We don’t need no stinking science.

I didn’t see any...either.

It's a fact that the magnetic field is shifting East at 35-40 miles per year, up from just 9 miles/year since 1904. Whether or not it's causing superstorms hasn't been proven scientifically. The Salem-News article presents one theory. Another article in the Daily Mail says the shift is just a minor inconvenience.

Excerpt: Changes in our planet's core are causing the north magnetic pole to speed towards Russia at nearly 40 miles a year. But the affects of the magnetic shift are being felt over 3,500 miles south of the Arctic - at Tampa International Airport. The Sunshine State hub has been forced to shut down its primary runway until next week so that numeric designators at the end of runways and taxiway signage can be altered to account for the magnetic pole's movement....

The movement of the Earth's north magnetic pole towards Siberia are caused by rapid changes in the magnetism of the planet's core. The latest changes are the most dramatic in a century - the pole had been begun moving to the northeast at about 9 miles per year in 1904 but since 2007 has been racing towards Siberia by at least 35 miles each year.
