They don't cause extinction level events when it happens

Quoting the linked site "Fortunately, there�s no evidence in the fossil record of a magnetic field switch causing a species to die out."

Read the sentence directly beforethe one you quote. -- nm - mara Mar 14, 12:43 1
- Solar radiation could be a problem. But moving to higher ground (like the preppers advocate) wouldn't help. - ceregon Mar 14, 12:49
"I talked to two geography professors and one disaster prep expert... and not only is a polar shift pretty much impossible..." -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 14, 12:43 3
- Magnetic sure. But that doesn't merit prepping. -- nm - ceregon Mar 14, 12:47 2
  - what everyone is attempting to explain is the part where you said that it happening is impossible, is in fact not impossible and a known phenomenon. -- nm - TFox Mar 14, 13:06
  - You're arguing A&B (now) while we're only saying A is realistic. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 12:48
i missed where this thread was talking about extinction i guess. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 12:43 4
- where its in the context of doomsday preppers -- nm - ceregon Mar 14, 12:44 3
  - They are not necessarily prepping for there to be no people left. More like no society. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 14, 12:47
  - okay. but you can't pretend that this conversation now is about whether a polar shift is possible. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 12:46 1
    - er, that this ISN'T about... -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 12:46
