Let's put it this way Pen. It has happened before multiple times. So why is this time supposed to be worse?

Over the past 200 years? Were we capable of determining how strong the magnetic field was 200 years ago? I thought that the Industrial Revolution had barely started in 1814?

How does this jibe with the assertion that's been around for several decades now? That a pole shift has been in progress since we first discovered the location of magnetic north? The pole has moved about 30 feet towards Russia every year since that time.

This comes out of the UK? The last solid bastion of global warming?

It has a lot of indicators which would point to that. It may be that a sudden flip will happen though. This would explain how that massive global earthquake in Revelations would happen. But even so, this has happened many times before, and the dates they figured for it don't match up with any of the mass extinctions. In fact, those happen roughly every 26 million years according to the experts. The last one was 13 million years ago.

Yes, it sounds like a scare tactic. Besides, did you read through that information I stumbled into regarding maritime piracy and pollution? I'm now suspicious that they're trying to come up with as many excuses as they can to increase military presence around the globe. By they, I mean every nation with substantial military power. This would snap into that very neatly. At any rate, various sources have been pulling numbers regarding serious issues out of their behinds for quite a few years now. Check it out. And it's just something I stumbled across by chance. Now you come up with this .....................
