The magnetic field has flipped many many times. Last was 700,000 years ago I believe. It happens at random intervals. The reason isn't really known. What is known is that the magnetic field is caused by movement of the molten metal in the core. It acts as an electromagnet. There's on permanent magnet inside the earth. I wouldn't worry, because the previous flips didn't cause any catastrophic extinctions or anything like that.
We do have significant influence. There is a detailed record of past global warming and cooling gathered from glacial ice coring. The warming that is happening now is unprecedented. Do your own research if you want the right to tell geologists they are wrong.
Yeah, I guess it sucks for them. I don't know how they adapt to that, but they did 700,000 years ago.
Haha, poll flipping. I remember seeig a website a while back...Zetatalk or something like that, that predicted a poll reversal in May of 03, causing catostrophic conditions on earth. They had all kinds of instructions on how to build a shelter to survive the event, as well as instructions on how to make food out of anything. Interestingly crazy.
My only comment is, if the polls reverse, think of all the lost old men out there driving around with their little globe compasses glued to their dashboards

Btw, I don't see how this can affect global warming. I really doubt it does. Of course "conservatives" are always struggling to fight science.

From the article....
"The weakening -- if coupled with a subsequently large influx of radiation in the form of protons streaming from the sun -- can also affect the chemistry of the atmosphere, said Charles Jackman of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
That can lead to significant but temporary losses of atmospheric ozone, he said. "

Actually I've heard it could be very dangerous. They don't really know how long the shift will take. If it takes a while, and the magnetic field stays at null for any semi large ammount of time, we will losethe van allen belts, which protect us from harmfull radiation from the sun. If this happens, the whole world get fried.
Fun
since I live next to a pond I have to deal with goose sh!t like it's a weather pattern. I would cry with joy the day they DIE!
indeed... in fact, i've got the tv cap of it on my computer. if anyone's interested and wants to host it, i'd be more than happy to send it to them (310MB)
What are you talking about? Global warming and ozone depletion are two separate, serious issues.

Where would they go about finding coconuts? I assume they could grab them by the husk. Ah perhaps with global warming, it will be much easier for European swallows to find them!

I read a book a while ago called Awakening to the Zero Point that predicted this. He forcasted a cataclysm. I dunno.
um... did you not get the joke? or was there some level of factiousness going on that i personally didn't catch?
ps
obviously that's when Christ will return to get me off the planet... just as the sun explodes to destroy all you evil-people
