Science rebuts the doomsday scenario

If we get a magnetic pole reversal, then from studies of previous reversals and modeling, the main risk is increased UV as a result of the ozone layer damaged by repeated solar storms. It would mean that you need to wear more sunblock cream on sunny days…

…The risks from solar storms are always present, whether it’s a magnetic reversal or not. The main risk of a solar storm is of GPS satellites glitching for hours, recovering once it is over – and of power cuts. We used to think that the power cuts could be severe and cost getting on for a trillion dollars and risk power cut for months or longer.

However, the grid is more resilient than those early studies suggested. It is now thought to be similar to a major hurricane in effect, perhaps up to $100 billion in costs for the US and only local short-term power cuts…

…Some people get scared that it would lead to climate effects like ice melting at the poles, earthquakes, etc. This is a magnetic pole shift, not a geographical one. All that happens is that your compass starts to point in a different direction and eventually it points south instead of north. (source)

There are many signs that the poles are indeed going to flip.

When a pole shift occurs, it is a temporary phenomenon – it always shifts back. The problem is, we don’t know precisely when this will happen. But the signs that it is imminent are present.

Geophysicist Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado at Boulder noted that over the past 200 years the planet’s magnetic field has weakened by 15 percent, it can be a sign of the imminent geomagnetic inversion. 50%<
