Boy, I wonder what the animals, insects and etc that use these magnetic field lines for migration will do?
Go the wrong way?

And whose fault is it, class? The first to come up with the right answer will get half a point.

There is an annual change noted on updated marine navigation charts. The "compass rose" and associated magnetic lines on nautical charts have always been changing.
This planet is not dead. It will always be going through cycles.

I removed the image from your post. It is a Getty image and they have asked that none of their images be linked on FR

But how is this Bush's fault and how can we tie it to the immigration issue.. it just won't be a Freep thread without those two items.

Did they reveal the tale in a long, boring poem?

In our area the annual increase in variation is 9 minutes westerly. I've been told that in time that will change and begin to decrease, but I can't remember by who told me that, so don't know if that is considered reliable (that the increase will eventually decrease).

Of serious interest... I'll be something to watch, for sure...
There should be some period (hard to say how long) of very patchy flux patterns of the magnetic field... then a sort of a "snap" of the new polar-reversed field into place. Perhaps resulting in a period of somewhat stronger, thought reversed polarity, magnetic field.
Should be fairly interesting. :-)
