Magnetic Poles May Be About To Flip

AGD writes "According to the Guardian, Earth's magnetic field - the force that protects us from deadly radiation bursts from outer space - is weakening dramatically. . The article goes on to say 'Earth's magnetic field has disappeared many times before -- as a prelude to our magnetic poles flipping over, when north becomes south and vice versa.'"

Suddenly, global warming (the artificially-induced kind) doesn't seem like that big of a long-term threat.

Except that the magnetic pole shift is likely to happen sometime in the next 1000 years or so. Global warming has the potential to wipe out humans prior to this time.

Didn't Dirk Pitt save us from this?

I thought Dirk Pitt saved us from this already?

Seriously. People have been fucking shit up on a global scale with funky wave devices since the 19th century. Do a Google search on Tesla. They say that huge-ass blast in Siberia that was the biggest explosion ever recorded (although few people here know about it methinks) was not a meteor as some claim, but one of Tesla's experiments. Also, I heard from a friend that Tesla claimed that there was a frequency that would destroy the earth. Sounds like utter bs, but really, EVERYTHING, including the earth has a specific frequency. If you generate the same frequency and in phase, you absolutely will cause an increase in the amplitude of the conductive medium's oscillations until it becomes unstable and shatters. You can argue the history or what's going on currently. Frankly, we don't know if any of that was ever true or not. What we DO know is what's possible with our existing knowledge of science!
