Earth's Magnetic Pole Moving 64 KM Per Year Towards Russia

[Pianoman]

Hi All,

The speed at which the north magnetic pole is traversing is becoming more noticeable. Latest news from national geographic suggest the movement is 64Km per year in the direction of Russia (I'm sure the Dick Cheney will blame them for steal the pole from North America)

Here's the hews release:-

Have there been any predictions made here that would account for this increased rate of movement?

Thanks,

Apologies for the bad spelling /grammar on the post above - serves me right for staying up way too late with nothing better to do

Yes. Sarah Palin stated that it can no longer be seen from her state.

Do the helical currents flowing from the anode to the cathode in a novelty plasma ball hold still, or do they meander around all over inside the sphere?

Unless induced to sit still (by putting your fingertip on the outside of the sphere) they wander around a bit- I imagine it is the same way with larger current pairs feeding into the planetary poles... and even the Sun's plasmasphere as well! However, our race probably hasn't been around long enough to see those pairs wander very much. Even as it stands, they are calling them 'local fluff' thinking them nothing but clouds, vs. seeing them for what they are (or so I believe, anyway.)

If you do not think of the north magnetic pole as the 'north end' of a bar magnet, and rather think of it as the point of highest focus density of the north end of the Earth's EM field... it starts to make sense that it will wander around a bit at that point, doesn't it?

That's the way I see it, at any rate

Pianoman,
I would like to suggest this as a tentative solution which would fit with EU theory. Let's say the mainsream is wrong once again, and it is'nt the Earth's core responsible for Earth's magnetic field. Let us suppose that the Earth is charged, and then spinning alone would generate a magnetic field. At first, you may counter that a spinning,charged Earth should have a magnetic pole lined up with it's spin axis. But thaty is only true if the fixed land mass holds all the charge. If the oceans are charged, then the circulation of the oceans represent a current flow that also generates a magnetic field. Now while the ocean currents are driven in a large part by the Earth's spin, the shape of the continents stop ocean currents from being symmetrical with respect to Earth's spinaxis. So Earth's magnetic pole would not be lined up with the spin axis.
You have probably read how the polar ice caps melting have changed the flow of the ocean currents, and that that change of ocean currents is accelerating quickly in recent times. We would therefore have a mechanism which would cause an increasing rate of magnetic pole wander.

I have started a new thread viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2930&p=31514 which deals with the topic of planetary alignments affecting sunspot cycles. It also raises the possibility of calculating Earth magnetic field reversals, which is closely aligned to the issue of this thread.

For the record the Polar Ice cap has grown the last four years in a row.
Global Warming is a Fraud of course.

Looks like someone already thinks oceans affect magnetic fields. I'm impressed it was done by someone not even into EU theory. (doesn't even consider net ocean charge) I'm even more convinced now that there is some merit to the idea.

the atmospheric ocean as well, chemically, atomically, earth is a huge spin-battery

the dielectric has incredible influence

Here is an explanation of the Earth's magnetic field. What, if anything, is wrong with it? Is it that charge on the Earth is hard to measure due to lack of a handy reference?
