Comment on We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth.

  The magnetosphere has been weakening in strength due to the ongoing pole shift over the past 30 years, which will peak in the 2040s. I pray there will be no coronal mass elections in the direction of earth during the pole shift, otherwise most of unshielded electric equipment will get fried, including infrastructure.

    No way. Is that really happening? The magnetic poles are flipping the 2040s? How often does that happen? Old compasses won’t be correct? Will it affect anything else (Aurora Borealis?, etc?)

    I’m plumb flummoxed.

      Aurora Borealis will be more visible because of the weakened magnetosphere. Poles flip about every 11,000 years, but I don’t know what implications this will have on the world in practice.
