NASA has been warning about it… scientific papers have
been written about it… geologists have seen its traces in rock strata
and ice core samples…
Now "it" is here:
an unstoppable magnetic pole shift that has sped
up and is causing life-threatening havoc with the world's weather.
Forget about global warming - man-made or natural
- what drives
planetary weather patterns is the climate and what drives the
climate is the sun's magnetosphere and its electromagnetic
interaction with a planet's own magnetic field.
When the field shifts, when it fluctuates, when it goes into flux
and begins to become unstable anything can happen. And what normally
happens is that all hell breaks loose.

Magnetic polar shifts have occurred many times in Earth's history.
It's happening again now to every planet in the solar system
including Earth.
The magnetic field drives weather to a significant degree and when
that field starts migrating superstorms start erupting.
The superstorms have arrived
The first evidence we have that the dangerous superstorm cycle has
started is the devastating series of storms that pounded the UK
during late 2010.
On the heels of the lashing the British Isles sustained, monster
storms began to lash North America. The latest superstorm - as of this
writing - is a monster over the U.S. that stretched across 2,000 miles
affecting more than 150 million people.
Yet even as that storm wreaked havoc across the Western, Southern,
Midwestern and Northeastern states, another superstorm broke out in
the Pacific and closed in on Australia.
The southern continent had already dealt with the disaster of
historic superstorm flooding from rains that dropped as much as
several feet in a matter of hours. Tens of thousands of homes were
damaged or destroyed. After the deluge tiger sharks were spotted
swimming between houses in what was once a quiet suburban
neighborhood.
Shocked authorities now numbly concede that much of the water may
never dissipate and have wearily resigned themselves to the
possibility that region will now contain a new inland sea.
But then only a handful of weeks later another superstorm - the
megamonster
cyclone Yasi - struck northeastern Australia. The damage
it left in its wake is being called by rescue workers a war zone.
The incredible superstorm packed winds near 190mph. Although labeled
as a category-5 cyclone, it was theoretically a category-6.
The
reason for that is storms with winds of 155mph are considered
category-5, yet Yasi was almost 22 percent stronger than that.
A cat's cradle
Yet Yasi may only be a foretaste of future superstorms. Some climate
researchers, monitoring the rapidly shifting magnetic field, are
predicting superstorms in the future with winds as high as 300 to
400mph.
Such storms would totally destroy anything they came into contact
with on land.
The possibility more storms like Yasi or worse will wreak havoc on
our civilization and resources is found in the complicated
electromagnetic relationship between the sun and Earth. The
synergistic tug-of-war has been compared by some to an intricately
constructed cat's cradle. And it's in a constant state of flux.
The sun's dynamic, ever-changing electric magnetosphere interfaces
with the Earth's own magnetic field affecting, to a degree, the
Earth's rotation, precessional wobble, dynamics of the planet's
core, its ocean currents and - above all else - the weather.
Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield
The Earth's northern magnetic pole was moving towards Russia at a
rate of about five miles annually. That progression to the East had
been happening for decades.
Suddenly, in the past decade the rate sped up. Now the magnetic pole
is shifting East at a rate of 40 miles annually, an increase of 800
percent. And it continues to accelerate.
Recently, as the magnetic field fluctuates, NASA has discovered
"cracks" in it. This is worrisome as it significantly affects the
ionosphere, troposphere wind patterns, and atmospheric moisture. All
three things have an effect on the weather.
Worse, what shields the planet from cancer-causing radiation is the
magnetic field. It acts as a shield deflecting harmful ultra-violet,
X-rays and other life-threatening radiation from bathing the surface
of the Earth. With the field weakening and cracks emerging, the
death rate from cancer could skyrocket and mutations of DNA can
become rampant.
Another federal agency, NOAA, issued a report caused a flurry of
panic when they predicted that mammoth superstorms in the future
could wipe out most of California.
The NOAA scientists said it's a
plausible scenario and would be driven by an "atmospheric river"
moving water at the same rate as 50 Mississippi rivers flowing into
the Gulf of Mexico.
Magnetic field may dip, flip and disappear
The Economist wrote a detailed article about the magnetic field and
what's happening to it. In the article they noted:
"There is, however, a growing body of evidence that the Earth's
magnetic field is about to disappear, at least for a while. The
geological record shows that it flips from time to time, with the
south pole becoming the north, and vice versa.
On average, such
reversals take place every 500,000 years, but there is no
discernible pattern. Flips have happened as close together as 50,000
years, though the last one was 780,000 years ago.
But, as discussed
at the Greenland Space Science Symposium, held in Kangerlussuaq this
week, the signs are that another flip is coming soon."
Discussing the magnetic polar shift and the impact on weather, the
scholarly paper "Weather and the Earth's magnetic field" was
published in the journal Nature. Scientists too are very concerned
about the increasing danger of superstorms and the impact on
humanity.
Superstorms will not only damage agriculture across the planet
leading to famines and mass starvation, they will also change
coastlines, destroy cities and create tens of millions of homeless.
Superstorms can also cause certain societies, cultures or whole
countries to collapse. Others may go to war with each other.
A Danish study published in the scientific journal Geology, found
strong correlation between climate change, weather patterns and the
magnetic field.
"The earth's climate has been significantly affected by the planet's
magnetic field, according to a Danish study published Monday that
could challenge the notion that human emissions are responsible for
global warming.
"'Our results show a strong correlation between the strength of the
earth's magnetic field and the amount of precipitation in the
tropics,' one of the two Danish geophysicists behind the study, Mads
Faurschou Knudsen of the geology department at Aarhus University in
western Denmark, told the Videnskab journal.
"He and his colleague Peter Riisager, of the
Geological Survey of
Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), compared a reconstruction of the
prehistoric magnetic field 5,000 years ago based on data drawn from
stalagmites and stalactites found in China and Oman."
In the scientific paper "Midday magnetopause shifts earthward of
geosynchronous orbit during geomagnetic superstorms with Dst = -300
nT" the magnetic intensity of solar storms impacting Earth can
intensify the effects of the polar shift and also speed up the
frequency of the emerging superstorms.
Pole reversal may also be initiating new Ice Age
According to some geologists and scientists, we have left the last
interglacial period behind us. Those periods are lengths of
time - about 11,500 years - between major Ice Ages.
One of the most stunning signs of the approaching Ice Age is what's
happened to the world's precessional wobble.
The Earth's wobble has stopped
As explained in a geology and space science
website,
10 February 2006
The Chandler wobble was
first discovered back in 1891 by Seth Carlo Chandler an
American astronomer.
The effect causes the Earth's poles
to move in an irregular circle of 3 to 15 meters in diameter in
an oscillation. The Earth's Wobble has a 7 year cycle which
produces two extremes, a small spiraling wobble circle and a
large spiraling wobble circle, about 3.5 years apart.
The Earth was in October 2005 moving
into the small spiraling circle (the MIN phase of the wobble),
which should have slowly unfolded during 2006 and the first few
months of 2007. (Each spiraling circle takes about 14 months).
But suddenly at the beginning of
November 2005, the track of the location of the spin axis veered
at a very sharp right angle to its circling motion.
The track of the spin axis began to slow down and by about
January 8, 2006, it ceased nearly all relative motion on the
'x' and 'y' coordinates which are used to define the daily
changing location of the spin axis.
One interesting implication is the likely increase in tectonic
activity which may follow during the next 20 years or so. The
last major anomaly in the MIN phase of the X WAVE was during
1936, which induced a major phase shift and sharp change in
direction of the drift of the pole.
Following that anomaly, the
frequency of 7.0 plus quakes nearly doubled from some 18 per
year to over 30 per year.
The year following the anomaly saw
many major increases in volcanism. We are likely headed towards
a similar 20 year season of increase in tectonic activity,
beginning with a major increase in volcanism during 2006-08 and
the occurrence of more 7.0 plus quakes, even as many three per
month for many years afterwards.
This activity, combined with the
effects of
Global Warming on the creation
of Super Storms, are likely to keep the news channels quite
busy.
This anomaly will be of significant interest to fans of
Edgar Cayce, the famed
sleeping prophet. He predicted during the mid 1930's that a new
cycle of the shifting of the poles would begin in 2000/2001 and
thereafter an increase in the "upheavals" in the Earth.
Since this anomaly has appeared in a
"cycle" of Chandler's Wobble which began in 2000, just after the
completion of the MIN PHASE in 1999, we are now seeing Cayce's
prediction fulfilled with remarkable fidelity.
