	<title>North Magnetic Pole Moving East Due To Core Flux</title>
	<author>ScuttleMonkey</author>
	<datestamp>1262004120000</datestamp>
	<htmltext>National Geographic is reporting that the <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/12/091224-north-pole-magnetic-russia-earth-core.html">migration of Earth's magnetic pole has accelerated again</a> and is now racing in Russia's direction at a blazing 40 miles per year.  This movement began in earnest around 1904 at about 9 miles per year and has been accelerating since.  <i>"Geologists think Earth has a magnetic field because the core is made up of a solid iron center surrounded by rapidly spinning liquid rock. This creates a 'dynamo' that drives our magnetic field.  Scientists had long suspected that, since the molten core is constantly moving, changes in its magnetism might be affecting the surface location of magnetic north.  Although the new research seems to back up this idea, Chulliat is not ready to say whether magnetic north will eventually cross into Russia.  'It's too difficult to forecast,' Chulliat said.  Also, nobody knows when another change in the core might pop up elsewhere, sending magnetic north wandering in a new direction."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>Its only happened once so far - a large storm killed one of two satellites used for pagers in 1994.  Since then ground-based cellphones have pretty much replaced pagers.
<br> <br>
In 1989 a large solar storm shut down the east Canadian power grid.
<br> <br>
In 1859 a monster solar storm knocked out the telegraph system.  You could see the aurora all the way to the equator.  This storm would probably frymost current satellites and the world's power lines.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>China independently discovered the compass over a millennia ago.
It is literally called the "south pointing device".
There was a 50-50 chance of wither direction.
Europeans proabbly wanted someting to supplement the North Star when you couldnt see it.
In China compasses were used for landscaping, i.e. geomancy. South-facing orientations are more important than north in that craft.  Thats probably why the traditional compass points south.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Hooray, what I must assume is deliberate ignorance.<br>
<br>
Look, educate yourself on the difference between the MAGNETIC north pole (the one defined by the magnetic field, probably caused by movement in the molten core of the earth, who's only serious influence on the earth is the direction compasses (including the ones inside a bird's head) point) and the GEOGRAPHIC north pole (the one defined by the rotation of the earth as a whole, which defines the coldest parts of the world).<br>
<br>
The MAGNETIC north pole drifts constantly and flips occasionally (though not what one might call "regularly"). This is not accompanied by any cataclysmic extinction event, and takes place over dozens or even hundreds of years. It did not happen during the Mayan or Egyptian cultures, and unless you think they were sending probes to the mid-Atlantic ridge they were unlikely to even be aware of it much what able to predict it better then modern science (which says the field will probably begin flipping sometime in the next 10 to 200,000 years). The magnetic north pole has no influence over how cold it is in any given place on earth.<br>
<br>
The GEOGRAPHIC north pole doesn't drift appreciably, or flip - ever. If it did flip, the most obvious sign would be that the sun would rise in what we currently think of as the west, and set in what is now the east. Also, all the stuff that got flung into space as the earth stopped spinning suddenly and then started up again in the opposite direction. Or if it happened more gradually, summers and winters would gradually get more extreme until the entire world spent half of every year (as opposed to half of every day) in the sun, and the other half in the shade, at which time the trend would reverse until it came to a rest exactly as it is now but with the sun rising in what was the west and setting in what was the east. Both methods would take similarly ludicrous amounts of energy, and probably kill most large animals and plants.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>Hooray, what I must assume is deliberate ignorance.
Look, educate yourself on the difference between the MAGNETIC north pole (the one defined by the magnetic field, probably caused by movement in the molten core of the earth, who's only serious influence on the earth is the direction compasses (including the ones inside a bird's head) point) and the GEOGRAPHIC north pole (the one defined by the rotation of the earth as a whole, which defines the coldest parts of the world).
The MAGNETIC north pole drifts constantly and flips occasionally (though not what one might call "regularly").
This is not accompanied by any cataclysmic extinction event, and takes place over dozens or even hundreds of years.
It did not happen during the Mayan or Egyptian cultures, and unless you think they were sending probes to the mid-Atlantic ridge they were unlikely to even be aware of it much what able to predict it better then modern science (which says the field will probably begin flipping sometime in the next 10 to 200,000 years).
The magnetic north pole has no influence over how cold it is in any given place on earth.
The GEOGRAPHIC north pole doesn't drift appreciably, or flip - ever.
If it did flip, the most obvious sign would be that the sun would rise in what we currently think of as the west, and set in what is now the east.
Also, all the stuff that got flung into space as the earth stopped spinning suddenly and then started up again in the opposite direction.

	<htmltext>Yeah, been saying this for a year + now.  There is an intruder in the Solar system that NASA is not talking about (and why would they?) causing this magnetic influence.  This, and many more global dots need to be connected to understand the very broad implications this has on Earth.  The intruder happens to be a highly magnetic planetary SYSTEM that has been causing the accelerated global changes to the weather and sea level that will lead to a massive global catastrophe.

So where is it heading ? And , importantly to me and mine , where will that put the north pole in 40 , 50 years at the current rate of acceleration ?

If there is a MAGNETIC FIELD produced by the core there MUST BE an ELECTRIC CURRENT ALSO.

Could this solve our power needs FOREVER ?</htmltext>
