Earth's Core, Magnetic Field Changing Fast, Study Says

“The decline in the magnetic field also is opening Earth’s upper atmosphere to intense charged particle radiation, scientists say.”

This ain’t good! Reminds me of this.

I'm pretty sure global warming has something to do with it, but the primary cause is probably more related to inequities in the system of social justice in the world.

As a disproportionate share of the world's wealth has accrued in the northern half of the Western Hemisphere, it has caused an imbalance along the Earth's rotational axis, disturbing the natural movement of the liquid core. Studies conducted by experts have concluded that capitalism and allowance of so-called "free enterprise" are the primary culprits creating this phenomena.

Fortunately, the very plans designed to combat global warming will also be effective in bringing about substantial readjustment of the current imbalance by transferring a goodly portion of the wealth from the developed western nations to the more needy states. However, the newly discovered Anthroprogenic Magnetic Field Disturbances (AMFD) adds a new urgency for these measures.

A scientific consensus is rapidly forming that only massive redistribution of resources imposed by an international tribunal with extensive enforcement authority can prevent the total dstruction of the planet within the next one or two generations.

INTREP - consider the source

Does that mean that our magnetic compasses won’t work right any more? What about GPS devices?

OMG, start a multi-billion project to prevent this. (Yo, algore, now project.)

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

So if you flush the quarterback in the Northern hemisphere, he'll go down clockwise, correct?

While refrigerator magnets were once suspected as a major factor in the current crisis, experts have now determined that it is the refrigerators themselves that cause the problems, especially when stocked with red meat. It has been postulated that an average family of four should not require a refrigerator larger than a microwave oven, as storing more than 6.4 pounds of food product can be wasteful of resources needed today by third world countries.

An speaking of microwave ovens.....

I like how you think. But I have one word for you. Just one word. Ready? Cell Phones. ‘Nuff said.

[Captain Rhino]

LOL! Your logic is inescapable.

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.

Considering the angular momentum generated by a spinning PLANET I think I'm going to have to call BS on that one.

Or is there any evidence that this has ever happened in history? I know that the earth precesses on it's rotation axis every 14,000 years which shoots the pole star from Polaris to Vega, but an actual turnover of the Earth??

12-21-12 ???

That Mayan Long Count is not that long. Something like 5125 years.

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

Daniel 7:25

The "he" is thought to be the Anti-Christ. Your post reminded me of this verse. The jihadists want to change the time!

[isrul]

Must be our “addiction” to oil that's causing it.

[RightWhale]

is there any evidence that this has ever happened in history?

Not in history. When this happens history ends. Maybe later history starts up again, but the old history would be wiped, as if a Great Flood had happened. Evidence abounds. The precession is more like 26,000 years, also known as the Great Year, which would not be affected.

So if you flush the quarterback in the Northern hemisphere, he'll go down clockwise, correct?

No, no, if you flush the quarterback in the Northern hemisphere he just goes down hard.

If you flush the quarterback in the Southern hemisphere he's just been running too much and has a pink glow on his cheekbones.

First the ice shelf is hanging by a thread...NOW THIS!!

Our magnets are acting funny.

[LiberConservative]

This could be chaos. Birds are going to start flying upside-down. Airplanes will fly to Mexico instead of Canada. Boy Scouts all over the world will get lost and die.

[P.O.E.]

Chinese mothers will soon be yelling at their kids in the yard “What are you, digging to America?”

[GSWarrior]

There must be something we can do to stop this. If not for us, then for our children.

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

Or, we could all face the same direction, take a deep breath, and blow as hard as we can on the count of three.

[refrigerator magnets were once suspected]

I know but ,in present day, I think it is that old ugly Arab woman with the Bomb Magnet.
