No, the magnetic field is effected by the Earth's rotation. It hasn't much to do with the weather (and especially global warming). It is proven that the Earth's mag. field has changed many times throughout it's history. One can look at the ocean floor to see when recent reversals have happened since they seem to happen every few thousand years. We look at the ocean floor because rocks are created when magma from the mid-ocean ridge spews out, and when rocks are created ther take on the magnetic properties of the Earth at that time. Also, this reversal seems to happen rather quickly (within a matter of days). So if you were to determine the age of a change from these ocean rocks, then you will be able to check that era with any sort of catastrophes or mass extinctions or climate changes. So far we haven't found any evidence that a such reversal will have any negative effects on the globe. It will be quite interesting to see the Northern Lights in other areas of the world though: it is predicted that at the time of the reversal, the Northern Lights would be viewed even at the equator!

Probably not related, although I have seen no studies relating specifically to this. The magnetic field has a relatively minor effect on earthly goings-on -- principally, it deflects charged particles toward the poles, to make the aurora. There is no obvious mechanism here that would affect temperature.

well...earth's tilt is caused by the magnetic field of the earth...and global warming is something cuased by the variation in the climate....and that variartion is again cause dby the tilt and movement of the earth....so in both the cases tilt of the earth is something common in both the proceses.....so in that case i think reversal of magnetic field CAN cause the earths global warming...

Simple answer - nope. Magnetic fields do not affect weather or temperature.

No, it causes the north pole to become the south pole and the south pole to become the norht pole.

Only during the switch i believe (which can take a long time).
