Food For Thought: Magnetic pole shift – Poles are drifting faster at 40 km per year.

"Earth’s magnetic poles are not fixed — they are moving, and in recent decades they’ve been drifting faster than expected. But what does that really mean? 

"In this video, we break down: 

• Why the North Magnetic Pole is racing toward Siberia 
• What scientists can and cannot predict about pole movement
• The difference between pole drift, pole wandering, and pole reversal 
• Why airport runways, navigation charts, and compasses quietly change over time 

"And the big question few people ask: how do we actually know the poles stay near the polar regions?

"We’ll look at:

• Modern tracking since the 1800s
• Geological and paleomagnetic evidence going back thousands of years
• What a 'pole shift' really looks like in Earth’s core — and what it doesn’t mean

"This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s about understanding what’s changing, what isn’t, and what often gets oversimplified or ignored. Because the poles are drifting — and the real story is more interesting than the headlines."
