Magnetic North Pole migration seems to be accelerating.

IainB:
This was a relatively scientific  report: Magnetic north shifting by 40 miles a year, might signal pole reversal

I just watched this, and it seems that the Earth's MNP has shifted a further 161 miles in the last 6 months - assuming the plotting/triangulation was accurate. That's pretty fast for something that was always thought to be a relatively slow and steady process: SHOCK: North Pole Shifted 161 Miles in Last 6 Months

I recall that the Sun's MNP flips approx. every 11 years at the solar maximum. The last time was apparently in 2001 - refer The Sun Does a Flip

Interesting times!

"Reversals typically take about 10,000 years to happen," said Jeffrey Love of the U.S. Geological Survey. "And 10,000 years ago civilisation did not exist. These processes are slow, and therefore we don't have anything to worry about."

That's what Cthulhu thought too, now his whole city is underwater.

Perhaps it's found somewhere that offers a greater attraction?  :huh:

Stoic Joker:
How far can it shift before the sky falls?

Sudden polar shift will jumpstart the Zombies...eek!

It's those pesky Russians trying to steal the north pole ... Attack!!!

Should we bring James Bond in on this?  Or just Adele?
