NASA has been warning about it…scientific papers have been written about it…geologists have seen its traces in rock strata and ice core samples... Now "it" is here: an unstoppable magnetic pole shift that has sped up and is causing life-threatening havoc with the world's weather.
Forget about global warming—man-made or natural—what drives planetary weather patterns is the climate and what drives the climate is the sun's magnetosphere and its electromagnetic interaction with a planet's own magnetic field.
When the field shifts, when it fluctuates, when it goes into flux and begins to become unstable anything can happen. And what normally happens is that all hell breaks loose.

THX THX.
END TIMES LIST—MAYBE THERE’S MORE to pay attention to on this than I’ve wanted to believe . . . for those interested, the article may have some significant information.
No, it's iron mining and construction, redistributing the global iron balance. The iron earth core follows it like a compass needle.
Women, children, and the people of Africa hurt worst by those evil white capitalists like Carnegie.
It's even the Pittsburgh Steeler's fault.
Root for Green Bay. If the Steelers win, we're toast.
Wait a minute...where’s the words about AGW in this article??!! Even if this guy is off a tad, surely there must be some mention of how man is destroying everything and nature having little or nothing to do with it. Next thing they’re going to tell us that warmth comes from the sun or some other nonsense.
Or it might have been Noah's Flood which occurred suddenly Very interesting hypothetical construct.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
and from a tropical climate to one with a frigid climate.
I just keep coming across your picture,...wipes out my train of thought...hmmmm....
Here's the latest NASA sunspot graph:
Back in 2007, the model was predicting a peak around 150 sometime in 2011. In 2008, this changed to peaking around 140 in 2013. Now it's a peak around 60 (Dalton Minimum level) in 2013. From the looks of this graph, I'm thinking they might have gotten the timing right (2011 or so) and the amplitude VERY wrong. If we have a very low peak (30-40), look for a decade of cold weather, crop failures, and global famine.
Looking at that chart it looks like 2000 was a bad year, much worse than what is supposedly coming?
Three of Next Five Winters Could be as Cold or Colder [long-term climate to turn colder]
Accuweather ^ | Feb 2, 2011 | Joe Bastardi
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2667328/posts
This winter is on track to become the coldest for the nation as a whole since the 1980s or possibly even the late 1910s. According to AccuWeather.com Chief Long Range Forecaster Joe Bastardi, three or four out of the next five winters could be just as cold, if not colder.
He is worried that next winter, for example, will be colder than this one.
Bastardi adds that with the U.S. in the middle of one of its worst recessions in its history and the price of oil in question, he is extremely concerned about the prospect for more persistent cold weather in the coming years putting increased financial hardship on Americans.
“Cold is a lot worse than warm,” Bastardi said, “and that’s why your energy bill goes up during the winter time: because of the fact that it takes a lot to heat a house.”
While there are many different factors that are playing into Bastardi’s forecast, one of the primary drivers is La Niña and the trends that have been observed in winters that follow the onset of a La Niña.
Current La Nina Signals More Cold Winters Ahead
La Niña occurs when sea surface temperatures across the equatorial central and eastern Pacific are below normal. La Niña and its counterpart, El Niño, which occurs when sea surface temperatures of the same region are above normal, have a large influence on the weather patterns that set up across the globe.
The current La Niña, which kicked in this past summer, is unprecedented after becoming the strongest on record in December 2010. Bastardi thinks this La Niña will last into next year, though it will be weaker, and will not disappear completely until 2012.
According to Bastardi, studies over the past 100 years or so show that after the first winter following the onset of a La Niña, the next several winters thereafter tend to be colder than normal in the U.S.
He says the first winter during a La Niña tends to be warm. The next winter that follows is usually less warm, and the winter after that is usually cold.
“There’s a natural tendency for that to happen because of the large-scale factors,” Bastardi commented. “What’s interesting about what we’re seeing here is that [the current La Niña] is starting so cold.”
Temperatures this winter so far are averaging below normal across much of the eastern two-thirds of the country.
He adds, “If the past predicts the future, then the first year La Niña is warmer than the combination of the following two.”
He said that with the exception of the winters of 1916-1917 and 1917-1918, the first year of every moderate or stronger La Niña available for study has featured a warmer-than-normal winter from the Plains eastward. This winter, it has been colder than normal.
Taking a look at one of the exceptions, the La Niña winter of 1916-1917, colder-than-normal conditions were observed across the northern part of the Plains and East (not the South). Bastardi said that never before have colder-than-normal conditions been observed across the South during a first-year La Niña winter, as has been the case this winter.
If this winter, which has been colder than normal across the eastern two-thirds of the country, is historically supposed to be the warmest of the next three winters for the U.S., according to Bastardi, we have some frigid times ahead.
Bastardi: Shift to Colder Climate Predicted Next 20-30 Years
Bastardi thinks that not only will the next few winters be colder than normal for much of the U.S., but that the long-term climate will turn colder over the next 20 to 30 years.
“What’s interesting about what we’re seeing here is that [the current La Niña] is starting so cold,” said Bastardi, “and it’s coinciding with bigger things that are pushing the overall weather patterns and climate in the Northern Hemisphere and, in fact, globally over the next 20 to 30 years that we have not really dealt with, nor can we really quantify.”
“That ties into a lot of this arguing over climate change,” he added.
Bastardi has pointed out that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), which is a pattern of Pacific climate variability that shifts phases usually about every 20 to 30 years, has shifted into a “cold” or “negative” phase.
Over the past 30 years or so, according to Bastardi, the PDO has been “warm” or “positive.”
This change to a cold PDO over the next 20 to 30 years, he says, will cause La Niñas to be stronger and longer than El Niños. Bastardi adds that when El Niños do kick in, if they try to come on strong like they did last year, they will get “beaten back” pretty quickly.
“When you have a cold PDO and lots of La Niñas, when El Niños do come on, you generally tend to have cold, snowy weather patterns across the U.S.,” Bastardi said. “That’s what we saw in the 1960s and 1970s.”
Heh, we’ve been planning a move back to MS, and hope like heck we can do it before next winter! I’d much rather winter in a place that’s relatively warmer. We’ve been living north of the Mason-Dixon line for far too long, and ANY winter in the South, after these last few in the North, will seem warmer, by comparison! ;o)
Thanks for the ping!
It isn’t entirely bunk but MSM won’t touch it.
Bastardi - He’s right of course but once you realize that you become like him.

Your compass will still point to the magnetic north, it’s not going to start pointing south...the shift isn’t great enough yet. By the time it is great enough to have it point differently from North, we all will have been celestially spanked and you compass will be smashed to smithereens.
The decrease in sunspots coincides with past ice ages.
