Magnetic Reversals and Glaciation

"Earth’s magnetic field fading. December 12, 2003. The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field has declined ten percent 10% during the past 150 years, says Jeremy Bloxham of Harvard University. This could be the prelude to a geomagnetic reversal."

One could speculate that a decrease in magnetic field strength could create a rise in naturally occuring cancers of the skin and possibly other types of carcinoma.
These have been on the rise and magnetic field strength has been fading.

Given today's thoughts about the impact of cosmic rays, (influenced strongly) by sunspot activity, on cloud cover and thus on climate/temperature changes, what would the impact be of losing the entire protection of the Magnetic poles for several years?

Is the pole reversal (continuing even more rapidly now!) as the north pole races across the Arctic towards Russia, linked to the sudden drops that characterize an incipient Ice Age?

After all, the very slow cycle times of the Mik. cycles can't really account for the sudden climate changes that are the Ice Ages. The periodicity of the curves seems too slow.
