Now the magnetic pole is shifting East at a rate of 40 miles annually, an increase of 800 percent.

Okay, I see a math lesson is needed here.
A change from 5 mph to 10 mph is an increase of 100%.
A change from 5 mph to 15 mph is an increase of 200%.
A change from 5 mph to 20 mph is an increase of 300%.
A change from 5 mph to 25 mph is an increase of 400%.
A change from 5 mph to 30 mph is an increase of 500%.
A change from 5 mph to 35 mph is an increase of 600%.
A change from 5 mph to 40 mph is an increase of 700%.

Just because it is 8 times as much doesn't make it 800% greater.

An 800% increase would be some 32,000 miles. LOL
