Earth’s magnetic field is what allows us to exist. It deflects harmful radiation. It keeps our water and atmosphere in place. But now it’s acting up — and nobody knows why.
Planet Earth is alive. Deep beneath its skin, its life blood — rivers of molten iron — pulse around its core. And this mobile iron is what generates the magnetic field that causes auroras — and keeps us alive.
But, according to the science journal Nature, something strange is going on deep down below.
It’s causing the magnetic North Pole to ‘skitter’ away from Canada, towards Siberia.
“The magnetic pole is moving so quickly that it has forced the world’s geomagnetism experts into a rare move,” Nature reports.

On January 30 (delayed due to the US Government shutdown), the World Magnetic Model — which governs modern navigation systems — is due to undergo an urgent update.
This model is a vital component of systems ranging from geopositioning systems used to navigate ships through to smartphone trackers and maps.
The current model was expected to be valid until 2020. But the magnetic pole began to shift so quickly, it was realised in 2018 that the model had to be fixed — now.
“They realised that it was so inaccurate that it was about to exceed the acceptable (safe) limit for navigational errors,” Nature reports.
FICKLE TIDES
Every year, geophysicists from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Geological Survey do a check on how the Earth’s magnetic field is varying.
This is necessary as the liquid iron churning in the Earth’s core does not move in a consistent manner.
“In 2016, for instance, part of the magnetic field temporarily accelerated deep under northern South America and the eastern Pacific Ocean,” Nature reports.
This shift was captured by satellites.

But the movement of the north magnetic pole has been the object of study since 1831. Initially, it was tracked moving into the Arctic Ocean at a rate of about 15km each year. But, since the mid 1990s, it has picked up speed.
It’s now shifting at a rate of about 55km a year.
But another recent study has revealed the Earth’s magnetic field has been acting up now for some 1000 years.
CORE OF THE MATTER
Why the magnetic field is shifting so dramatically is unknown.
“Geomagnetic pulses, like the one that happened in 2016, might be traced back to ‘hydromagnetic’ waves arising from deep in the core,” Nature reports. “And the fast motion of the north magnetic pole could be linked to a high-speed jet of liquid iron beneath Canada”.
This fast-flowing molten river appears to be weakening the magnetic influence of the iron core beneath North America.

“The location of the north magnetic pole appears to be governed by two large-scale patches of magnetic field, one beneath Canada and one beneath Siberia,” Phil Livermore of the University of Leeds told an American Geophysical Union meeting. “The Siberian patch is winning the competition.”
And, as global warming opens up more shipping lanes to the north of Russia and Canada, this presents a potentially deadly problem.
“The fact that the pole is going fast makes this region more prone to large errors,” says Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and NOAA.
THANKS for this, as I have been casually watching this for a couple of years.
Effect on the jet stream and weather pattern’s?
And then there is this:
Admin,
Glad you posted this. Rex at Leak Project discusses this on his YouTube channel.
https://youtu.be/eCT-HHBgJL8
His tinfoil hat is killer! Don’t agree with everything he says, but his perspective is unique. He has an interesting take on 5G and the satellites being put into low orbit.
Play this video ……
This video came out years ago. How did B.O.B. know? There are a series of ‘messages’ contained within this video. Try and figure them out …. they seem to be coming to pass …
Hey Motley There are some Messages here to from all the way back to 1973
I used to watch a guy on YouTube that talked about earthquakes and volcanoes. He noted this years ago. Where have the scientists been?
Vixen,
I wonder if his name was Bug?
I don’t remember his channel’s name but he was the first guy who explained “Post Glacial Rebound effect”…..never had I heard of an actual “scientist” talking about the term until just recently like this article
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-post-glacial-rebound.html
Found this video of Scot from BUG Believers underground YouTube from 2009…listen to him ask the science community back then what they are finally admitting over the past few years
No, it wasn’t Bug. I lost the guy’s website in my “favorites” when I had to buy a new computer and I haven’t watched his stuff for a while because I couldn’t remember his name. But this made me search for him. His YouTube channel is dutchsinse. Here’s an example of what he does.
Oh yeah,
Dutchsinse has been doing an amazing job for years.
And as he says at the end of his videos to his viewers,
Much Love!
I always enjoyed watching his videos. Glad this reminded me of him and I searched him out, since I couldn’t remember his name. I simply typed in “earthquake” on YouTube and his videos popped right up. 🙂 So I’ll be watching him again.
Hey Vic you would like this guy, he and Dutch are on the same track. I find that Ben Davidson is more vocal, like Dutch Used to be..
Thank you, skycat. I’ll check it out.
skycat, I just watched a couple of the SuspiciousObservers videos. I find them intriguing. Just subscribed to his YouTube channel, along with getting back to dutchsinse’s videos.
When I was in school I hated science and wasn’t interested in it, but these types of things have always interested me. We just didn’t seem to study much of it in school.
here’s one you might like lets you play with the commits https://theskylive.com/3dsolarsystem notice where all the gas giants are, they are all on the same side of the sun
Sssh, Democrats will propose a magnetic field tax.
It’s obviously caused by all the Mexicans sneaking north and throwing the planet off kilter. Only the Wall can stop it.
OK, smartass, why didn’t the pole shift when the Native Americans were driven west from their homelands?
Natives are light footed.
And about a hundred pounds lighter in the ass too
That’s disappointing. I was hoping it was moving closer to N. America so more of us might be able to see the Aurora.
God is telling Whites to move to Russia.
Mr. Liberty
The meteorologists on the boob tube the past few years have brought up the term “Polar Vortex” moving further South; bringing the auroras with them. I believe this occurrence is directly related to the magnetic fields weakening and the North pole accelerating its movement towards Siberia.
the “polar vortex” refers to the persistent structure of low pressure weather systems which orbit around the top of earth’s sphere…. which are the result of the playout of fluid dynamics across the entire atmosphere.
While the cold weather seems to play a role in aurora observations (more in winter than in summer), it is the nature of the magnetic field at the poles and the way its shape allows in cosmic particles, that produces the aurora (or allows it to be visible).
If polar oceans are warming, it’s not due to CO2 global warming; so it must be due to more exposed lava in deep fractures, which would agree with more volcanoes and earthquakes during a Grand Solar Minimum. It’s not the location of the magnetic poles that matters as much as their flux strengths which is decreasing (due to changes in the flows of molten iron magma). Increased Cosmic Radiation (from the decrease in Sunspot particles and Earth’s Magnetic Field) and from failed Nuclear Reactors will become a big problem during the coming Mini-Ice Age probably beginning about 2020 (Global Climate Whores be damned).
PS: Just read Ursel Doran’s post above and agree that inland snows and open sea ice have been building for years and any coastal glaciers calving are due to sea water being heated from below.
RHS jr,
More than one factor is contributing to the phenomenon. Black soot falling onto the snow also contributes to many, not all, of these glaciers from calving.
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/06/140610-connecting-dots-dust-soot-snow-ice-climate-change-dimick/
I would argue that where the soot and dust is coming from is highly debatable .
So, again, it’s the Mexicans.
This is clearly the result of the humans mining iron and moving it to the surface for use in cars and buildings. You can chart how more iron/steel skyscrapers and cars being built correlates with the increasing speed of the pole movements. Not much steel was being used in 1900 and 1920 but then during WWII with the armament build up you can see the pole moves much more rapidly then slows down after the war. The in 2000s with the much of the world, like China, building like it crazy, the moment speeds up dramitically. As such, we must tax iron/steel to raise money to combat Pole Progression and stop building cars and steel buildings. If we don’t, by 2100 the magnetic north pole will continue to accelerate and join the south pole causing the magnetic field to fail and all life on earth will perish. Lots of science-y type people say so.
justyou,
this is one of the most brilliant,scientifical and intuitive analyses i have ever seen-
now how about putting that brilliant mind of yours to work on something a bit more important & weighty,like perhaps the emotions of women or why beer can only be rented,not purchased?
So, the South Pole shifts to where?
Somewhere between Chile and Australia?… and do we re-tilt and the continents all straighten up and act right or do we start getting all kinds of crazy weather and earthquakes.
Oh, never mind.
This is the global map, but if you subscribe to the Flat Earth model, simply visualize the ice wall around the continents and know the shift will not change anything until or unless the Creator decides it will be so.
Signs and wonders, indeed.
The UN got one thing right.
Amen.
I forgot the link to the map, but gcp was kind enough to provide the official UN one.
This one is cool.
I showed my better half a funny video and he one-upped me. This one is just fun.
“Earth’s magnetic pole is on the move, fast. And we don’t know why”
Really?!?! The magnetic pole of the earth is not stable and has a long history of moving, including full blown pole reversals. The earth’s magnetic field arises because the earth has a liquid core, and, unsurprisingly, liquids move – especially rotating ones (the most obvious example of which is precession, as in a gyroscope). This may be a surprise to some people, but we DO know why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal
Yup, geological evidence provides credit to Wandering Pole theory.
wandering pole theory often is associated with increases in divorce, so you could be on to something…
A wandering pole is due to magnetic attraction.
Top that one, Uncompromised!
I thought the wandering Poles were the result of German and Russian invasions of their country in 1939.
OMG! We’ll have to colonize Mars!
Mars looks rather Colon-ized already
As long as the poles don’t wander towards Uranus or mine we’ll be alright.
How about 20 million African-American-Martians??
I was hoping someone would notice (and inform Elon Musk) this part:
and its relation to proposals to (at taxpayer expense) colonize Mars … which has no magnetic field to speak of.
Those damn Russians are stealing the north pole.
They got away with stealing our election so the sky’s the limit.
The Dems and Chamber of Commerce are stealing all the Latinos out of Latin America. The Chinese are stealing the Moon as we speak. What’s gonna be left for us white boyz to steal.
“america can, should, will, and must…. blow up the moon!”
So true to life when it comes to politicians, stupid activists and Neo-Cons that are warmongers for anything.
Imagine for a moment that the rotation of the Earth is not just due to the mere “because it is so” or because something struck the planet causing it to spin in a certain direction. What if the rotation is because of a electrically induced motoring action.
We know massive amounts of electricity supplied by the sun enter and exit the planet via the poles primarily. This is shown by the aurora aka plasma dancing in the skies around the poles.
We are reasonably certain that there is a large metal core in the center of the planet. Some of it is molten, some is solid.
What if these elements took that energy and transformed it into heat and rotational energy causing the planet to spin.
What happens to a motor when you reverse the poles…or input voltage/current?
That sorta makes me a bit nervous.
The earth we know today appears to have survived 183 pole reversals in the last 83 million years. Maybe there’s something better to get nervous about?
Yeah… I read a bit about it and decided not to get too worried yet.
Electronics!
you really ought to read about the entire rest of the solar system.
every planet spins, half of which do not even have solid components.
And you know this for a fact? I’m not losing sleep over it, ultimately in the end there is nothing we can do about it. Crustal displacement and the resulting tsunami would make quick work of all of us anyway.
pretty sure you’ve got it backwards.
According to HollyO, celestial power is preventing a full blown shift, saving humanity for consumption.
Sounds right.
You can’t get any “scientific” report without having global warming injected into it. Fuck
they didn’t capitalize it.
warming on a global scale is called global warming.
Your are a total nitwit if you think the capitalization matters when spreading propaganda to enforce a narrative or meme.
It keeps our water and atmosphere in place.
Say what?
The vast majority of solar wind traveling on a collision course with Earth will be diverted, due to being charged, by the Earth’s magnetic field. If field were not present, more solar wind would reach Earth and very forcefully interact with our atmosphere. Very forcefully meaning push it out of Earth’s orbit a little at a time causing more surface water to evaporate and replace what’s displaced. With matter, specifically atmospheric components, leaving orbit and not being replaced we sustain a net loss leading, eventually, to no atmosphere, see Mars.
As for our natural magnetic field, fear not. Humans can artificially produce similar effects (and have been unintentionally for decades due to submarine communications) on small or large scale (HAARP (I hope I have the right harp acronym, referring to high-altitude ionospheric resonance inducing VLF EMR)).
It just occurred to me that this isn’t about Russia stealing the North Pole. They’re stealing SANTA CLAUS.!!!
Breaking news! They found the cause and it is due to the increaed number of all the lead for brain democrats in north america causing a magnetic shift of polarity since over half are also bipolar. Their influence is causing the poles to want to shift. The north thinks its the south and the south thinks its the north. Just like the democrats cross dress and use the wrong bathrooms. The only thing that hasnt been a spongebob squarepants opposite day is the govt is still screwing the people. I was kinda hoping the people would get to screw the govt for once. Well i guess the dems voter base are always screwing the govt for welfare but I was talking out normal non batshit crazy working blokes.
