pole shift?

[lopie]

I keep reading about this and while it seems true that magnetic north has moved a lot -- (I wonder how off my topo maps are?) -- that doesn't necessarily mean anything?

Do any of y'all know about this? Can a magnetic shift cause a geographic shift? Does a magnetic shift mean a significant reduction in the magnetosphere? And what does that mean... more radiation entering the atmosphere?

Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

Depending on which Al Gore or Albert Einstein you follow, . . . the poles have shifted (and totally swapped) several times in the past.

Does it make a difference?? Again, . . . if you have a need to run for the hills with a blanket to crawl under, . . . better leave, . . . but otherwise, just remember, . . . there is not one iota of a thing you can do about it.

If it happens, . . . we will survive, . . . we will become zombies, . . . or we will die. Again, . . . we are not the masters of that destiny.

BUT, . . . just for discussion's sake, . . . I don't think man has the ability to determine if it is shifting, . . . has shifted, . . . or will shift. Personal opinion mind you.

May God bless,

Thanks for the detailed and information packed reply!

the pole been moving they think now for the past 1000 years and only now people talk about it
the pole has shifted less then a few inches and not miles or even a foot in the past 20 years since they started looking into it

if the pole has shifted like people think it can or the way they keep claiming then we all be burnt into a crisp
the pole shift that people think that has happen will need the earth to slow down its rotation by least 4% and that dose sound like a small amount, but if the earth was slow down more then 1% the force of its rotation will release a huge amount of heat that will reach well over 700-900 degrees in all areas of the globe and to make it worse, the action of it slowing down that little alone has a huge chance of the planet breaking apart do to gravity being pulled in 2 or more different directions at once
don't get me started on those who think the earth will come to a complete stop and spin the opposite direction, think of it as a speeding car then slam on your breaks to see the skid marks then ask yourself how fast dose the earth move and what a skid mark that will leave.

now the earth dose have its hiccups which dose make the pole shift move faster then it should but it a short sprint of .3 inches MPH

sorry for bad grammar and typos and the large BS post but im liking my first try at flat boat bourbon

I don't know?

That was just a stupid line Professor Brown used in Back to the future. I don't know either, and Jimmy Crack Corn.

is that the movie where the kid went back in time and tried to **** his mom?

True North and Magnetic North have greater variances now.

Generally my pole shifts left but with the right boxer or jeans can shift right with leftward tension.

Viagra tends to change my pole shift.

If the pole shifts the dancer might end up on her butt.

When you understand that true North is relative to lines of Longitude, vice the actual magnetic north, you understand how True North is always a relative concept, especially as you get into the poles.

I think a pole shift would be a dramatic event that would probably play hell with the birds, but I'm not worried it'll wipe us all out. But its been over 700,000 years since ones happened so who knows.

First you maps won't change only the declination diagram. Most agencies do up date that date on their newer issue maps.
