"It's a completely natural event, had happened a lot in earths history."
And it takes several thousand years for the earth's magnetic poles to reverse.
We are entering that transitional phase according to some scientists. How it effects the weather is pure speculation.
There seems to be some correlation between magnetic reversals and the onset of an ice age. Link between ice ages and magnetic reversals
It's also a matter of prophecy...
Edgar Casey predicted this about 50 years ago...AND the almost over night climate change in the EU...
This will cause increased weather patterns, normal (but unrecorded weather extremes), an increase in seismic and volcanic activity ,
ALL part of a NORMAL cycle on earth....but a cycle with such a long frequency...it is as of yet unrecorded by "modern" science...
This does NOT signal the "end of the earth"....merely the end of the earth "as we know it"....not the same thing at all...
If you live in a coastal area close to sea level, a volcanic area, or an area prone to earth quakes...
You might give a thought to relocating in the next couple of years....sometime before 2012 if the myans where right...
And buy a Gun.....you'll need it...
