Magnetic poles shifting do not have any effect on climate, the axis of the earth's rotation would have to change to angle the northern parts of the planet closer to the sun. Anyone who takes a glance at their clock at sunset would know that the earth's axis of rotation has not changed. Furthermore, pole shifts could not cause an ice age. This change is in response to global climate change, or global warming as some of you may call it. The rest of you can enjoy continuing to deny it is happening.

Early sunrise in Greenland is due to lower ice caps which caused the horizon to be lower. This can be verified by physical measurements of the ice caps. The only other serious explanation offered that would not conflict with the position of the sun at other points on the planet is that atmospheric CO2 levels or other phenomenon have caused the suns rays to bend at a greater degree near the ice cap causing the illusion of the sun appearing over the horizon.

For any of you interested in subduing your fears that our planet is rolling on its axis, go ahead and look in your local newspaper what time sunrise was for you today, then look in your newspaper archives for the time it was the year prior. If those two times are the same, then you are at the same angle to the sun as you were the year prior.
