Thank you. Yours were the posts I’d been waiting for thinking I should post them myself. I believe you both may be right.

Psst. I've also never seen "Caddyshack", plus, I don't even drink.

I laughed my fat little butt off when I first saw it, so I stole it. :^)

While transiting from Alaska Southbound we crossed over the Explorer Seamount on my watch. I noticed the magnetic compass take a pretty strong swing when we were right over it, then swing back shortly after.

Probably can’t talk jive either? Reading about your issues makes me want a 32 oz big gulp full of rum and a splash of coke. Then maybe some Spaceballs. 🤔

Massive shift to the left is like everyone running to the same side of a boat. It’s the idiot democRats. The only fix is a new Magnetic Pole Bureaucracy and massive tax increases.

SAGA Magazine back in 1968-69 predicted the magnetic poles would shift and the crust of the earth would float around and no one knew where the USA might then land up when the poles reestablished themselves!

The illustrations showed NYC buildings collapsing!

Wiki: Magnetic Declination. This was an issue in an old court case of mine, related to old (Centuries) surveying work. This isn’t a new thing.

#2. Well, the Left will charge it to Trump’s “Magnetic Personality” which they hate but want to use to blame everything on.

Secondly, the Earth is suffering from “Heart Burn”, aka “magmatic gas”. That leads to a big BM deep within the bowels of the Earth which moves the magnetic poles outward and upward.

Lastly, maybe Gaia or God is just playing with us. Might as well sit back and enjoy the ride. This could play havoc with planned “magnetism” railways. You’d get on a train in California and end up going across the Bering Straits over the water to Inner Siberia. Be sure to pack and extra pair of socks.

I’ve never seen “Airplane”. And I’ve never eaten a Twinkie.

Why, that's downright un-American!

Clearly the Earth being flat to many Chinese and Indians being born have caused the world to tilt causing the molten layer to all run to one side.

Both of you imho are correct. (In a layman’s way of speaking). The actual source of the magnetic field isn’t a mystery - just why their model is so far off.

The problem isn’t with the earth - it is with their model. Obviously many things on earth are cyclical. Some can me “modeled” very precisely - like the sunrise, beginning of spring, and when Haley’s comet will appear.

Other cyclical things aren’t so easy to predict - such as climate change and the magnetic pole wandering.
