NASA: Earth’s magnetic poles are ‘switching’ with
catastrophic consequences for humanity

would be gone, leaving us at the mercy of solar flares
THE Earth could be left powerless to defend against blasts of solar radiation from the Sun for up to 200 YEARS, leaving us at risk from skin cancer and worldwide electronic communication blackouts, NASA scientists have warned.

Climate researchers believe we are heading towards a reversal of the planet's magnetic field, an event that has happened before and has been attributed to wiping out the Neanderthal species.
Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator at the University of Colorado, Boulder, said when the switch does take place, the Earth's magnetic field which prevents the Sun's dangerous radiation getting through, would be neutralised for around 200 years.
He revealed the detail during an historic announcement about how Mars lost 99% of its atmosphere and its oceans that could have housed early life.
Mr Jakosky explained that Mars had been blasted by solar winds, which had stripped it of its atmosphere, for billions of years since the beginnings of our solar system.
He said: "When the polar shift happens the Earth will have no magnetic field for about 200 years."
During that time the Sun's solar blasts are expected to strip away at our atmosphere as they did on Mars billions of years ago.
But he thankfully added that 200 years would not be long enough for the Sun to significantly reduce the atmosphere for life to die out.
GETTY - Earth's magnetic field
is already weakening
However, scientists admit that 200 years without a magnetic shield to defend against the Sun's solar storms, which cause the amazing northern lights on earth as the rays hit the magnetic shield, would have implications for us.
The magnetic shield is our first line of defence against harmful UV rays, and any thinning of the atmosphere could increase the risk from skin cancer.
Without a magnetic field, or with a significantly reduced one it could destroy global communications facilities, power supplies, and even lead to fires and rioting on the streets, according to some researchers.
There are even doom-mongers have predicted that a swap of the magnetic poles from north to south would shift the continents so fiercely it would trigger mass earthquakes, rapid climate change, extinctions and global destruction.
Geologists have said the shift event has happened a number of times in Earth's history - with the last one 780,000 years ago during the stone age.
Alan Thompson, head of geomagnetism at the British Geological Survey, said during previous flips: "no worldwide shifting of continents or other planet-wide disasters occurred, as geoscientists can testify to from fossil and other records."
Earthquakes aside, there is a scientific belief that as we head towards a reversal - which could be less than 1,000 years away, Earth's magnetic field will dangerously weaken leaving us at the mercy of solar storms when radiation and X-rays are ejected from the Sun towards our planet.
This autumn www.express.co.uk reported how there are fears if there is another major solar flare as powerful as the last recorded strongest in Victorian times, trillions of pounds of damage could be done to the economy by power and communication blackouts.
The most dramatic changes that occur when the poles reverse is a very large decrease of the total field intensity
Jean-Pierre Valet, who conducts research on geomagnetic reversals at the Institute of Earth Physics
But it is scientifically accepted out magnetic field has significantly weaker over the past 160 years and it is believed this could mean we are heading for the next big polar reversal, which could happen any time between 1,000 to 10,000 years to finish.

While changes in Earth's magnetic field strength are part of a normal flipping cycle, data from Swarm satellites have shown the field is starting to weaken faster than in the past. Previously, researchers estimated the field was weakening about 5 percent per century, but the new data revealed the field is actually weakening at 5 percent per decade, or 10 times faster than thought. http://www.livescience.com/46694-magnetic-field-weakens.html
ReplyDeleteA new study shows that the last time the Earth's poles flipped, it only took 100 years for the reversal to happen. Data collected in the summer of 2014, by a European Space Agency (ESA) satellite suggests the field is weakening 10 times faster than scientists originally thought. They predicted a flip could come within the next couple thousand years. It turns out that might be a very liberal estimate, scientists now report.. http://news.discovery.com/earth/earths-magnetic-field-could-flip-in-our-lifetime-141020.htm
In addition, the Sun's magnetic field is soon going to flip by 180-degrees which could lead to changes in climate, storms and even disrupt satellites, scientists have warned.

“If the sun really is entering an unfamiliar phase of the solar cycle, then we must redouble our efforts to understand the sun-climate link,” notes Lika Guhathakurta of NASA’s Living with a Star Program, which helped fund the NRC (National Research Council) study.

Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the 'mini ice age' that began in 1645. "We found magnetic wave components appearing in pairs, originating in two different layers in the Sun's interior. They both have a frequency of approximately 11 years, although this frequency is slightly different, and they are offset in time. Over the cycle, the waves fluctuate between the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun. Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97%," said Zharkova.https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/our-staff/z/professor-valentina-zharkova/

Previously on The Corbett Report we discussed the technocratic agenda of the Trilaterals and their globalist ilk with “Technocracy Rising” author Patrick Wood, key researcher of the Trilateral Commission. Patrick Wood joins us once again to discuss the upcoming COP21 Climate Conference in Paris and how it plays into the technocrats’ plan to control the world’s resources and implement genocidal eugenics-based austerity. 33 minutes

Indeed, Free Your Mind; in fact we are overdue for a full-blown ice age which could commence in as little as 20 years. However, at present the world IS heating alarmingly. An important detail to note is that when climatologists predict a 2 degree celsius rise in temp they're talking about the global average, including the oceans. A '2 degree rise' actually means something between 5 AND 12 DEGREES ON THE LAND. No-one seems to mention this. Thus we are truly fiddling while the future burns - unless an ice age comes to 'save' us by instantly depopulating the planet...
DeleteThe truth NOW is that Big Oil and Big Coal have polluted the planet beyond its capacity to easily recover and we are slowly cooking in their juices - and denialists are simply doing unpaid work on their behalf. In a decade or two things MAY change in a different direction. At present it's easy to see who the real villains are - not the followers of poor old wooden Al Gore but the oily bastards who stole Amerika from him in 2000 and the world from us all in 2001.
Let's create a better timeline ;)
We'll see.
