The two northern poles with Siberia winning the tug of war I have also read. As far as the pole flip incinerating the earth it would take a big CME from our loving sun to fry the day side of the planet if the magnetic field could not repeal the shock wave and there are people wondering if that is our destiny as a species.. However, the pole flip has happened before and there are plenty of critters and us still alive.. The newest thingy/theory I have heard about is a sun can ever so often produce a micro nova event; call it a super CME where the sun sheds a large part of its' corona.. If that happens I would bet there will be many less critters and us to talk about it.. .

No, your questions were condescending. I'm out. Sorry, op didn't mean to get off topic.

It is true and I only want to inform those who would like to take care of things they have been putting off this could happen tommorow,I think the public should be given the chance to make that choice

No. A singlet magnet is a new kind of magnet (something that has been theorized for decades), not a new kind of magnetism. And it really has nothing to do with Earth's magnetic field.
It is a new type of magnetism in the way it is formed.
Unless Earth's magnetic field is produced by exotic materials like a compound of uranium and antimony, of course.
It is speculated that it plays no role in earths magnetic field.
No, it isn't. The magnetism is the same force.
Climate Change Is Moving the North Pole
As ice melts and aquifers are drained, Earth's distribution of mass is changing—and with it the position of the planet's spin axis.
Schmidt, who was not affiliated with the study, agrees that human activity has caused "detectable shifts in mass from ice sheet melt and groundwater extraction."

So according to National Geographic this is the result of climate change
Earth turns around an axis like a giant spinning top. The places where that invisible axis intersects with the planet's surface are the north and south rotational poles. Due to Earth's wobble on its axis, these spots drift in roughly decade-long cycles. (All this motion is a completely separate mechanism from the behavior of the planet's magnetic poles, which also reverse periodically over the course of millions of years.)
