Good point. I'll try to sieve through other network newscasts prior to posting something that may be of scientific interest to the trapping community.

To be fair its always moving, its just shifted a good bit from where it was over the last 20-30 years

The question from when this story originally got traction was because of the shift is somewhat drastic is whether or not we are seeing a flip in the poles.

it has been moving for as long as we have been tracking it
but it stayed in a similar spiral for a hundred years not moving much , now it is moved in a more strait line the last 20 years


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

We are going to need more electric cars with magnetic fields just in case it starts to wobble then the gov can give an alert and every one can go in the direction needed so the earth will right its stuff. Sounds expensive but a necessity to save mankind at least until we can migrate to Mars.

Since my boundary lines are north and south will I need to move the cornerstones so I'm not trespassing on my neighbor. Just when we hope in retirement things will get easier it always seems to get more complicated.

I wouldn't worry to much about it I might be the last person carrying a compass

everyone else seems to be on GPS , i have that also but the compass needs no battery and weights almost nothing.

also has anyone else noticed it has basically been going in a strait line since 1904

think about it this way , it bounced around form 1590 to 1831 and has mostly gone in a strait line since , any one else wondering about the accuracy of the measuring from 1590 to 1831?

This planet will do whatever it wants to do.
Man can spend all the money in the world to change that, and it won't make a difference to this planet!

The magnetic shift also affects GPS accuracy. They have to make new adjustments for the magnetic field constantly. Plus there's that pesky radiation that could be let in as a result of the shift.

X2 The earth spinning on a different axis is changing weather patterns, but if you pay more into the green deal, that will fix it! NOT!!
