I seem to remember being taught that the magnetic poles of the world have been slowly shifting, in the back of my mind I have always wondered if that would have had any effect on climate change.
Hi and welcome.
I will try to keep on topic when you ask if our Magnetic poles could influence our climate?
Interesting question... All I can say is maybe?
Our North magnetic Pole hovers around N Canada at the moment.
But our South Magnetic pole is just off South Africa.
The Mag.poles protect us from the Suns ionic particles and cosmic rays by attracting them.
Now since our North mag pole is very close to our geographic pole
may be thats why our North pole is warming?
And our South pole is not?
The South African Magnetic pole not being anywhere as near to the Antartica South pole, as our N Mag pole is to the Artic.
Prehaps the attracted amounts of cosmic particles raining down upon the Artic are tending to warm it?
Theres a lot of discussions about Global Warming going on in
our forum,, under 'Climate Change' at the moment.
Incidentally our Sun reverses its Magnetic Poles every eleven years.
I expect the interval between our Earths magnetic reversals will tend to lengthen, since our internal liquid molten dynamoe must eventually, cool and become more fixed in time.
