So will this affect global warming? Will liberals lecture us that we have to panic and do drastic things to change our lives, due to this polar shift?????
Sorry to be so cynical, but, get the feeling that somebody somewhere will use this to make a political statement................
Man, is this going to mess up the weird gal who lives inside my Garmin!
Only?
“Earth’s magnetic poles could flip sooner than originally expected”
Could being the key word here. Yellowstone could go off. The Cascadia Subduction Zone could cut loose. Some giant asteroid could hit us. Some black hole could swallow us. I’m not losing any sleep over any of the above.
Who will be the first to blame Bush?
It had better hurry up.
I smell a government grant in the making.
Or not.
Will west and east stay the same?
During the magnetic flip, will the earth lose it’s gravitational pull? Will people begin to float up into the sky?
The article title is a bit misleading. The article says it could flip in a lifetime, not in our lifetime.
No worries... Our fearless leader will appoint a “Magnetic Pole Shift Czar”. Problem solved.
It better hurry up because our lifetimes are being shortened every day under the obola administration.
So does Australia become Up Over?

Of course the Wash Compost will lead with “women and minorities hurt the most.”
Why not? Collectivists have re-defined everything else, the whole earth might as well go up-is-down too.
The only havoc that a reversal would wreak is interference in the global electric grid.

Love the way this writer tosses that off as if it’s NBD....
If all the people on earth held onto magnets and pointed them to the earth’s core we could flip it back..... so sayeth my illogic.
Corrolary: Earth’s magnetic poles could flip later than originally expected.
Yellowstone Caldera could explode catastrophically in our lifetime.
A ELE meteor could strike earth in our lifetime.
The San Andreas Fault could trigger a magnitude 15 quake in our lifetime.
Bigfoot could be captured in our lifetime.
Iceland volcanoes could destroy half of Iceland in our lifetime.
Real scientists could devise a way to get the actual climate data of the last 20,000 years and get a handle on the "global Warming" issue.
The ignoramuses in National government could finally realize that "Global Warming is a monumental scam and that CO2 is a natural gas essential to life on earth and to a balanced planetary environment.
Anything is possible, but I don't plan to put my affairs in order just yet. But I will continue to campaign against delusional controlling twits, official ones or delusional ones.
