Earth's poles long overdue for reversal

We’ll know it’s happening when birds start flying upside-down.

Better check again...the “wonderful instruments” of science may need some maintenance or replacement. Looks like a job for...The Mythbusters.

Earth's poles long overdue for reversal

Does that mean RATS will then only debate globull warming bills in the winter months of June and July? I'm jazzed!

How can we help this process along? Suddenly stop the SUV during a green light? Sleep on the left side of the bed instead of the right? Turn our refrigerators around so the magnets face the other way?

I want to know.

Human beings have survived reversals in the past,

I don't believe it!

Good one!

For some unknown reason, a side hobbie at best, I have been following earthquake activity sense 1973 to the present (USGS) and charting such as an Excel project. I see no general increase in earthquack activity over that period of time. More earthquacks here, fewer there … but the overall activity has, for the most part, been stable.

Perhaps you are right, when the overall earthquake activity increases significantly … the predicted magnetic swap could be soon.

Humm not unless the rotation changed also or you have iron in you waste.

Not even the same article, and over five years old!

You really need a hobby, dude.

That's right. Inquiring minds want to know. In fact, could you come over, L. I need help turning the fridge around. :-)

This story is old news. I knew this already and have been saying it for a long time.

I thought that a magnetic field reversal would let more cosmic radiation down onto the Earth’s surface which would greatly increase the mutation rate for all exposed life exposed to it.

[Libloather]

...which would greatly increase the mutation rate for all exposed life exposed to it.

Would there be any life that wasn't exposed to it?

"More earthquacks here, fewer there … but the overall activity has, for the most part, been stable."

Hate those earthquacks

[doc1019]

Gee, a missed spelled word here, a missed spelled word there … human I is. LOL! ;-)

[doc1019]

Yea, I know … missed (?) … having fun at my own expense. ;-) And I could go on forever!

[headsonpikes]

Hate those earthquacks

Then just duck.

Dang. I knew I’d regret getting that B.A. in college.

lol....Hey you had to pick something right!!!
