Could 'Global Warming' be a process triggered off by Geomagnetic Reversal?

Question

The magnetic north pole of the earth is moving away from the geographical north pole of the earth.

For the last 2000 years, the geomagnetic field of the earth has been 'weakening' which affects the 'quality' of the atmosphere also - the less effective the atmosphere at stopping cosmic radiation. Over the last 100 years, the rate at which this process happens has accelerated by four times.

I have read from global warming supporting answers on this site that carbon dioxide affects the level of heat energy in the atmosphere and vice versa. So could Geomagnetic reversal been a catalyst for this reaction?

It would mean that heat energy in the atmosphere will have, as cosmic radiation will be able to get through. This in turn would cause CO2 to increase (or so it's been suggested) and that would cause more heat (as well as from the increasing magnetic reversal) etc

This would mean that humans do affect the atmosphere but at a less drastic level then global warming theory alone suggest

Answer 1

Wow I can't believe I read the whole thing.  I also hate it when anyone says anything about climate change is fact! I guess it could be possible, and I am not looking forward to the effects on everything when it (the pole reversal) does happen...if it happens in our life time.

P.S. Good answer Pappy.

Answer 2

I thought it was a great question and I've heard it only once before.I don't think anyone should be so arrogant to even whisper that something such as pole reversal has nothing to do with climate.Makes you wonder about the mind set if nothing else.I'm not even close to this field so I can't give you any hard data.I think/read the number one reason that they don't consider it a factor is because of the reason you stated....They just don't know a whole lot about it...."among a lot of other things."But they are coming around exponentially.Here's a link that confirms your theory by the way.     http://www.polereversal.com  and I bet more dead heads will come about once they see things as being a whole.

Answer 3

No.  Such magnetic pole reversals do occur--in fact we may be in the early stages o fone (and we actually are overdue.

However, first: there is no correlation between cycles o fnatural global warming and magnetic field reversals. Second, although this does affect the amount of UV light (ultraviolet) reaching the earth, itdoes NOT affect the amount of heat  energy reaching the Earth.  So it doesn't affect temperature.

The causes of the current global warming are already known--it is due to human activity, primarily the release of CO2 by burning fossil fuels. There is no "debate" on this--it is a proven scientific fact.  You shouldn't be confused by the speculations of some crackpots or the stream o foil company propaganda to the contrary.
