This is an incorrect observation. The water swirls the same way, you are just looking at it from the other side.
Time to come up with a new one...
The Core of the Earth is Going to Destroy Life as We Know It.
There are two kinds of pole shift. One kind is the magnetic field, and that seems to have happened many times and is happening now. The other is more or less catastrophic and involves either earth’s crust or the whole planet tipping over. That might have happened as recently as 12,000 years ago and be a regular event.
I wonder, if this is an accurate assessment, could it also have a potential impact to increase seismic activity as well?
I used to have a ‘Monster Magnet’ toy when I was a kid. I accidentally dropped it down the sewer and wondered what ever happened to it. I hope I didn’t cause this! :(
You now owe me for a monitor, keyboard, AND mouse.
I had a BIG ole mouthful of soda pop when I read your reply.

That sounds a wee bit more serious than global warming. First cow tipping. Now planet tipping.
Ping!
This is fairly interesting.
Hey, the muzzies have been all over this. Check out this interview.
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: When British colonialism or the British kingdom were in control, and it was “an empire on which the sun never sets,” it imposed Greenwich Mean Time. This creates two problems for the world. The first problem is that in Greenwich, the magnetic field of Earth is 8.5 degrees, whereas in Mecca the magnetic field is zero.
[...]
Interviewer: Before the break, we talked to Dr. Abd Al-Baset about the centrality of Mecca, and about the importance of measuring time according to the latitude of Mecca, and not according to the latitude of Greenwich... Why is it?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: It has been proven that there is a certain discrepancy if we calculate it according to Greenwich. This discrepancy has been estimated as 8.5 minutes between the northern and southern hemispheres.
Interviewer: How much?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: 8.5 minutes. Air traffice cannot be organized this way. They are aware of this, and so they try to change it.
Interviewer: Really?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes. If they calculated time according to Mecca, it would be the same in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Interviewer: Surely they know this...
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes, but we have to work on these things. We must declare this, and we must convene a large conference with them, and tell them that time must be calculated according to Mecca.
Interviewer: What other benefits are there to calculating time according to Mecca?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: If you calculate time according to Mecca, those 8.5 minutes... The magnetic field of Earth, for example... What I say is that there are people at the North Pole and the South Pole who cannot come here in multitudes.
Interviewer: Really?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: This is because the magnetic force is concentrated there, which affects people’s blood and the biological movement of life. It has been proven that if magnetism, anywhere, exceeds 1,000 gauss, which equals one tenth of a tesla, it affects the ability of the hemoglobin in the blood to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues, the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues.
Interviewer: In other words, the ability to live...
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes, to live... This means is that when you are in Mecca, the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissues is greater than anywhere else in the world.
Interviewer: That’s why, when people travel to Mecca, they return full of energy.
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: In Mecca, you don’t exert any effort. That’s why you may see an old man, who cannot walk, or who walks with crutches, and even though it gets very crowded around the Ka’ba, he is filled with great strength, and he circles the Ka’ba. You do not exert any effort, and you are filled with energy, because you are in a place in which there is no magnetic force.

Anybody who studies human chemistry knows that all circulation in the human body is to the right. All the components are called “dextro-rotatary,” which means circulating to the right. They call it dextro-rotatory, which means circulating to the right. When I’m circulating [the Ka’ba] from right to left, anti-clockwise, I increase my body’s circulation, and consequently I am filled with energy.
Interviewer: I get filled with energy too?
Abd Al-Baset Al-Sayyid: Yes, because the right-to-left circulation in my body increases.
You are incorrect. The magnetic poles flip, but the crust doesn’t. The continents move around on it, but that takes 100s of millions of years. I think the Atlantic started forming during the Jurrasic.
Plate tectonics have made that old Wegener idea obsolete.
That won't work unless it simultaneously becomes the excuse for mass socialization / communist expropriation, and the destruction of Western Civilization.
Let's try again:
"The Reversal of Magnetic Poles is being caused by Big Mining Companies extracting too much iron. The only way to stop the Total Destruction of the Earth is by collecting all the iron ever mined by rich countries and injecting it back into the core of the Earth. The U.N. must act now and confiscate every major household appliance to avoid catastrophe."
Another crisis for Algore: Man-made Magnetic Shifts
Then comes Man-made Galatic Collisions.
Yes, but if we can warm the planet we might avert the next pole shift.
Art Bell at it again.
No, the National Geographic Society.
