BUSH'S FAULT! Impeach Bush to stop the polar relaignment! Aaaaaa!

The poles reverse every 250,000 years or so, just to make the young earth creationists really mad.

Looks like the north and south poles are getting ready to switch places

Geological Survey of Canada Earth Sciences Sector > Geological Survey of Canada > Geomagnetism Geomagnetism Daily Movement of the North Magnetic Pole It is important to realize that the position of the North Magnetic Pole given for a particular year is an average position. The Magnetic Pole wanders daily around this average position and, on days when the magnetic field is disturbed, may be displaced by 80 km or more. Although the North Magnetic Pole's motion on any given day is irregular, the average path forms a well-defined oval. stolen from here

That's pretty funny. With that name, I guess his career choice was predestined.

Expect the DemocRATS to blame this on too many Americans having those "Support The Troops" ribbon magnets on their cars. The problem is, after a few months of brainwashing by the MSM, "most" Americans will tell the pollsters that they believe the magnets ARE what is causing it.

Some one on these threads once mentioned that the only tools
needed to fix something was super glue and duct tape.

Let's get up early Saturday morning, have some egg McMuffins at McDonalds, then go fix this thing.

So would Santa have to relocate operations on the opposite side of the equator? Would he have to relocate elves or would penguins be able to fill the gap?

Imagine the invaders from our southern border! Canadians! At least they would speak English. Except for Quebec.

"...the shift could mean Alaska may no longer see the sky lights known as auroras, which might then be more visible in more southerly areas of Siberia and Europe."

Also more frequently in Canada and the northern U.S.?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Is the sky falling yet?

[yarddog]

I was doing some rough surveying recently and looked up the declination from true North for my location. I was surprised to see it was zero.

Looks like that may no longer be true. I also noticed some areas are way off from true North, especially in the Western States.

Due to GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's BUSH's fault!!!!!!!!

Article is frustrating -- lacks information.

Is South Magnetic Pole drifting too?
Explanation: Magnetic field likely to be produced by iron core surrounded by molten liquid. There's nothing to keep the core fixed dead center inside the Earth. It probably wobbles.

Are Geomagnetic Poles migrating too?
Magnetic poles are not the same as the geomagnetic poles. I would have to look up the precise definition.

Are Magnetic Poles aligning to, diverging from, or revolving around the Geomagnetic Poles?
Explanation: need to know this stuff

Can all these Poles Polka?
That's what counts.

[Solamente]

Well, I'd better find some pidgeon on EBay to purchase my soon to be obsolete toy!

[Past Your Eyes]

Okay, so if I'm in central NH, what declination should I put on my compass? I've had about 16^o west for some time but maybe I need to change that.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Pole shift Alert.

Earth's north magnetic pole is drifting away from North America and toward Siberia at such a clip that Alaska might lose its spectacular Northern Lights in the next 50 years

Maybe there will be an earmark in the next highway bill to study this.
