Hawk, the magnetic force at the sun is negligible. Gravity works at a distance, magnets don't. That is total conjecture on my part as I have no idea how strong the magnetic field is and what the effect is in relation to other magnetic fields such as whatever the Moon might have, Sol etc. On the other hand, Sol is quite large so maybe it has a magnetic effect on Earth. I should ask Google. It will certainly mess with magnetic navigation if the poles flip! Thank goodness for GPS and inertial navigation - invented just in time to avoid total confusion. It's probably caused by anthropogenic CO2 causing increased deposition of carbonates etc on the ocean floor, and subduction processes are being changed and when the crust ploughs down into Earth's centre, it disrupts the magnetic field. If we pour old iron into the subduction trenches, that might fix it. Or, fill the oceans with microfine organic iron to enhance fish growth, catch the fish, bring them ashore, eat them, and put the waste to land fill. Supertankers going back for another load of oil could fill their tanks with iron solution and spray it out into the oceans on the way back. Mqurice
