one expects sensationalism out of the National Enquirer, but not from so many of the more (formerly) respected outlets that covered this story. everyone's out for click-bait it seems.

thank you for this correction/clarification

thanks. i must have mis-read recent news articles that stated that the core had reversed its spin and was now spinning in the opposite direction. this implied to me that the field reversal must have already happened in short order and so we would have seen the effects of that weakening here on the surface.

So if the core slows/stops/reverses course then shouldn’t the magnetic field lines of the earth also flip or change in accordance? And if so wouldn’t this transition allow solar wind particles to bombard us in the meantime?

Any correlation with massive volcanic events/climatic changes? The area is well known for that sort of thing extinguishing civilizations
