What wouldl be the very first signs of a Pole Shift

[Novalwriter04]

I am was wondering with all the talk and with all the rumors 'I wanted to know the facts' of what would be the first signs a Pole Shift has began 'You know like what to expect and look for'

From what I have read "global warming" is suppose to be the first sign of Polar Shift, along with volcanic activity, rising sea levels, and earthquakes.

lol, none of those are signs of a pole shift.

 

the first signs of a pole shift are a weakening magnetic field with magnetic north straying further from true north which is what we see now. over the next few hundred years the field will continue to weaken before becoming slightly chaotic and the earth having more than two magnetic poles before the field settles down and strengthens again but the other way round.

 

nothing disasterous happens, just compasses point the opposite way.

Perhaps someone should pass this information onto this guy...

yes, someone should.

 

seeing as they seem to be part of a 'ZOMG! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE IN 2012!' group, i don't think they can be used as a reliable source or even a well intentioned source.

 

the pole reversal can be successfully modeled using scientific theories and we have evidence that it has happened lots of times in earths history, even with humans about so we can be sure it isn't going to wipe us out or even detriment us significantly.

 

our technology will be more exposed to solar flares and the like BUT we know it is coming so we can prepare contingency plans and effective shielding. radiation exposure on our person will also increase, but it should be significant enough to kill people by the millions and we definitely won't be getting giant mutated cockroaches as one 'ZOMG MAGNETIC FIELDS ARE GONNA KILL US ALL' person has claimed. they are far more likely to be found under george w bush's bed as thats where i put them.

 

basically, the field reversal is situation normal, just don't trust your compass.

The North magnetic pole isn't at true North even now, nor is it fixed, as it wanders. The attached image shows its relative positions in 2001 and 2005.

 

This polar drift is not due to an impending pole shift.

[insane_alien]

i know the pole isn't at true north now which is why i used the word 'further'.

 

and bt that i meant a far larger drift than the current wander it does.
