'Unknown
to most people, and as reported by London’s Independent newspaper, the
magnetic north pole is moving faster than at any time in human history,
threatening everything from the safety of modern transport systems to
the traditional navigation routes of migrating animals.
Scientists say
that magnetic north, which for two centuries has been in the icy
wilderness of Canada, is currently relocating towards Russia at a rate
of about 40 miles a year. The speed of its movement has increased by a
third in the past decade, prompting speculation that the field could be
about to “flip”, causing compasses to invert and point south rather than
north, something that happens between three and seven times every
million years.
Already the phenomenon is causing problems in the field of aviation. Tampa International airport in Florida spent a month last year renaming its three runways, which in common with those at most US airports are identified using numbers that correspond to the direction, in degrees, that they face on a compass. “Everything had to be changed;it was a huge project,” Brenda Geoghagan, a spokeswoman for the airport, said.
RAS scientists in this report further warn that this rapid shifting of the North Pole will increase the destabilization of our Earth’s weather systems which has caused historic droughts to occur world-wide, most importantly in the United States, Mexico-Central America and Brazil’s Amazon forest regions.
Confirming the conclusions reached by RAS scientists, London’s Daily Mail newspaper reported this past week that the evidence for “Planet X” - the mysterious hypothesized planet on the edge of our solar system - has taken a new turn thanks to the mathematics of the noted astronomer Rodney Gomes.'
