Earth’s magnetic field is acting up and geologists don’t know why

😳 Blazing Saddles, Airplane, CaddyShack... these are cultural experiences you must see before they are sunken into the abyss of political correctness and lost for all time. The Twinkie I can forgive. Sort of. Although you could bury one and you could still eat it 100,000 years later.

Remember the good ole days when everything was Bush’s fault and everybody loved Donald Trump?

These are modern times and the pole is making a beeline for Siberia ... we all know what country that area is located in and who is obviously to blame ...

[Ann Archy]

OH....I’m SURE WE can FIX it!! /s

“Your gauss is as good as mine.”

Very good! I wonder how many are going to point you to spell check.

[DouglasKC]

Read it!

they were planning on adjusting the model in 2020. Now they have to adjust it in 2019. Oh ... the humanity!

[rlbedfor]

That was funny. It is a giant Russian magnet in Siberia.

[I want the USA back]

Either global warming, or Trump, or both.

...and after tossing the caber, everyone can enjoy the haggis!

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

So does this mean that when I program my GPS to take me to Cleveland I’ll wind up in Pittsburgh instead?

I do have this 600 pound one, and not surprisingly, it's confined in a magnetic containment system...

[ExSES]

Damn..., I wonder how many airports will have to change their runway designators this time?

We are currently going into a solar minimum. The number of sunspots is an indicator of the strength of the sun’s magnetic field. I’m wondering if there could be some sort of coupling effect between the solar magnetic field and the earth’s.

Any physicists out there who could chime in?

I think it’s all them electric vehicles upsetting the normal magnetic flux...need to scrap them and only use internal combustion....

It’s the trade deficit and steel displacement. We are magnetically off balance.

What the heck?? Why is this on the CIA website? I've read a lot of books/theories about crustal displacements and related geo based sudden cataclysmic theories. But any idea why this is on the cia website? Is it normal?

Adding to that, the sun is not a perfect static center in it’s self. The Sun’s “Barycenter” moves around aside from the earth having an elliptical orbit. And we tend to forget that the whole solar system has an orbit around the galactic center. Who knows what influences our whole solar system and earth magnet as we orbit through different galactic magnetic field zones emanating from the galactic center.

Cool find... Afraid to download it but going to read it.
