I think this has more to do with the "global warming issue" than they care to admit.
Hardly. Unless, of course, global warming is magically affecting the planet's molten core...
The Earth's magnetic field is constantly fluctuating, and the magnetic poles are always moving. We're just able to measure it better than in the past.
Earth’s magnetic field could flip within a human lifetime
The discovery comes as new evidence indicates that the intensity of Earth’s magnetic field is decreasing 10 times faster than normal
“What’s incredible is that you go from reverse polarity to a field that is normal with essentially nothing in between, which means it had to have happened very quickly, probably in less than 100 years,” said Renne. “We don’t know whether the next reversal will occur as suddenly as this one did, but we also don’t know that it won’t.”

Maybe we're getting better at finding them, or maybe, just maybe there are suddenly more coming our way.
As the Earth cools from the inside out, the molten outer core is slowly freezing. This is leading the solid inner core to grow at a rate of approximately 1 millimeter per year. However, scientists now find that the inner core might be melting at the same time. "The standard view has been that the inner core is freezing all over and growing out progressively, but it appears that there are regions where the core is actually melting," said researcher Sebastian Rost, a seismologist at the University of Leeds in England. "The net flow of heat from core to mantle ensures that there's still overall freezing of outer core material and it's still growing over time, but by no means is this a uniform process." As the Earth's interior cools, relatively hot and cold matter churns around inside the planet, a process known as convection. The roiling of material in the core, coupled with the spinning of the Earth, is what generates the planet's magnetic field.

I believe that the government has known this for a while. They are not searching for ET, they are looking for a new home because they know what is coming.

When was the sun supposed to go through a more active phase, in relation to a possible earth magnetic reversal?

Okay, so you got me there, but there are other forces that could have have the same effect I.e. a brown dwarf star hiding away somewhere nearby. It is theorised that our solar system is binary and the sun's twin is a brown dwarf - not visible through normal telescopes, only infra red. It is theorised to be on a long ecliptic orbit.
