It moves every year. It's been moving much faster over the past few years. The poles are indeed flipping. And I don't buy their assertion that it takes "thousands of years".

The only question I have is do they reach a certain latitude and slow down and begin to swing back - or do they continue accelerating until they "flip". Guess we're going to find out...

At the current trajectory they could converge near Indonesia. I don't think they will flip though. Earth's magnetic field is about 85% of what it was in the 70's. As it gets weaker, will be much more vulnerable to CMEs, similar to the Carrington event.

The weaker the field, the weaker the Earth's shield.

An event such as this is theorized to have ended the last ice age. Not in decades, or years. The ice age probably end within the span of a few days, or weeks.

I'm reposting the solar induced dark age podcast. Please up-vote, because people need to know what might be coming.

Happy cataclysmic podcast... ;-)
