The magnetic north pole has moved 161 miles in 6 months only, this puts its arrival in Siberia in less that 2 years, and it is when it arrives there that it will have migrated 40 degrees across the northern hemisphere at this point the poles will shift at high speed over the equator until it reaches 40 degrees south, i will tell you what i expect to happen when it goes past the 40 degrees point in the coming uploads...

Thanks for the ping. Magnetic pole shift is fascinating. The north magnetic pole is moving slightly west of toward the north pole, and it is accelerating. The south magnetic pole has moved so far away from the south pole toward Australia that it is no longer within the Antarctic Circle.
Huh, what branch of science did you gather this gobbledygook from?
Don’t kill yourself. I’m sure I can find it.
But ... If you run across it ...
Still not going to panic over the pole reversal thing. The Earth has been through it before, it will go through it again.
Is interesting to note that Jupiter's poles are oppositely aligned to the Sun's and Earth's. Jupiter also has the strongest magnetic field in the solar system, even more than the Sun's and about 20,000 times the Earth's. Also, the Sun's magnetic field is a bit weak right now as witness by the low occurrence of sunspots for quite a while. See www.spaceweather.com
So feel free to panic if it suits you. LOL.
Point of order...toilet bowl spin is a result of Coriolis effect, not magnetics, so no worries there.
Too bad. It was such a cool explanation.
Wasn’t it? Probably why it stuck in my head. LOL.
And before Magnum gets on me: I meant to say that Jupiter’s magnetic field has about 20,000 times the energy of Earth’s, not that it is 20,000 times as strong. Ooops again...
Your numbers aside, the Earths mag field locally displaces both the suns and any other minor fields in our solar system. That’s why mag models like IGRF are good out to a few hundred miles off Earth surface, but beyond that more complex models are required to account for the magnetopause. Perhaps you should not trust Google for everything.
I am LOL at most of this thread, so no worries. I have my doubts about the premise right from the beginning, since i dont see a source, and I work in an area (satellite navigation) where something like this would probably have gotten my attention if it was a real concern.
Heck I just saw the pole over at Smitty’s bar
Trust Google? Now I’m really LOLing!
No way, my magnetism isn’t that strong. lol
Starting with Guam. . .
How is the magnetic field of Jupiter stronger than the sun’s?
Not exactly sure - but you may be confusing gravity with magnetism. (Sun has large mass and large gravity force). Magnetism is related to iron-rich materials in a planet’s core that are in motion.
“Question.... Will the alignment of the magnetic axis and the geographic axis reduce the dynamo output from decreased rotation field friction resulting in a diminishing of our dipolar field strength and also result in a reduction of our magnetosphere field strength that protects us from the CME’s?”
“There is the distinct likelihood of that slim possibility, but it all depends.”
Seriously, the earth’s dipolar magnetic field and the corresponding magnetic field that creates our magnetosphere is a function of the output created by the earth. The greater the non-alignment of the core and crust of the earth, the greater the friction as each part is spinning on its own axis. It’s a dynamo that produces the electromagnetic field.
If the axis of the core and crust have a planetary alignment thus creating rotation alignment, the friction and output from the dynamo would decrease. A movement of the poles apart from each other would cause an increase in friction and result in a stronger dynamo output and stronger magnetosphere. This dance pattern of the magnetic core axis around the geographic crust axis would account for the patterns of weather changes over hundreds or thousands of years.
The real problem is when the earth’s magnetosphere is weak due to the alignment, if we are at solar max and hit with a reverse polarity CME, the vulnerability of the earth to a polar shift would increase. WE are entering a perfect storm.
A further proof of what I am saying is that the magnetic pole traveling across Canada has a daily wobble of up to 85 kilometers that varies in relationship with solar activity. (According to the Canadian Geophysics website that monitors the pole activity.) If the earth’s core wobbles based upon the solar output, then a reverse polarity CME could cause a wobble great enough to create a polar shift. Currently the sun, which reverses polarity every eleven years is at opposition to the earths field.
What is created is a pattern whereby the earth has a potential shift only when the sun’s field is strong and the earth’s is weak.
While “there is the distinct likelihood of that slim possibility,” and it all depends upon many factors, it would appear that those factors are shifting in a pattern that would explain many of the climate changes blamed on mankind.
