Earth’s magnetic pole is on the move, fast. And we don’t know why

Earth’s magnetic field is what allows us to exist. It deflects harmful radiation. It keeps our water and atmosphere in place. But now it’s acting up — and nobody knows why. Planet Earth is alive. Deep beneath its skin, its life blood — rivers of molten iron — pulse around its core. And this mobile iron is what generates the magnetic field that causes auroras — and keeps us alive.

But, according to the science journal Nature, something strange is going on deep down below.

It’s causing the magnetic North Pole to ‘skitter’ away from Canada, towards Siberia.

“The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world’s geomagnetism experts into a rare move,” Nature reports...

Is it because Guam is capsizing again???

Obviously we drive too many cars around. All of that motion of metal is causing the magnetic core to shift. Sarcasm, just in case you didn’t know.

Is Stormy Daniels doing a dance on the magnetic pole?

No, Guam is okay for now. They shifted heavy things around.

Had a similar thought: Just pole dancing

Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.

I believe it’s those Honduras invasion convoys moving north that is cause it. Free stuff in the U.S. is like a bunch of giant magnets.

The Full Moon for January 2019 rises on the 21st. Traditionally, this Moon was called the Full Wolf Moon. This year, we’ll also be treated to a total lunar eclipse and a Supermoon! Read about how this Moon got its name—plus, see more Moon facts and folklore.
The Full Wolf Moon

The Full Wolf Moon reaches its peak on January 21, 2019, at 12:16 A.M. EST (January 20 at 9:16 P.M. for those in PST).

This year, thanks to the Moon being both a Supermoon and part of a total lunar eclipse (a “Blood Moon”), January’s full Moon is being called the “Super Blood Wolf Moon.” How’s that for a name?

Total Lunar Eclipse (“Blood Moon”)
Just a few hours before the peak of the full Moon, a total lunar eclipse will be visible from all of North, Central, and South America. The eclipse will begin at approximately 9:35 P.M. EST (6:35 P.M. PST) on January 20 and end at 2:50 A.M. EST (11:50 P.M. PST). A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the shadow of the Earth, which causes the usually bright Moon to turn a dark, ominous red (giving the eclipsed Moon the nickname ”Blood Moon”).

"Incidentally I can see nothing in the report which claims this acceleration has anything to do with climate change."

Sheesh, you have gone and read the article and have ruined a perfectly good opportunity for rantings and ravings! /s

Solar minimum right now. A coincidence?

From PAR35's link to the Nature article thread:

"Liquid churning in Earth’s core generates most of the magnetic field, which varies over time as the deep flows change." Most of the Earth's mass is our liquid iron core.

The article also points out the the model was last updated in 2015, and they expected they would have to do the next update in 2020.

But they have to do it a bit earlier than projected, because they have a standard for variance to prevent navigational errors (the difference between true North and magnetic North), whose effect is really magnified close to the magnetic poles.

On GPS units is the magnetic north periodically updated?

QUICK!! Someone tell Mueller and the Dems/Media! Towards Siberia! The Ruskies are even now interfering with God’s domain!! (Or as they would see it - Mother Gaia)

The pole is moving towards Siberia. The Russians are stealing it. Somebody tell Mueller quick.

It's not theft. Hillary Clinton sold it to them when she was Secretary of State. They wanted it to help shield the uranium she sold them too. Mueller can stand down.

Looks like it's heading to the Geographic North Pole

That would be good.

article from 2013. evidently in the year 2000, the pole moved much more than average. South pole is not moving as much.

And, without fail, my area will be under impenetrable cloud cover or pouring rain.

Always happens.
