Trump's fault?

Something strange is going on at the top of the world. Earth’s north magnetic pole has been skittering away from Canada and towards Siberia, driven by liquid iron sloshing within the planet’s core. The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world’s geomagnetism experts into a rare move.

On 15 January, they are set to update the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and underlies all modern navigation, from the systems that steer ships at sea to Google Maps on smartphones.

The most recent version of the model came out in 2015 and was supposed to last until 2020 — but the magnetic field is changing so rapidly that researchers have to fix the model now. “The error is increasing all the time,” says Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Centers for Environmental Information.

The problem lies partly with the moving pole and partly with other shifts deep within the planet. Liquid churning in Earth’s core generates most of the magnetic field, which varies over time as the deep flows change. In 2016, for instance, part of the magnetic field temporarily accelerated deep under northern South America and the eastern Pacific Ocean. Satellites such as the European Space Agency’s Swarm mission tracked the shift.

There is a solid part at the core.

There is a frozen crust.

Between, there is a hot mess of weird stuff.

The geologic evidence is quite clear. The poles have "flip-flopped", many times. It takes several hundred years.

An unnamed insider reports that the Boulder-based teams are leveraging high-dose edibles and lava lamps in an attempt to understand the complex dynamics involved.

They're expecting a breakthrough after snacks.

All we have to do is open up the log books and check the know measurements over the last 10,000 years and then we'll know if this is cyclical or if it's out of the ordinary. No need to guess based on political assumptions.

It can't be global warming. We ran out of petroleum 40 years ago based off these same assumptions.

Consider this, how many trillions of tons of ice is putting pressure on the earths crust via gravity and the consequences of what would happen if that were to suddenly (relatively) change?

Do you think it would have an impact?

Just a question

The exact same amount if it turned to water.

The question was if you think that might have an impact on the earth. My suggestion was that it could, as that is a enormous amount of weight being redistributed.

I am of the mind that it probably has an effect

I was thinking that the diminishing weight of the melting ice caps was probably changing the shape of the Earth, altering the course of the magma flowing within the planet. I just hope we end up with a better view of the northern lights.

No body "knows" what creates the earth's magnetic field. Most of that article is dumbed down bullshit.

Look at the website "suspicious observers" for more accurate and detailed information with speculation clearly labeled as such.

Uh, the ice isnt on the crust, the pole isnt physically moving, the pole wont melt.
