Hi, I keep coming across news articles about a ''geomagnetic reversal''. Most news sites that talk about this (including science based news sites) say this will cause all life on Earth to be fried, and the Earth will become uninhabitable like Mars.

I was wondering if you could debunk this? Is this some conspiracy type of thing that's getting out of hand?

Dozens of geomagnetic reversals are recorded in our rocks. None are associated with any significant extinction event. Why would the next one be any different?
The article you linked does not even intimate that "...this will cause all life on Earth to be fried, and the Earth will become uninhabitable like Mars.".
If Koolaid bothers you, stop drinking it.

For many it would be the end. The purpose of life would be taken from them.

The good news is that, since aluminium (atomic symbol Al, atomic number 13) is paramagnetic, tinfoil hats will continue to function normally throughout the reversal episode. I consulted a physicist, my friend Eddie Courant, to verify this.

Flights bound for New York will end up in Sidney. Pennsylvania and New York will secede from the Union. When things "go South" they'll actually get better. Little Rock will be the burgeoning center of edgy performance art.

What about the effect on our moral compass?
Does a 69 become a 96?
Are Australians to live up over?
If East becomes West, is chop suey then American Chinese food or Chinese American food?
What about the middle east, is it now the mid-west? Will that mean more or fewer guns in Ohio?

Don't worry. Jesus will return and save us all.
I have NO BELIEF in the existence of a God or gods. I do not have to offer evidence nor do I have to determine absence of evidence because I do not ASSERT that a God does or does not or gods do or do not exist.

Evidence that Jesus is a cat. He has way too many lives for a human.
