No, gravity causes weight, you don't even feel a magnetic field, unless you're hanging on to some iron, and even then you couldn't feel the earth's field. The compass in your car can "feel" the field though. Might require a new compass, or you could learn to read the one you have backwards.
The reduction in the strength of the field is presumably only a temporary condition. The field would dwindle to zero and then build up with the opposite polarity.
It's happened before.
And what more proof do we need? It's all Bush's fault.
Magnetic north, by current convention, would be geographic south. "will be" would be more appropriate than "would be" because the poles have reversed before and likely will do so again. When is the question.
Boy it's been stinking hot here in Alaska for the last week, now I know why. Next thing I know it will be cooler down in Texas than here and then I'll have to move back. Just when I thought I had gotten it right.

A flip would kill us all from the death rays, now blocked from the magnetic field. So says William Bryons, in a "Short History of Nearly Everything." I believe him.
(You may be better of asking Mr. Science ;-)

I'll just have to turn my maps upside down so I know where North is.
Ha! I read the article and thought Art Bell would have a fun time with this one.
