[quote:Anonymous Coward 76271803:MV8zOTU1NjYzXzcxNTAzMDIyX0EyMjNBOTgx] [quote:2hot2handle:MV8zOTU1NjYzXzcxNTAxNTMxXzhFRjNDMzFB] [quote:Daggo:MV8zOTU1NjYzXzcxNTAxMzM3XzYzMUQxQTlE] They fucking know why, and they know the weakening is what's causing all the strange weather, they just don't want to admit it any of it because it will kill their carbon tax extortion. Simple answer, pole flip in coming. Bad part for us is we don't actually know how long these things take or how weak the magnetosphere will get during the flip, or how long it will take to get back to its normal strength. [/quote] [b]I heard pole flips can happen rather quickly such as in a few days. It doesn't necessarily take hundreds of years to happen. Think of it as snow ball going downhill and gathering speed as it goes. Scientists like to think everything is gradual and gentle as it is comforting thought but reality is nature can be brutal and quick sometimes.[/b] [/quote] :Katty9: [/quote]

On 15 January, they are set to update the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and underlies all modern navigation, from the systems that steer ships at sea to Google Maps on smartphones.
The most recent version of the model came out in 2015 and was supposed to last until 2020 — but the magnetic field is changing so rapidly that researchers have to fix the model now. “The error is increasing all the time,” says Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Centers for Environmental Information.
