Have any of you guys noticed that weather patterns have been very unusual as of late. This entire summer, out at the Badlands, we had a whole one week of seering heat in the 120s. Usually heat levels that high make up the whole of July and August. But for some reason, its been increasingly stormy around here. Very strange.
A few people are attributing this strange weather change to a polar shift, which is basically a time when North and South Pole flip flop. It's been recorded in the geologic record as happening regularly, so its a very real possibility, but think of what would happen if they did flip. There would probably be some sort of global Electro-Magnetic Pulse that would destroy all electronics. Compasses would flip flop and even if there wasn't an EMP, plane navigational systems wouldn't function correctly anymore.
Or, this could all be wild speculation by me and others. I'll let you decide. I was mostly curious to see if you guys have heard anything about this yourselves, or if this is something that's going around the scientific circles only right now.
