Going back a long way you find the geological record shows anomalies like the North pole was apparently near the equator but this is because the continent has drifted away from the Northern position it previously held. For now the correlations are just that, however they do reinforce the paleomagnetic studies that temperature and the magnetic field are linked, so hopefully my contribution has added to the great debate.Radicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916439813761454624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752027331714385066.post-86447655664325084462009-04-03T10:16:00.000-07:002009-04-03T10:16:00.000-07:00The linkages are clearly suggestive, except the ma...The linkages are clearly suggestive, except the magnitudes are such that they are likely buried in the noise.<BR/><BR/>Including CO2, we have several proposed climate drivers, any one of which is small compared to the known two degree oscillation that has been sustained throughout the Holocene.<BR/><BR/>That the magnetic field is likely linked to solar magnetic field variation and thus to sunspot activity and that the correlation stands up is good news.<BR/><BR/>The question then becomes how mush of the temperature signal belongs to this causation?

As such the rise in temperature has been attributed to man made mechanisms. Analysis of the movement of the Earth's magnetic poles over the last 105 years demonstrates strong correlations between the position of the north magnetic, and geomagnetic poles, and both northern hemisphere and global temperatures. Although these correlations are surprising, a statistical analysis shows there is a less than one percent chance they are random, but it is not clear how movements of the poles affect climate. Links between changes in the Earth's magnetic field and climate change, have been proposed previously although the exact mechanism is disputed. These include: The Earth's magnetic field affects the energy transfer rates from the solar wind to the Earth's atmosphere which in turn affects the North Atlantic Oscillation. Movement of the poles changes the geographic distribution of galactic and solar cosmic rays, moving them to particularly climate sensitive areas. Changes in distribution of ultraviolet rays resulting from the movement of the magnetic field, may result in increases in the death rates of carbon sinking oceanic plant life such as phytoplankton.<BR/><BR/>Keywords: MAGNETIC POLES; DRIFT; CLIMATE; COSMIC RAYS<BR/><BR/>Document Type: Research article<BR/><BR/>DOI: 10.1260/095830509787689286Radicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916439813761454624noreply@blogger.com
