Magnetic North Pole now moves 64 km in a year

The magnetic North Pole is moving in fast speed and it does not yet appear that the development stops.
Right now is the magnetic North Pole, near Ellesmere Island in Canada.If it continues its journey in the decades to come, then it will leave Canada, cross the geographic North Pole and end in Russia.

The researchers believe that the field arises because the earth core of iron surrounded by a metallic liquid that spins rapidly around the nucleus. Thus a dynamo effect that creates the magnetic field.
But they also believe that over the 4.6 billion years the earth has existed, so has the magnetic fields died out and emerged again with the opposite polarity many times, perhaps as many as 400 times. Then we have typically been without a magnetic field of around 5000 years before another occurs, and the North Pole and South Pole has changed fields.

What will this effect around us?

-How soon will we get mayor problems with all our satelitebased electronics ?
-Is this an event,that occures in a cyclus,that also includes the comming solarstorms?
-How will it effect the clima?
-What will this meen to you and me?

We cannot afford to let the Russians have the magnetic North Pole.

Something must be done!

huh?

I was thinking more of,
the Haarp machines,does they not work on a way to manipulate the magneticfields?

That has nothing to do with the magnetic north pole. HAARP plays around with the ionosphere, and makes it effects there. It doesn't matter where the magnetic poles are. Heck, there is even a facility in Puerto Rico.

But, thank you! I'll be here all ze week!!

No worries. Canada's airforce has it covered. We have flock of Canada geese and a sortie of flying beavers on the prowl. No worries. North pole secured!

To think we were that close.
