Why hasn't Condi Rice warned us about this?

Those poor birds. Now they'll be forced to migrate north for the winter.

The big switchover does not take place in one swoop, though. It happens faster at the Equator and takes longer at higher latitudes -- the closer one gets to the poles.

These Polish jokes are getting pretty old.

...and anyway...we never swoop....we Polka!!

This is such junk. The people who listen to this wacky ZETA...has been predicting this for years. It was suppose to happen last year. What a con.....I can't believe people actual believe this. But there are 1000's that do!

Other than adjusting my car compass and tv color settings, where's the problem? It's not like this hasn't happened before. The magnetic North Pole has moved about 800 miles since first being visited (some years ago.)

If the magnetic field collapses for a bit, the bad rays will indeed probably kill most of us in short order. So many systems need to be working on this planet to keep us alive, it is amazing. So says Bryson is his book about nearly everything.

By the way, killer asteroids hit the planet about every million years, that would kill a large percentage of us as well. And then there is Yellowstone. I want to move from Southern California before it blows. I live too close to the kill everything zone. Maybe to Australia.
