Looking at the two satellite pictures taken back in 1979 and in 2003 for the Arctic, we find a considerable erosion of the Ice Cap. However, upon closer inspection it seems that the melting of the Ice Cap is uneven along its perimeter.
In fact, when you look deeper at the area circled in red, it is clear that the ice is building towards Siberia and is moving away from Canada. At the same time, the strength of the Earth’s magnetic shield has decreased 10 percent over the past 150 years.
During the same period, the south magnetic pole, up in the geographical north, has wandered about 1,100 km (685 miles) into the Arctic Circle. “The rate of the magnetic pole’s movement has increased in the last century compared with fairly steady movement in the previous four centuries”, said Joseph Stoner and the Oregon researchers. The Oregon team examined the sediment records from several Arctic lakes. Looking at the sediment records of the Earth’s magnetic field at the time, scientists used carbon dating to track changes in the magnetic field. They found that the magnetic pole had shifted significantly in the past thousand years. It generally migrated between northern Canada and Siberia, and has occasionally moved in other directions. The rate of shift of the magnetic pole is on the increase and it seemed that in the past decade it had moved a distance close the distance it moved in the past century. Comparing the two phenomena, there seems to be a relation between the location of the magnetic pole and the location of ice building; are both moving towards Siberia in tandem? However, recent increase of global warming rate seems to cause the entire ice to melt in the coming few years.
Upon tracing the magnetic pole ancient movements together with documented climate conditions at ancient times, it is apparent that the closer we come to the magnetic pole, the colder it gets. Arab ancient texts speak of an abrupt climate change in ancient times. The manuscripts come from ancient texts that describe in detail a bitter cold wave that occurred between the years 900 AD and 950 AD in Arabia…
