Do you think the flipping of the magnetic polls will put "climate change" in perspective?

Question

our north and south polls have flipped, (for about a year each time) time and again. this is a fact, look it up..it's about to happen again, perhaps in our lifetime...it wreaks havoc on the weather norms. after this happens and we see what power the earth can unleash regardless of man, will we then see the light and come to the conclusion there is no way in heaven or earth that would could possibly have any meaningful affect on the planet?

polls=poles....her' hurrrrr.

affect the planet in meaningful ways is in reference to the inability of man to cool or warm it more than a degree or two...smog and black particulate matter, like we used to have hanging over our cities definetly kept things cooler, but at what price??

uh...excuse me...core samples taken from show that for only one season or year the carbon molecules facing upside down, that means that the "flip" only lasts about a year...of course leading up to the flip, may take hundreds, but the time the south is north last only about a year...

Answer 1

So, your numbers are a little off and I think you should watch the NOVA special "Magnetic Storm".

The poles have swapped about every 200,000 years in the past and have not flipped in about 750,000 years by most estimates, so we are overdue in a sense. There is data from core samples of lava that show the flipped field. We are seeing a marked decrease in the strength of the earths magnetic field occurring presently. So it might be starting for all we know.

The earths magnetic field provide a "bubble" of safety from cosmic radiation and solar winds. During the actual transition, there would be climate changes and increased radiation exposure and cancer rates would be very high.

That said, it will take hundreds of years for the poles to flip and odds are good it won't happen in our lifetime.

As far as global warming, it would be unwise not to consider it a contributing factor, but I also do not believe it to be the root cause. We are burning obscene amounts of petroleum that has been locked up in the ground for millions of years, and we know from chemistry, if you add one reactant in excess, you will shift the equilibrium of the system. The earth is certainly a big system, but certainly will change.

Answer 2

Smog never kept things cooler-take Venus, for example: The clouds of Venus keep the heat in the Atmosphere, and that is what we are trying to avoid by cutting back emissions which DO have a meaningful effect on Global temperatures and Weather Cycles. Some Clouds DO keep out much Light and Heat, but what gets through is unable to radiate back into Space.

The conclusion that you are trying to make is not correct. Humans are having a VERY BAD EFFECT on this planet, proven over and over by those who care, and are trying to communicate the danger to others. We must do what we can NOW. If God made this planet, God won`t like what WE have done to it.

The Magnetic anomalies have been showing up in the Ocean and causing ships to lose their navigational abilities-this is a precursor to what will happen in the Flip, which includes direct bombardment from Solar and Cosmic particles, and can only be addressed by creating giant Domes, moving underground, undersea, or off-Planet.

We will then See The Light just like the Astronauts do.

Science will give the Answers, Faith will keep us together, and the next Sunrise might never come-So, Be Excellent to each other.

"the flip lasts one year"? get real!

Answer 3

Oshaberi has pointed out the correct timescales involved so I won't dwell on that. I'll address your question about how the flipping of the poles could affect climate...

The short answer is that it's highly unlikely and if it does then it's effects are minute.

Explanation - Whilst we can't say for certain that magnetism has absolutely no effect on our weather there are some factors that we do know which can be taken into account.

First, the stratosphere extends to approx 50km above Earth's surface, within and below the stratosphere the atmosphere is electrically neutral and doesn't conduct electricity. This property ensures the atmosphere is not affected by magnetic fields. Above the stratosphere there is an electric charge but our weather is generated within 20km of Earth's surface - well within the 'neutral zone'

And secondly, the driving force behind weather is is the energy received from solar radiation heating the Earth's surface but the energy of the magnetosphere is provided by solar winds. The amount of energy from solar winds is about one four thosandth of that received from solar radiation and only a tiny part of that energy actually reaches the upper atmosphere. That tiny part which does reach the upper atmosphere is directed toward the polar regions.

In short, the amount of magnetic energy is such a tiny amount compared to the total energy that drives our weather that it's effects are negligible. Not quite a drop in the ocean, more like a drop is a swimming pool.

In addition, see also the points made by other answerers regarding the ozone layer.

Answer 4

Since the magnetic field question has been addressed, I'll discuss the global warming aspect.

Your logic is flawed. You're saying the equivalent of "if a giant meteor hits the Earth it could kill all humans, therefore humans can't have a meaningful affect on the planet." One thing has nothing to do with the other.

There are over 6 billion people on the planet, and our technology has been growing at an exponential rate. To claim that we couldn't possibly have a meaningful impact on the planet is simply naive and illogical.

Answer 5

You'd better find a better comic book to do your research. The flip happens every 50,000 to 100,000 years and is caused by the change in flow in the earth's core. The actual flip itself takes around 1,000 years to take place and the danger is not to the climate but due to radiation. While the field is in transition and near zero, there is essentially no protection against UV energy.

Answer 6

It remains to be seen but from what I saw on TV a couple of months ago, our magnetic poles are in the process of flipping. I keep thinking how interesting it will be to look at a compass when that happens and see N showing up as S, etc.

Answer 7

can i merely get clean? who's accusing you of being racist? it looks you get carry of the familiar "climate replace isn't actual" paranoics out in rigidity. there is exciting stuff accessible approximately Judaism and ecology. Arthur Waskow has definitely written some, and searching for contemporary perspectives on the competition of Tu b'sh'vat might in all probability get you some exciting cloth. i do no longer think of this is Jews claiming you're being 'racist' when you consider that all of us understand completely nicely we are no longer a race. a number of your answerers look to have assumed this is Jews making those decrease than useful responses. optimistically you may make this clean.

Answer 8

I DO believe that we can have a "meaningful" effect on the planet's climate, at least in the sense of climate conditions that make the planet habitable.

I just don't believe that we are making a significant effect through carbon emissions.

Answer 9

U got the part about man causing global warming but don't worry about the magnetic field changing because we will all be dead . The magnetic field holds the ozone layer where it is and if it were to reverse polarity it would be a slow process and we would get radiated .

Answer 10

We can, and do, have an effect on the planet. The global warming alarmists have us ignoring the real problems, like poluted waterways, and dwell on harmless carbon emmissions. If they have their way they'll wreck the environment in far worst ways than any industrialists will.
