"A magnetic shift proably has more of an effect on the planet's climate than man made carbon waste."

That's what I was thinking. But, a pole shift doesn't mean a change in axis, does it? Longitude, latitude, GPS devices, geosyncronous satellites... it can't be the case, we'd have a major mess on our hands. I guess I'm commenting on something that I don't have a strong understanding of, because I can't wrap my mind around magnetic north being greatly at odds with true north.

Hey, I thought the North Pole was where the plastic washer goes to make my globe spin smoothly.

For something really confusing try this, Is the North Pole actually the South Pole or are Millions and Millions of Magnets and Compasses wrong? (In Magnetism opposites attract, therefore when the North end of a Magnet points North is the Magnet mislabled or is the North Pole actually the South Pole?)

Try that on restless kids it will keep them busy for awhile.
