Well… maybe not imperiling Earth’s magnetic field… Just delaying the release of the vital World Magnetic Model…
NEWS 09 JANUARY 2019
Earth’s magnetic field is acting up and geologists don’t know why
Erratic motion of north magnetic pole forces experts to update model that aids global navigation.
Update, 9 January: The release of the World Magnetic Model has been postponed to 30 January due to the ongoing US government shutdown.
Something strange is going on at the top of the world. Earth’s north magnetic pole has been skittering away from Canada and towards Siberia, driven by liquid iron sloshing within the planet’s core. The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world’s geomagnetism experts into a rare move.
On 15 January, they are set to update the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and underlies all modern navigation, from the systems that steer ships at sea to Google Maps on smartphones.
The most recent version of the model came out in 2015 and was supposed to last until 2020 — but the magnetic field is changing so rapidly that researchers have to fix the model now. “The error is increasing all the time,” says Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Centers for Environmental Information.

Maybe they can put Robert Mueller on the case… Looks like a clear example of Russia collusion…

I’m sure there’s a connection between the magnetic storm and proposals to build a long line of steel posts along the US border… obviously going to be used to channel that magnetic force…!
Does the alignment of the US border point at China?

So Russia manipulates US data while the US distorts it’s own data to mislead the EU and East Europe.

Not enough alarmism in this report.
Human generated CO2 has heated the magnetic core so much that it’s magnetically depolarizing. The magnetic core is now becoming more unsustainable, and it’s all due to Anthropogenic Climate Change !
Only the UN can save us now!

do I need a sarc tag?
probably
or some idiot will copy/paste and stick it on fbk or twits and call it real
Is this the cause of Global Warming (read; periods of slightly warmer and cooler temperatures)? It’s interesting the “upward” movement through the 30s, the descending movement thereafter (cooling?) and again up over the last few decades.
An article in the Daily Mail included this snippet.
The Earth’s climate could also change. A recent Danish study has found that the earth’s weather has been significantly affected by the planet’s magnetic field.
They claimed that fluctuations in the number of cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere directly alter the amount of cloud covering the planet.
Henrik Svensmark, a weather scientist at the Danish National Space Centre who led the team behind the research, believes that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.
Apparently Mr. Kerton speculates similarly above (I didn’t read all the comments before posting). But what if it is neither cause nor effect but rather 2 effects.
Again thanks for the comments
The cosmic ray ideas are most interesting including.
Possible impact of the Earth’s magnetic field on the history of ancient civilizations
Yves Gallet et al,
Are there connections between the Earth’s magnetic field and climate?
Vincent Courtillot et al,
One of the papers attributed the last ice age to the earth passing through an intense cosmic ray bombardment that increased cloud cover.
Oddly enough, in my software engineering days, I had to build the WMM into our Air Traffic Control software, in order to translate a ‘true’ heading or bearing (on the stereographic plane we plotted in) into the magnetic version required for the aircraft’s navigation. So, I had to get updates of the model every few years. I sort of wonder if my old employers have a maintenance programmer who knows about this? We don’t want aircraft wandering off, do we?
