  1. A little ahead in this “in-depth scientific” discover they will say that the fire in the planet will start in Antarctica and it will freeze the Sahara!!

  2. this also impacts the amount of incoming solar radiation … as the sun wakes up from it’s recent minimum

  3. The magnetic field has covered the Earth for Millenium but “scientists studying it for a few years or decades” make a decision about what is happening above and beneath the Earth. Again substantially an unscientific approach and Again using Alarmist conclusions to scare humanity. So-called scientists discrediting themselves and the principles of science. The core principle of OBSERVATION should NOT result in conclusions based on decades of observations against the weight of Millenniums of magnetic expression.

    1. Robert Doell the magnetic field flipped and got shut off in the past there are evidence in ocean floor , lava when comes out of a vulcano records the magnetic field as it solidifies , it just has been flipping.

  4. this event will coincide with the next solar maximum cycle, which is supposed to happen between 2023 and 2026.
    it seems there could be a ‘perfect storm’ brewing on the horizon…

    1. Don’t worry the SAA has been around since the fifties and probably longer. Seen quite a few perfect storms with no problems.

    1. @Wolfvale 1965 really so the magnetic field splitting has been happening all this time? Also the moms gravitational pull has effect on our oceans and plants would it slow plant growth or change ocean patterns

  5. Turkey Lerkey told me that Chicken Little says the sky is definitely falling… I also have a bridge for sale. 😉

    1. Jim C. Well the concept of the stars falling is in the Bible and a pole shift may bring about a physical earth rotation which may well make that vision come true.

  6. Oh my ghwad….i think that happen coz i am hitting D# too hard, Sorry i wont hit my Piano keys too hard anymore.
