Forget global warming, worry about the MAGNETOSPHERE: Earth's magnetic field is collapsing and it could affect the climate and wipe out power grids
Earth's magnetic field has weakened by 15 per cent over the last 200 years
Could be a sign that the planet's north and south poles are about to flip
If this happens, solar winds could punch holes into the Earth's ozone layer
This could damage power grids, affect weather and increase cancer rates
Evidence of flip happening in the past has been uncovered in pottery
As the magnetic shield weakens, the spectacle of an aurora would be visible every night all over the Earth.

Deep within the Earth, a fierce molten core is generating a magnetic field capable of defending our planet against devastating solar winds.

The protective field extends thousands of miles into space and its magnetism affects everything from global communication to animal migration and weather patterns.

But this magnetic field, so important to life on Earth, has weakened by 15 per cent over the last 200 years. And this, scientists claim, could be a sign that the Earth’s poles are about to flip.

Experts believe we're currently overdue a flip, but they're unsure when this could occur.

If a switch happens, we would be exposed to solar winds capable of punching holes into the ozone layer.

The impact could be devastating for mankind, knocking out power grids, radically changing Earth’s climate and driving up rates of cancer.

‘This is serious business’, Richard Holme, Professor of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences at Liverpool University told MailOnline. ‘Imagine for a moment your electrical power supply was knocked out for a few months – very little works without electricity these days.’

The Earth's climate would change drastically. In fact, a recent Danish study believes global warming is directly related to the magnetic field rather than CO2 emissions.

The study claimed that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.

Radiation at ground level would also increase, with some estimates suggesting overall exposure to cosmic radiation would double causing more deaths from cancer.

Researchers predict that in the event of a flip, every year a hundred thousand people would die from the increased levels of space radiation.

'Radiation could be 3-5 times greater than that from the man-made ozone holes. Furthermore, the ozone holes would be larger and longer-lived,' said Dr Colin Forsyth from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at UCL.

The magnetosphere...... And then there's asteroids, and super bugs, and solar flares, and the immanent eruption of Yellowstone, fluoride in the drinking water, decreased fertility of white people, alien invasion, aliens already here,...

No end to the list of potential diversions from reality. Did I mention China.....

Check out the current US federal deficit, and any recent stats on global ecology if you want a little glimpse of the real.

Nutty.

Any more nutty than putting the magnetosphere "issue " before that of the ongoing environmental crisis, or the Trump crisis?

...at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.

Yeah, but which plot? The plot to make you believe there was a plot, or the plot to make you believe there was no plot? Or perhaps, the plot was about making us so sure that there could never be a plot so that anyone could plot whatever plotting they wanted.

Conspiracy theory are self-realizing endless mazes.

Watched the clip... a half hour of my life that is lost for ever. I suspect that the Climate Change denier in the clip may well be suffering from a mental disorder.

The clip would do well in its own thread as an example of how people have beliefs first, and then look for the reasons for their beliefs... rather than hold belief's that are deduced from reason.

Our fate is sealed and no amount of reason is going to change that.

You will perceive whatever is convenient to what you believe.

Nothing surprising about that. Nothing special.

My point exactly. At last the same page!

Indeed.

But, all the fear-mongering aside. National socialism, if it can be understood without connotations of fascism, isn't all that bad. Agreed?

You can't distill the positives from National Socialism any more than you can distill a soft drink from arsenic. Anything that's left that isn't abominable isn't National Socialism and needs a new name.
