"A new paper in PNAS, and a Commentary about it by John Tarduno in the same issue of PNAS, provide an up-to-date look at the problem from the secular long-ages viewpoint. Basically, in the first paper, Trindade et al studied stalactites in a South American cave looking for clues to variations in the geomagnetic field. Secular geophysicists have identified a “South Atlantic Anomaly” (SAA) in geomagnetic measurements, “the position of the weakest geomagnetic field on Earth.” They suspected that variations in the SAA might have been recorded in the speleothem data. Here’s what they say about their work. Notice that they acknowledge a “fast decay” the the magnetic field’s strength."

Vegas divides The Line:

Mag Field Decay exacerbates Climate Change
Climate Change causes Mag Field Decay

I’ll bet on: Industrialized Western Governments raise taxes to solve Mag Field Decay.

I just knew that global warming must have something to do with it.

Nothing to worry about. Global warming will cure it.

Geologic record shows numerous such changes over the very long term. Magnetic poles wander, weaken, strengthen, and flip. The current weakening does not bode well for us, but historically does point to a flip in the making.

As with “climate change”, beware those who decry global changes based on a few mere centuries of data.

Why would God create a magnetic field that would go away killing billions of people and animals?

Do “creation scientists” ever do any of their own original observations, measurements, or experiments?

What does this mean in practical terms? Like how could it affect common man? And iron filings?

Luckily for us it is at a solar activity minimum. Hence the blizzards in South Carolina.

But the ‘GoreBull worming’ crowd have blinders on.

We can raise taxes and save the earth... Hold it!

That’s the climate change global warming cult gig... We can’t do anything about this stuff.... Oh well, to hell in a hand-basket we go and the good news... I guess since the earth is going down the toilet regardless, we really have absolutely no reason to pay those carbon taxes...

Are you paying attention Mr. Marcon, Mr. Trudeau and the US Democratic party? We don’t need no stinking carbon taxes.
