Geomagnetic Reversal and Migratory Species

Due to the increasing geomagnetic transitional period as described above, magnetic ley-lines are reorienting into various and unpredictable north-south east-west zones. For migrating species, the problem appears to be worsening, causing great concern to biologists and zoologist. Increasing numbers of whales and dolphins are also getting disoriented to the point where they get stranded in shallows. Mammals that have been rescued and directed back to sea are found stranded once again, sometimes on the same beach, as if being guided.

It is now known that migrant species such as birds, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, several fish species such as salmon and trout, possess a mineral called magnetite. Experiments in a controlled environment have definitively proven the existence of an internal compass. Species that rely on Earth's magnetic field are expected to go through a period of chaos of which many species may not survive.

Scientific records from deep sea core samples which include "faunal", suggest historical geomagnetic reversals appear to co-exist with period extinctions. Today, as the chaotic shifting of the geomagnetic field increases, disorientation among these creatures is escalating at an alarming pace.

Those who live on the west coast recognize that whole flocks are migrating to certain death instead of a life of relative ease in southern climes. And it's not just birds. According to one documentary, the famous Monarch butterfly that heads to Mexico for winter, are now overflying the Gulf of Mexico and getting lost, threatening a whole species as they tend to fly and cluster in a small region. Increasing numbers of whales and dolphins are also getting disoriented to the point where they get stranded in shallows.

Flocks of migrating birds fly in unusual patterns that are uncharacteristic of migration. It's as if they have lost their sense of direction; and indeed, they have. Instead of heading south, they head east and we imagine that in other regions, they are heading west and even north when they should all be headed south for the winter.

For species that need to be heading south for the winter, any other direction is a fatal error. For the Arctic tern that likes the northern most climes, when the summer comes, it flies straight to Antarctica, almost half way around the world. It flies over vast stretches of unmarked ocean in all kinds of weather. They used to be able to do it night and day. Now we hear that they are showing up in places that have never seen them. As they cannot find their favourite food in the new locations, they starve.

There is another impact that geomagnetic reversal has and that is all the holes that are popping up, allowing radiation from space to reach the Earth's surface. These holes are no longer confined to the traditional location of the past magnetic poles, but develop over various regions of the Earth as the Earth's chaotic magnetic field reorientates. Animals living within one of these holes may see aurora, but the more dangerous side of this, is the exposure to ionizing radiation from the Sun and cosmos.

Increasing incidences of cataracts and cancer are showing up across the species. Though magnetic holes don't affect migratory species directly, some may wind up in the middle of one of these, like the Arctic tern that thinks it is in Antarctica, when in reality it may be in the middle of the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Brazil, where in fact a large magnetic hole has emerged. The large numbers of birds find no land except for a small handful of volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and none of them are suitable nesting grounds for the Arctic tern. Nor will they find the food they need. In addition, they will be exposed to ionizing radiation.

Migratory animals are in serious trouble. The slow rate at which the magnetic reversal is occurring almost certainly guarantees their extinction, unless they can go through an ongoing chaotic shifting of the poles for the full extent of time that it takes, which by some estimates, will take hundreds, if not thousands of years to stabilize. This is far longer than any living species can cope with and seals the fate of many to complete extinction. There is not a thing that we can do about it except to preserve the genome or raise all of them in captivity against the day when the geomagnetic field is stabilized. That can take as long as the observed weakening has been monitored, which we can trace from records in ship's logs going back into the mid 19th century.

Added to this confusion is the changing of the Earth itself as tectonic plates begin to move in different directions and at different speeds, such as the speed up of the African rift in recent years. The slow moving rift in Africa has taken off at an unprecedented speed of 28 feet in a single year. Earthquakes in New Zealand suggest big changes are beginning to manifest there. Many people there report a sulphur taste in well water and sulphur smells in the air in vast regions centered on Christchurch.

Earthquake storms have been recorded in the central US. New volcanoes are being born, at least two undersea volcanoes are recorded for the Pacific Ocean that are now breaching the sea surface. These are all symptoms of changes deep within the Earth. As changes accelerate, there may be catastrophic land collapses and sudden upward thrusts in other regions. These too will affect species by confusing them further. The last part is hypothetical, but given what we have seen lately; a possibility.

We are now witnessing unusual phenomena in regard to many species on the planet. Coupled with confused migrations is a rising incidence of mass animal suicides and we wonder if the two are connected. With the disappearance of some species will come the emergence of new ones hitherto-fore not seen. These events will fuel plenty of speculation concerning evolution versus creationism. We see that over the next period, there will be great changes as the Earth goes through its geomagnetic reversal and causes sudden changes to the ecosystem on the surface and presents a huge challenge to all life.

Will the geomagnetic reversal also cause a physical reorientation of the whole planet? We doubt it, but with tectonic plates now adjusting in unpredictable ways, it is only a matter of geologic time where all the landforms will themselves migrate to new locations.
