stock here: I watched a NOAA recorded livecast, in which they took questions from vetted “media”. It was during the huge solar events of the last week. Not a single presenter or questioner brought up the salient issue of….what do these huge X class flares mean in the context of our weakened magnetic field. And how come the X1.8 had a much stronger effect than the combined X7 and X9?
The article from “The Watchers” misses the mark. They pretend that the only dangers of a magnetic weakening are increased cosmic rays, which would be a pretty steady danger for mutations and general malaise. But compared to the increased impact from a sun generated CME those effects would be minor.
They also take the party line of reversals being extremely rare, like millions of years or at least hundreds of thousands, and that the reversal itself would take millions of years, or hundreds of thousands. It appears from observation that a reversal or extreme excursion could happen in several human generation.
A study in Nature Communications shows that previous changes in the magnetic field can move about 1 degree per year, and the Laschamp showed 2.5 degrees per year. This also featured on The Watchers
