Rove must’ve installed a new button on his control panel.

Bush’s fault.

[Don Corleone]

Is it too soon to say,”Bush’s fault”?

[MrB]

Obviously not...

Global warming must be worse than we thought. /sarc

You just know this is related to our passing through the galactic plane in the year 2012, don't you?

Think about it, you go across the equator and water swirls down the drain the other way.

Think crossing the galactic equator is any different?

We might be in for some kind of “super ride”. This Top we’re riding might get out of kilter.

I'm surprised National Geographic didn't blame it on global warming.

They do it with everything else.

[CaptainK]

Everything will go back to normal once Obama is President.

[usmcobra]

It’s All Al Gore’s fault.

[TheWasteLand]

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

[RightWhale]

It is unfortunate that this still passes for science.

-——suggest similarly quick changes are simultaneously occurring in the liquid metal,-——

It is not surprising that on the C/E threads statements of this mode are so prevalent.

[unkus]

Doesn’t matter-he’ll have to ride ‘er down, too.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Women and minorities hardest hit.

[Oatka]

Interesting stuff. I wonder if past pole shifts/reversals came about this way?

[DBrow]

This is caused by refrigerator magnets in the developed world. The changing magnetic field will impact poor people in third-world countries first, and hardest.

The solution is to stop the developed nations from being able to produce. In addition they must pay a Magnetic Field Penalty to the UN for dispersal to needy countries.

The problem was not so bad in the 40's when really the only excess unshielded magnets were glued to little plastic dogs. The rapid proliferation of refrigerator magnets (in developed countries, who have refrigerators) is a relatively new phenomenon, and since it coincides with radical, dangerous shifts in Earth's magnetic field, must be the cause.

There’s evidence this has happened a dozen times in the past...

[mnehring]

Let’s wait and see how they link this to global warming..

everyone on the planet needs to jump in the air at the same time
