Sorry, I just can't take this guy seriously. The sun's magnetic field
flips every 11 years. Did you notice a cataclysm the last time this happened in 2001? Did the earth's magnetic field flip because of this? The notion that there could be a "major" magnetic field flip vs a "minor" magnetic field flip (which Geryl pulled out of his back pocket when Bill challenged him) doesn't make any sense. 180 degrees is 180 degrees, isn't it?
Contrary to what Geryl says, scientist do have some idea as to why the
earth's magnetic field flips, and it is not driven by external events. There have been hundreds of such flips since the time of the dinosaurs. Major extinction events do not appear to be related to these reversals.
The
earth's magnetic field is currently weakening and further weakening will leave the planet more exposed to radiation from the sun, CMEs, and cosmic rays, but so far it is a slow process (10% in 150 years). A direct hit from a major
CME could cause significant trouble with power distribution systems. One Camelot contact has indicated that power companies are taking this problem seriously.
I think Bill and Kerry made a sensible move when they added a disclaimer to this video.
