The Fading of Earth's Magnetic Field is Accelerating

Presents evidence that the reversing of the Earth's poles is accelerating. Scientists do not know what to expect; but are certain that chaos will occur in and on the Earth from geophysical, meteorological and marine points of view. Includes messages from Jesus via John Leary, and startling excerpts and links to related news articles.

if the earth's magnetic field fades, does that mean no one breathes?

I don't think it will reverse. I think it's just getting weaker.

I don't think it will reverse. I think it's just getting weaker.

Could this be the reason, or at least a key physical reason, for all the crazy weather?

 

[JackRT]

Fading of the magnetic field and possible reversal will cause some major disruptions in communications and navigation but no major geophysical events. A reversal might actually take centuries to complete.

 

[The Barbarian]

The magnetic north pole is moving surprisingly quickly northward, so no sign of a reversal. But it's happened in the past, and the sky didn't fall.

Depends on how far it fades. We do know that the Earth's magnetic field does protect us from solar radiation. Hence, if it drops too low or fades completely, it will stop doing that, naturally. Being that we've never really seen it happen, especially since the onset of the electronic era, we don't really know what the most important effects will be, for certain.

I think it is a mistake to confuse a fading magnetism with an approaching reversal. The difference in terms of measured field strength may be similar, if reversal entails a temporary self-cancellation as it passes through zero from north to south, but the strength of the causative process (still not really known, if we're honest with ourselves) does not necessarily change in the process. A wave in the ocean has troughs and peaks, but the trough does not indicate the same loss of energy as having no wave at all. If we look at the geological data of past reversals, the curve does not match the curve indicated by the present fading of the magnetic field. That's why I think ours looks like the magnetic field is dying, rather than approaching reversal.

But it's happened in the past, and the sky didn't fall.

It hasn't happened under the current set of circumstances.

That's why I think ours looks like the magnetic field is dying, rather than approaching reversal.

At present, the overall geomagnetic field is becoming weaker; the present strong deterioration corresponds to a 10–15% decline over the last 150 years and has accelerated in the past several years; geomagnetic intensity has declined almost continuously from a maximum 35% above the modern value achieved approximately 2,000 years ago. The rate of decrease and the current strength are within the normal range of variation, as shown by the record of past magnetic fields recorded in rocks.

The nature of Earth's magnetic field is one of heteroscedastic fluctuation. An instantaneous measurement of it, or several measurements of it across the span of decades or centuries, are not sufficient to extrapolate an overall trend in the field strength. It has gone up and down in the past for unknown reasons. Also, noting the local intensity of the dipole field (or its fluctuation) is insufficient to characterize Earth's magnetic field as a whole, as it is not strictly a dipole field. The dipole component of Earth's field can diminish even while the total magnetic field remains the same or increases.

The Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting from northern Canada towards Siberia with a presently accelerating rate—10 kilometres (6.2 mi) per year at the beginning of the 20th century, up to 40 kilometres (25 mi) per year in 2003,[23] and since then has only accelerated.[45]

That seems to be an inconvenient question the climate change fanatics don't want to acknowledge/address, it's too plausible an explanation of the current changes in the climate. It also eliminates the need for man to give up every single cent of money in the world to combat something that man can't change because he isn't responsible for the changes to begin with. This annoys the elites, monarchists and dictatorial leaders to no end, that can't get extremely wealthy at our expense.

I suspect that you are the climate change fanatic.

You forgot to insinuate that I'm stupid too.

I didn't insinuate that because most fanatics are not stupid, just ill informed.

They have access to the same information that everybody else does it's readily available on the Internet, ill informed is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[The Barbarian]

Except there's no evidence whatever that it affects climate, and carbon dioxide is known to affect climate. This was already known in the 19th century, and a scientist at that time predicted that the rising level would cause warming.

It also eliminates the need for man to give up every single cent of money in the world to combat something that man can't change because he isn't responsible for the changes to begin with.

Actually, it won't call for that. Far from it; many such changes, such as wind power, will cut costs. So will solar, in many parts of the country. If what you imagine will be the consequences of warming, determines your understanding of climate, you will be continuously deluding yourself. What might be the consequences of warming has nothing to do with the fact of warming itself.

It is true, that some of the elite might have to take responsibility for the emissions they are producing. The wealthy might not continue to have us pay for their behavior.

This annoys the elites, monarchists and dictatorial leaders to no end, that can't get extremely wealthy at our expense.

They are getting extremely wealthy at our expense.

Yes, the information is available. May I suggest:

Yes and?

Like I said before everybody has access to all the information published about the subject. BTA if you only use one search engine in particular you'll only see the side of the story the politicians want you to see, using all the search engines will broaden your horizons/knowledge.

BTW, not believing the "popular rhetoric" does not make one stupid just wiser. I can also remember my first government mandated briefing on manmade global cooling about 40+ years ago, that term didn't last long. The funny thing is the things that they mandated we do for MGC was also mandated for MGW, go figure.

Except that is was much higher in the past and the climate was milder, try again.

And it was much lower in the past and the climate was milder. And it was much lower in the past, and the climate was colder. And it was about the same is it is now, in the past, and the climate was colder.
For example, it was much stronger during the Maunder Minimum and it was cold. And it was much stronger in the early middle ages, and things were warmer.

You can cherry-pick the way things go up and down, but it doesn't mean anything.

Try again.
