Another fiendish conspiracy brought to us by BushRoveHalliburton!

[SteveH]

What now-- global degaussing? ;-)

[freedumb2003]

The discovery has led experts to question whether the Earth is on track towards a polarity reversal.

In the Left's dreams.

[garyhope]

Another damn thing to worry about.

[VRWC_PA]

Does AlGore know about this yet?

[MissEdie]

I read in a science magazine several years ago that some scientists believe that the last ice age was brought on by a shift in the magnetic poles.

[Captain Rhino]

My thoughts exactly.

If John Kerry were President, he would have already had a plan to stop this dangerous magnetic decline; a sad, sad situation brought on entirely by the incompetence of the current administration. < / sarcasm>

[FDNYRHEROES]

"Can Dead Men Vote Twice?" has taken on a whole new significance...

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

The field’s strength is now declining at a rate that suggests it could virtually disappear in about 2000 years. Researchers have speculated that this ongoing change may be the prelude to a magnetic reversal, during which the north and south magnetic pole swap places.

.. it's Bush's fault

[Kenny Bunk]

Rave on, Right Wing Mad Man!

This bi-polar trend is caused by the wanton, (in China Won-Ton) use of electric motors. Yes, Earth-Raper, every time you turn on your electric toothbrush, you are adding to the problem by creating a stray magnetic field which causes direct harm to women, gays, members of minority groups, and children, who will suffer most when the poles flip, which will surely happen before Bush is impeached, if we don't act quickly.

Thank God (if there is one) that Al Gore and John Kerry are on this alarming environmental disaster.

[Drango]

I've got to stop pushing the degauss button on my monitor.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

what would happen in a pole reversal?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Depends.

The current "position" of the north magnetic pole is very, very rapidly moving away from north Canada up and across the Arctic. It's rate of movement is much more rapid now than at any time since it was first measured.

Symptomatic of SOMETHING changing.

But, of course,it's America's (Bush's) fault.

And San Andreus' Fault. 8<)

[Tolkien]

Well, since right is wrong and wrong is right, North is South and South is North. North America is letting in so many South Americans, we North Americans can now move to South America, fix their screwed up governments and when the poles flip again, yada yada yada..... Never mind.

[From The Deer Stand]

You mean when I'm lost in the wood my compass that says North may really be West, or South if it says East, or North if it says South,or ......

[genefromjersey]

I am (to my continuing regret) a "New Scientist" subscriber.When the magazine comes, I scrape off the mailing label, and put it in the "donate to library" pile.

[Onelifetogive]

a magnetic reversal, during which the north and south magnetic pole swap places.

The earth is bi-polar? I'm thinking aerial spraying of Zoloft.

[Thinkin' Gal]

The voyages of Captain Cook have just yielded a new discovery:...

He was cooked in huli huli sauce and tasted like chicken?

[quadrant]

No doubt the problem is caused by global warming.

[aShepard]

The UFO's better recalibrate their compasses.

They might miss Earth!

[Bones75]

In other news: other stuff happening for billions of years.. still happening. ;-)
