Is there going to be a pole shift coming soon?

[DubiousIntentions]

I don't know if it is just people trolling but I keep reading on different social media sites about a shift in the Earth's magnetic pole that is going to shift soon. I don't know the facts but read that the pole has shifted more than a few times in Earth's history. If it happens we will lose our magnetic shield that protects us from solar radiation and cosmic rays for a period of time. Anyone hear about this? Or is it another fake story like planet Nibiru that comes through our solar system every 3,000 years or so?

No, it is real.

The magnetic poles constantly move and have flipped numerous times in the past.

What is alarming is the rate at which the poles are currently moving. After centuries of slow movement of the North Magnetic Pole in northern Canada, it has begun to move rather rapidly north from Canada, is now over the Artic Ocean, and heading to Russia where it probably will be before 2100 if these rates keep up. In the last few years, the North Magnetic Pole was rather close to the actual North (Geographic) Pole as it is now heading south to Russia.

=====
Until the early 1990s, the magnetic North Pole was known to lie some 1,000 miles south of true north, in Canada. Yet, as scientists realized, the location of magnetic north was not fixed. Magnetic north was drifting at a rate of up to about 9 miles (15 km) a year. Since the 1990s, however, the drift of Earth’s magnetic north pole has turned into “more of a sprint,” scientists say. Its present speed is about 30 to nearly 40 miles a year (50-60 km a year) toward Siberia.

Yes, the pole flipping can have an effect on our environment a bit as Northrup Grumman explains:

but it is not a factor in global warming as NASA explains:

Anyway, do not be too alarmed.
I'll let National Geographic speak:

Nah, people are just stirring up shit because the USA is falling to pieces, is all.

[DubiousIntentions]

Yes, but this talk was going on even before Covid.

[Surely]

Already occurring!

i used to know about it a lot more back in the day but it wasn't going to happen in my lifetime so i drank those brain cells away

The poles will shift yes, its part of the natural tectonic activity that takes place beneath the earths crust.

Concerning the Nibiru Planet its mere theory.

[Havthrills]

They have been moving for a while. Seems like they're going faster.

[SnowedIn]

I confess that I have read nothing about this but I also think it sounds fake.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Yeah at some point hopefully it causes armageddon

[Guardian45]

Probably. Eventually.

Who the hell cares?

[DubiousIntentions]

You will if it happens. You may wind up fried like a KFC chicken leg.

[Rangers]

I hope I do, and you must live a perfect existence to care about something so trivial

[DubiousIntentions]

Trivial? Wow, your life priorities seem mixed up.
