There was a TV documentary regarding the possibility of a magnetic pole
reversal and its effects on either PBS or the Discovery Channel about a year
ago. There's proof of fluctuations, but no proof that a true reversal is
happening... but it was agreed the earth is well overdue for one.

It is a scientific fact recently discovered, that the earth's magnetic
field is steadilly weakening. They think it is because the polarity of the
field is changing: they call it a "reversal".
