Does Earth's magnetic field have any effect at all on the climate? Bueller? Anyone?

Weird thing happening to Earth’s ‘shield’

"Earth’s magnetic field is what allows us to exist. It deflects harmful radiation. It keeps our water and atmosphere in place. But now it’s acting up — and nobody knows why."

This is why we snicker at the AGW Cult
 
Earth's magnetic field shifts constantly. It always has. This local deviation of magnetic north to change over time. That is one reason why aviation charts must be updated regularly and it's an offense to use outdated aviation charts for navigation purposes.

Pretty sure it does. The earths atmosphere is affected by this which coincidentally is where the climate is. What kind of dumb question is this?

And has completely reversed numerous times-
Records indicate that over the last 160 million years, the magnetic pole has reversed its polarity at least several hundred times.

It keeps our water and atmosphere in place.

Off hand, I cannot think of any magnetic component relating to our weather much less our climate that would care if the magnetic north is in Canada or Siberia. And, were we tracking this before 1900 to know the previous pattern? There is no reason to think it couldn't turn around tomorrow and start heading back south again and no reason to it hasn't always been moving around like this or think that it has always been heading in a straight line and will continue into Siberia. If we did, we would have to accept that the mag north was in the United States back during the Dark Ages!

The Earth's core is a semi-molten rotating body that acts as a dynamo generating a magnetic field and is constantly wobbling at least magnetically. Of greater concern is that it doesn't reverse polarity or slow and stop. While it doesn't keep the water and air directly in place, it's total absence would mean unshielded exposure to the deadly solar radiation which would sterilize the surface of the Earth of life in a rather short time. Much later over millions and billions of years the streaming particles might strip away all of the atmosphere and some of the ocean.

What do your non-existent global warming studies show in terms of the estimated contribution of the shift of the magnetic field on Earth's weather and climate. We know you totally discount the Sun, is it the same here? Is it CO2 100% - magnetic field 0%?

So, do any of your sock accounts have even a passing familiarity with science?

I actually did a little hunting just now and came up with THESE:

Not sure I'm ready to sound the alarm bells. If anything, it looks like the mag north has been away from its usual spot for a while and is simply returning. Affect on climate? I don't care. If there is any affect, it would appear to be a normal process in the Earth that is supposed to happen.
 
I believe the largest effect will be experienced by those wearing tin foil hats.

I havent read them. However for you rookies, magnetic north is always changing and fluctuating. Of course it has some effect on our climate. So again what kind of dumb question are you asking? :rolleyes:

Whats a sock account?
 
The AGW Cult 2 Lists

1. Things that have on impact on climate:

The Sun
Earth Magnetic Field
Natural variances
Volcanoes

2. The only thing that has absolute control on the climate

the .0008% increase in CO2 last year

The magnetic field coupled with earths rotation is what drives all weather. The ocean flows, atmospheric winds, etc. When the magnetic field weakens these flows weaken and slow, this can create catastrophic changes in earths climate. Some scientists think it could be what drives ice ages as our sun is what affects the earths field. The suns output is affected by its position in space and that is seen in Milankovitch cycles.
