I heard and read somewhere online that the Earth's Magnetic Force is to flip every 200,000 years on average but the last was about 750,000 years ago and scientists believe that one will happen soon! If it does happen soon, what sort of effect would it have on the Earth and humans (us) and does global waming have anything to do with the magnetic force flipping?

Edit: It seems almost everyone has answered the effect would be reverse: the Earth's magnetic field flipping would have an effect on global warming. Then if so, what sort of effect's would there be and could the Earth's magnetic field now and currently slowly flipping have to do with the reasoning of why our Earth's temperature has rised so much and is blamed on Global Warming?

Global warming does not have an effect on the reversal of the magnetic poles. What causes the magnetic poles is the solid Iron inner core of the planet rotating at a higher speed than that of the rest of the earth. Global warming would not have an effect on what is happening 3160–3954 miles below the earth's surface.
My geology professor says that we are currently in a reversal right now, but we don't know exactly what will happen as it progresses.
All I can say is that the protection that we get from the magnetic field will be reduced dramatically, and it let in either some or all of the charged radiation that the sun emits ( some say that during the reversal the protection is only reduced slightly and others say the magnetic field is gone completely).
You can see the magnetic field at work by looking at the aurora borealis or aurora australis, because they are created be the magnetic field redirecting the charged particles to the north and south poles.
If you look this up some more on the internet, just be careful on what you read. Some sources are not that reliable; therefore, try to remain with academically credited sites and avoid those that are ummmm a little unfounded.

I would say , if anything, that its more likely the the magnetic force flipping would have an effect on global warming .. than the other way around.

stress container? you want to be quite more beneficial particular.. The poles have switched a number of situations throughout the time of historic previous, and this change is major yet would possibly no longer reason a melting of the ice caps.

No. Global warming is bunk, plain & simple. It's the paranoid bleatings of chicken little liberals using junk science. Right now, we must be in that new ice age those same 'scientists' predicted back in the 1970s. (Nyuk!)

Don't believe everything you read on the net. Jesus has been coming soon for 2000+ years.

No, the two are totally unrelated.

On first thought you would think so , but when you really think about it no.
