NASA is growing concerned as a massive anomaly spreads across Earth, scientists believe it’s linked to deep Earth forces.
As reviewed by Jeff Childers this morning – see 1st comment attached.
At the heart of the US space agency’s concerns is a geomagnetic phenomenon that is as fascinating as it is worrying: the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This immense region is characterised by a significantly reduced magnetic intensity compared with the surrounding areas. Far from being a mere scientific curiosity, this weakness acts like a breach in our natural protective shield, allowing high-energy solar particles to come dangerously close to the Earth’s surface.

In a wildly underreported Space Story, the Farmingdale Observer ran an article yesterday headlined, “NASA is growing concerned as a massive anomaly spreads across Earth, scientists believe it’s linked to deep Earth forces.” They always know everything there is to know about how manmade carbon affects the planet, but they are baffled by whatever’s causing this.
In short, the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a blob-shaped territory up in the farthest reaches of the atmosphere, even above the International Space Station. It is a small continent-sized region where the Earth’s magnetic field is unusually weak (and getting weaker), allowing charged solar particles to dip closer and closer to the Earth. The SAA is a chink in Earth’s magnetic armor, already exposing satellites and spacecraft to higher radiation.
It hovers over South America and the South Atlantic Ocean— but it is slowly growing, dividing in two, and drifting northwest.
When I say slowly growing, I mean slowly from a human perspective. In geologic terms, it’s expanding faster than an amorous jackrabbit locked in a grain shed. And it’s unprecedented. Scientists guess the last time anything like this may have happened was at least 11 million years ago. Maybe.
The article eagerly assured readers everything is fine, no need to panic, and especially that there is no evidence this signals a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic pole. But their eagerness to discount that one possibility sort of gave away the game.
Scientists believe that historic shifts in the Earth’s molten core are causing the anomaly— but that doesn’t explain what is causing the core to shift. A shifting core is exactly what might happen if a pole shift were underway. What else could cause the planet’s molten core to surge around like a washing machine that drank too much Strawberry Ripple? SUVs?
All we know for sure is that, while the SAA is growing and drifting, the Earth’s poles are also practically sprinting out of their positions. Smithsonian Magazine, headline from January:

Yet, for some frustrating reason, scientists not only refuse to connect the dots, they won’t even talk about the dots.
For all their constant chattering about “following the science,” the climate priesthood goes curiously silent when it comes to the implications of geomagnetic field weakening, pole excursions, or the growing South Atlantic Anomaly. Why?
Maybe it’s because admitting that deep-Earth forces —like shifts in the magnetic field that affect solar particle influx, cloud formation, and cosmic ray penetration— might influence climate would complicate their death grip on the cash-flowing narrative that manmade carbon dioxide is the only climate variable that matters.
After all, you can’t slap a carbon tax on the Earth’s inner core. Nor can you sell indulgences for cosmic rays. So they pretend like these historic, unprecedented, planet-shaping forces are irrelevant— because there’s no money in it. And that means there’s no money in studying it, either.
But … should we be paying more attention? Ignoring a wobbling magnetic field and a growing radiation hole over the South Atlantic is like insisting there’s no dragon outside the gates because it’s festival day and the shops need to stay open.
