All this bad weather around the globe is nothing if we had a complete magnetic pole reversal.
Scientists say its happened 2 maybe 3 times in the millennial past and is overdue to happen again.
really makes me wonder if the Mayans 2012 prophesy is nothing more than a prediction this exact type of a worldwide calamity even, magnetic pole reversal.
I'm not sure we would even notice if the magnetic poles swapped, other than having to hold your compass upside down.
I guess it depends on how 'fast' it changed.
