    Magnetic Pole vs Geomagnetic Pole

    Notice on this map the Geomagnetic pole is not moving very far while the magnetic pole is. The second link indicates the magnetic poles flip every half a million years.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal

    It looks like things could get crazy if they do flip while we are alive.

    Oh yeah, the scientist's have their estimates down pretty clean. The last flip took between several thousand years or a human life time.
    Estimations vary as to the abruptness of the reversal: it might have extended over several thousand years,[3] or much more quickly,[4][5][6] perhaps within a human lifetime.[
    I mean it depends on who you are planning for.

    Meh, buy a coat and some white paint to change S to N and N to S on your compass.

    From what I have read we are technically still in an ice age, but have been in a warming period for the last couple thousand or more years. When the ice age is over it will be lots warmer (no glaciers). Think about that.

    In the mean time, we have had shorter periods of warming trends ( like since mid-1800s) and relapse toward ice age 1300-1850ish). During that cold period rivers like the Thames would totally freeze over every winter.

    So a mini ice age from a grand solar minimum is very possible starting around 2020. People may pray for global warming by 2030. Maybe in a few thousand years the current ice age will end and people will think snow, glaciers and polar ice caps are just myths. More like it was in dinosaur days.

    Solar cycles change, and our climate changes. We had better be able to adapt to climate change and not waste trillions of dollars trying to manage it vain.

    Great, now they are finding a longer solar cycle that occurs roughly every 12K years, that has geological evidence going back for at least six events prior known as a Micro Nova. Essentially a massive solar type event that last occurred- 12K years ago roughly.

    Pole reversal is regular and natural. Drag causes imbalance between the spinning molten iron core causing earth's magnetic field and earth's rock crust. Eventually this imbalance causes a tumbling-like reversal, like a football thrown and losing energy.

    Ice Ages are also natural although a solar minimum may not be enough by itself to cause one. Melankovitch outlined most of this many years ago.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles

    And that is basically but not completely the cause of ice ages. BUT anyone interested in Global Warming should study his cycles since earth warming is also a part of this natural cycle.

    Interesting that those orbital cycles explain a lot but with the problems of non-exact correlation they did not consider solar activity cycles, too. Taken together you would get the overall amount of variation in solar exposure and intensity, which I suspect would account for 99+% of changes in global climate through the ages. Bio activity on earth in comparison is likely very insignificant. Solar activity + earth orientation to sun + average distance from sun is far more critical.

    Big climate chane is inevitable at this point.
