And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Position of the north magnetic pole since 1590. At least it's converging with the actual pole, and not wandering off into Canada.
Hear, hear!. Show us the plot actually observed from '07-present (which is known to a metaphysical certainty), and compare it with the "model", so we can see how wrong they guessed.
Your compass always follows 'magnetic' north. Because magnetic north is wandering *closer* to true north - your compass is actually becoming *more* accurate - for now, at least. Accounting for the difference is known as 'declination', and varies a bit depending upon where you are.
The primary difference is 'speed of occurrence'. If it wanders far enough - the effect is basically the same. Also be aware that it's speed of 'wander' may not stay consistent either.
The declination for Central U.S.A. looks to be consistent (because Magnetic North is moving directly away from them), but can you imagine the headache for Europeans, having to update their correction so often, or risk being way off?
I find it hard to believe that it has not been physically plotted since 2007.

DeleteSo what does that do to my compass

DeleteDoes this mean the world is tipping? Seems to me that England is shifting towards a warmer clime.
ReplyDeleteIt has been physically tracked since '07 and appears to be headed into Asiatic Russia. Eyeballing the plots, 2020 looked like about 87 N and 160E.
ReplyDeleteThe world isn't tipping, the magnetic pole wandering is independent of the geographic pole, which is axis the Earth rotates around.
This looks nothing like the geomagnetic reversal we were promised by "scientists".

DeleteGonna have to start calibrating my compass.
