The reversal could take hundreds of years, where our planet has no electromagnetic shielding. All of our technology will be toast. I call that bad.

- jlebrech 10y agoI guess you're right. Bad for humans, maybe good enough to reverse some of the damage humans have done.
- fudged71 10y agoI could be mistaken, but I understand that bombarding the earth with radiation will do plenty of damage to other species as well. According to Wikipedia, a pole reversal could lead to vigorous convection leading to widespread volcanism, and that subsequent airborne ash could cause mass extinctions.
