Today, my bother and I were discussing the impending pole-shift which according to many scientists is imminent. Analysis has shown that an event of this type occurs roughly every quarter million years and that at present the Earth's magnetic field is fading fast, suggesting that it's already happening.
Other than having to deal with North becoming South and vice versa, a flipping of the magnetic field could have far more catastrophic effects for mankind, but would it be more dangerous than George Bush? Now there's a question! The magnetic field surrounding the Earth protects us from the radioactive rays emanating from the Sun. Exposure to those rays could at best leave us quite burned, at worst, wipe us out potentially.
So, what can we do about it? Absolutely nothing, that's what! We don't have the technology to deal with a global catastrophe, we can barely deal with localised disasters. Doomsayers will no doubt talk about Nostradamus who prophesied whatever you want him to have, but more significantly the Mayan calendar which predicted the World's end on Sunday, December 23rd 2012. Ah well, all good things come to an end! What am I saying? We've made a right arse of this planet! Maybe next time we'll do better!
