My personal thoughts... and only thoughts (not based upon evidence based research) are that the alignment of the earth’s magnetic north pole (representing the axis of the earth’s core) and the geographic north pole (representing the axis of the earth’s crust) are decreasing the dynamo output created by the friction of the two earth layers. The decreased dynamo output decreases our magnetosphere which protects us from the CME’s blasting at us from the sun.
The perfect storm is a weak magnetosphere at a time when the sun is at peak activity of a solar reversal when the shift is in opposition to the earth’s current polarity. I spoke with an astrophysicist who specializes in planetary field reversals and he told me that the mass of the earth is too great and thus stabilizes us from frequent shifts. I still have several research papers on this subject in my to be read stack.
If you track pole movement, the greatest opposition of the axis of the earth would create the strongest dipolar field and magnetosphere and cool the earth. Polar alignment then should cause global warming. Not sure what man is doing to cause polar alignment within the earth’s axis.
Thank you. You are very knowledgeable. Retired scientist?
I like your final sentence: “Not sure what man is doing to cause polar alignment within the earth’s axis”.
I am sure you were being facetious.
Earth’s magnetic field seems to be weakening and potentially migrating
Earth’s magnetic field is weakening, and may be getting set to flip—in just a few thousand years north will become south and south will become north, LiveScience reports. But before it can do that, the magnetic field may wander around a bit. Right now, say scientists with the European Space Agency, the Earth’s magnetic north pole seems to be wandering over to Siberia.
The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field is always changing, with patches of stronger or weaker shielding found across the planet. Right now, the weakest spots hover above the Western Hemisphere, whereas places around the Indian Ocean have been growing stronger. The wobbles in magnetic field strength, says LiveScience, could mean that the planet’s magnetic field is entering a period of flux that will last up to a few thousand years and may ultimately end in a flipping of Earth’s magnetic poles.
Researchers with the European Space Agency noticed the abnormalities in the Earth’s magnetic field strength while analyzing data collected by magnetometers attached to a new three-satellite system called Swarm. Here’s LiveScience:
Previously, researchers estimated the field was weakening about 5 percent per century, but the new data revealed the field is actually weakening at 5 percent per decade, or 10 times faster than thought. As such, rather than the full flip occurring in about 2,000 years, as was predicted, the new data suggest it could happen sooner.
