If there is a magnetic pole shift, I.e., a reversal of positive and negative polarity... All of the worlds electricity grids would malfunction. Like one giant trip of the breaker. IMHO, it would cause more devastation than merely an altered state of consciousness.
Geoligist Gregg Braden has stated that the earths magnetic field has dropped 38% in the last 2000 years and that this rate of decline has risen to an average of 6% per year over the last centuary. This strongly suggests that the magnetic field is dropping at an accelerated rate towards zero point at which the polarity of the earth will reverse.

AHH HA!
There in lies my problem Havoc, thanks for pointing it out to me.
It would seem that amid my endless questioning of this type of event I have obviously misunderstood that there is a CLEAR difference between (POLE SHIFT) and (CRUST SHIFT)........Thank you!
Now that it is too damn late to edit my title, I'm mildly screwed; however if anyone else happens to read as far as this post, please let it be known that I want to replace the idea of "pole shift", with that of "Crust shift", or "Crustal displacement".
Now as far as pole shifts knocking out power...that sucks but then again how is it all that big of a deal? Yeah I'm aware that it kinda SH***y for those on life support and the lovers of video games and air conditioning, but beyond that I don't see the big deal. Wow that was kind of cold hearted of me,...My bad, I mean hungry man microwave dinners aren't all that bad so I guess I'm up the creek as well.
OK ok...Now what is the effects on us during a Crustal shift? Are we screwed, can we make it, is it fast or is it slow, and what are the odds of it happening? Are we overdo, or am I still confusing the two shifts again?
The two main causes of large scale atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).
Given that a change in the geomagnetic field of just twenty 'nanoTeslas'(nT) is enough to trigger epilectic seizures,...

A real quick question for the smart guys of the ATS-2012, Pole shift Camp.
I have tried to do some research on pole shift and its impact globally beyond the obvious, but I seem to keep running into conflicting ideas on the issue.
I was just reading this thread by "CUin2013?":
www.abovetopsecret.com...
It is good but it doesn’t really answer the questions I am looking for then again maybe I should keep reading a little further.
My questions are:
(1) Is a pole shift something that really happens over a span of a few years only, and if so, does that mean that it is less violent than how Hollywood has portrayed it in the recent movie 2012?
(2) If it is violent, is it on the order of magnitude of say an (extinction level event), or is it merely something that for the most part makes life a pain in the ass for a few decades?
(3) Speaking of violence what are we looking at, assuming this takes place in the very near future; Earthquakes, Tsunamis, volcanoes on a scale never before witnessed in human history; or simply a steady rise in tectonic activity for a decade or so while the earth shifts?
(4) Finally is it not something that people can easily survive through by moving from areas of colder to warmer climate, sort of like a global treadmill where as the world shifts people just move along the surface over a few years?
Maybe Im not getting it, but from my perspective it just seems like something that can be dealt with by society. That in no way means a billions would not die, I simply mean that people would just have to focus on “going with the flow” so to speak. I figured the worst people would need to avoid while traveling with the earths movement are things like, newly formed lava fields, and possibly volcanic ash. At the rate of movement described I don’t see to many mega tsunamis happening on the scale of Hollywood if at all. For one the earth movement may be to slow to jostle the oceans out of the basins, though I can see underwater landslides causing a problem. Perhaps waves reaching at most a few hundred feet only.
I don’t know…Set me right if I’m mistaken and please forgive my ignorance on the subject, I’m only asking because it seems many in ATS are better at explaining such events than many of the websites I have visited.
If you can suffer me long enough to answer those few questions, I think it would do wonders to enlighten me. Also A few very informative links would be great as well.
Thanks again in advance.
