She is apparently a psychic and a Reiki master. I bet she has a Phd in awesomeness.

According to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in 1998 something changed the Earth's gravitational field which moved the magnetic poles closer together. The NASA article explained that as the ice on the poles melted, ocean currents moved water toward the equator, which factors researchers believe to be partly responsible, in conjunction with shifts in atmospheric patterns, for this ongoing shift in the Earth's magnetic field.

Okay, I googled "magnetic poleshift reversal."

Apparantly the world is going to end in 2012.

Magnetic fields are effecting my Chi.

I need to buy solar rocks blessed by the the High priestess to center my ying.

The article you sited says it would be a process of 12 to 20 thousand years, which is fast by planetary standards, but nothing life on earth could not adapt to.

The theory states the cause would be massive build-ups in the ice caps, which isn't going on. Er, even if it was, any planet's magnetic field is caused by a liquid center, which we have. Every planet with a liquid center has a magnetic field that we know of. I don't see any shift in the polar ice caps somehow hardening our liquid center.

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, or couldn't happen that the magnetic fields shift. I mean, they've been slowly shifting forever. It's not something that would happen overnight though.

If this is the case then all the Priuses in the world are not going to matter (;

If the magnetic field to drops, the temperature of the planet rises. If it drops to zero, we're screwed.
