#4 Sunspots. Magnetic effects. Solar wind. Cosmic rays. Clouds. These things affect the climate. Not CO2.

We are seeing changes for the first time since the start of the space age/IGY. These things have happened before but nobody could directly observer them back then. It did get colder though.

#5 I guess we need a magnetic field tax.
That's the only answer.

#6 I was reading about this the other day and the article mentioned that the leak is supposed to increase drastically sometime in 2012.

My first thought was, could this have anything to do with the Mayan calendar conspiracy that claims the world as we know it will come to an end on 12/21/2012? Some have speculated that the Mayan calendar foretells a huge shift in the earth's magnetic field, which could possibly trigger an all out armageddon.

Boy, I sure hope not.

#8 ITT IT TAINT GOD, ITS THE RUSSIANS AND THEIR SPACE ROCKS.

OTOH, 1960's GUAM TAOTAMONAS > A LARGE COMET WILL SLAM/CRASH INTO THE EARTH.... Compare wid 1990's COASTTOCOASTAM CALL-IN VIEWERS' DREAMS OR SELF-PREMONITIONS OF AN ASTEROID OR COMET STRIKING THE NORTH EAST USA = NORTH ATLANTIC SEABOARD AREA [New York-Newfoundland-Nova Scotia]???

God = Nature gave all living things the ability to sense various mortal dangers in advance - the problem for ANTI-GOD SECULARISTS IS THAT "NATURAL SENSES" AREN'T SUPPOSED TO TALK BACK = HAVE CONVERSATIONAL DIATRIBES, ETC. WITH YOU ABOUT FAR FUTURE EVENTS THAT HADN'T OCCURRED YET???

OOOOOOPSIES......

#9 Screw carbon credits, I'm getting into magnetic credits, as the key to a successful Ponzi scheme is to get in early.

#12 A hole in our protective shield goes both ways. I say it's time to kick some people out before they can impurify our magnetic essence and/or precious bodily fluids. Yeah, Kucinich! I'm looking at you.

#14 Light bulbs...who needs em. First thing that runs low in a third-worlder is toilet paper. I've got it covered. Number of rolls on hand is classified, sorry. Stocked up on Castrol 10W40 and filters too. Working on tooth paste, trash bags and hand soap right now.
