magnetism is energy...energy can manipulate matter....matter is clouds, rain, and anything that has mass. given that point, a shift in the magnetic pole will have some reaction, probably affecting weather...the Tonga Tonga earthquake shifted the earth's axis...there are so many dynamic occurrences we'll just have to wait and see what happens. right now, the sun is going nuts and throwing solar flares toward the earth." " NASA scientists using data from the Indonesian earthquake calculated it affected Earth's rotation, decreased the length of the day, slightly changed the planet's shape, and shifted the North Pole by centimeters" It's crazy what is happening all the time.
