Everybody Panic!

Title: “Earth’s Inner Core May Have Started Rotating in the Opposite Direction”
First sentence: “The rotation of the Earth’s inner core may be reversing...”
There’s a big difference between just rotating in the opposite direction, and slowing down.
In fact, I would posit that slowing down of the relative rotation of the core is to be predicted, over a great lengths of geologic time, due to friction of fluids.
Suggesting that it’s just going to spontaneously reverse itself, while obviously meant to be a gripping headline, is sensationalism.
If I am not mistaken, it is the iron composition of the earths core and it’s relative rotation that causes our magnetic field. It would actually be doing us a favor if it just “reversed” rather than gradually slowed down.
Inertia continues
Maybe that’s why my turlet is flushing weird…
1 - No mass changes direction without influence of an outside force.
2 - Iron loses its magnetism when melted.
3 - There is friction between the movement of the core and the solid outside shell.
One feels compelled to ask:
1 - What caused the mass to change direction; and, why didn't anyone notice that force applied?
2 - How was that force applied to the inner mass?
3 - Why didn't that change have any noticeable affect on the surface?
I feel inclined to call this "misreporting" or even "bs".
Anybody else have a take on this?
Oh, wow! I wonder if we said that at the same time?
More ‘experts’ with a new claim to 15 more minutes of fame??
21twelve : "Wasn’t that about the time of the Global Cooling fears? "
Exactly true ! During the 70's, the porn panic was all about global cooling
We are still in an inter-glacial period of the earth's history
If the earths core is reversing, shouldn't there be a 'slack time' as the core rotation reverses ?
I wonder what the effect there might be on the tectonic plates on the earth's surface crust ?
@%%$! - Still can’t figure out how to resize pics ...
We are in the minority ;-)
My own theory goes a bit farther:
The government knows something for which the results are catastrophic and has been spending trillion$ since 2001 to the end of preserving ‘qualified’ survivors deep underground.
The question as to the source of this knowledge is ripe for debate.
Or, if the extreme suits those reading this, the trillion$ are funding a mass migration to another planet facilitated by another race, thereby explaining both UFO sightings and the trend to mainstream public knowledge.
Either way, my own rough math can’t account for a couple trillion$$ and it explains somewhat decades of irrational government projection and spending. Again, just a theory corresponding to a long cycle you mentioned (whether it’s 12-14k or 26-28k is debatable, but a long cycle in which I believe and cite obscure evidence of lost advanced human civilizations in support).
Personally, I strongly believe in the comet hypothesis, which puts the Earth passing through the tail of an as-yet undiscovered (??) comet which rains upon the surface of the Earth a disastrous meteorite storm - the last event having ended the most recent Ice Age - but pole-shift/core/crust effects might explain some other geographical records on a different timeline.
Give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this rig around.
I think scientists are covering for their earlier direction error, or they really don’t know.
Let’s vote the data like climate change does!!!
Changing the direction of rotation of the earth’s core is RAY-CISS!!!
Time to part the combover on the other side? I hate when that happens.
Did you feel that jolt too?
Why? How? What possible mechanism could produce that much force?
The 70s was not 70 years ago. What dolt wrote that it was?
I don’t remember anything erf-wise happening back then either.
Somebody is just looking for a headline.
Plus, the rotation speed and direction of the surface of the earth would be massively altered.
So I cry bullshit on this whole concept.
