I'm going to do everyone a favor and post something that was posted by another poster, far, far, more knowledgeable than I.
That way, you can move on to REAL problems. Hey, who needs a job anyway, right?
You can thank me later.
See below:
For the record, exactly how many Inter-Glacial Periods have you witnessed or experienced?
See this....
....that is your Earth, 99.99% of the time.
The other 0.01% of the time it is like it is now.
Anytime your ready for 6 Billion people to freeze and starve to death, just give the word.
I also get the impression you are not familiar with Eccentricity. Here's a nice example:
Earth does not orbit the Sun in a perfectly circular orbit.
Earth is more or less "anchored" at a fixed distance from the Sun on its pseudo-apogee but the pseudo perigee is not a fixed point -- the Earth moves to and fro across a period of about 100,000 years.
And right now, the Earth is about to reach maximum perigee (between December 2012 and January 2013). Once that happens, Earth will begin moving farther away from the Sun and the Earth will very soon (in geologic terms -- not human terms) return to an Ice Age.
Here's a more exaggerated depiction:
Imagine Earth's pseudo-perigee moving between where Mercury is and where Earth is. Like I said, it's exaggerated, but it illustrates the point, namely that when you are closer to a source of heat...
...you get really warm.
And then there's the North Magnetic Pole which is moving about like a mole.
I won't even get into that, because half of it would go over your head and the other half would go way, way over your head.
Suffice to say that UV particles, protons, neutrons, gammas and X-rays are shunted at the North Magnetic Pole and that in part drives weather patterns on Earth.
Since the magnetic pole has moved, guess what?
Those UV particles, protons, neutrons, gammas and X-rays are being shunted to a different location than they were previously.
For all of you who wanted to know the $64,000 Question and why Tornadoes are appearing in places they never appeared before...
.....now you know why.
AND this:
his is "Normal Earth" or how Earth typically is 99.99% of the time:
What part of "Normal Earth" do you not understand?
That has been "Normal Earth" for 23 Million years. Why? Simple, 23 Million years ago, the tectonic plate on which the Panamanian Isthmus rests crashed into the tectonic plate on which Colombia rests.
Before that happened, ocean currents circulated from the South Atlantic through the Gulf of Panama into the South Pacific, and then as the seasons changed, it reversed from the South Pacific through the Gulf of Panama into the South Atlantic.
Once the Gulf was closed off, your weather patterns and the climate permanently changed, because since then, ocean currents from the South Atlantic circulate into the North Atlantic,
instead of into the South Pacific.
That, and several other factors resulted in a cooling of Earth, into partial glacial state, uh, like this:
I'll show that again, because of the lot of you just can't seem to grasp Geology 101, and unless and until you do, I would advise you to refrain from taking any geology course at university level, lest you fail them and ruin your GPA.
AND this:
See that? That is a decent representation of the magnetic fields.
Are you all aware that the geographic location of magnetic north changes over time?
Are you all aware that it has changed a lot recently (in geologic terms)?
See this?

That is your north magnetic pole has it has migrated over the last century or so.
Are you all aware that the Earth is struck every second by non-ionizing UV radiation and by ionizing Gammas, X-Rays, Protons and Neutrons?
Are you all aware that when these particles enter your upper atmosphere, they ionize the gases in your atmosphere, and they do that by knocking orbiting electrons loose from diatomic Oxygen, diatomic Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and other gases, plus water molecules?
Are you aware that this ionization creates the "ionosphere," a region that encompasses part of the Stratosphere and Mesosphere?
Are you aware that this ionization interferes with electromagnetic radiation in certain bands, namely the short wave bands and the AM Radio band? And that it also degrades the performance of FM Radio, UHF/VHF and long wave radio bands?
Are you aware that those particles that still have sufficient energy and have not been scattered or reflected back into space then continue until they interact with the Ozone Layer?
Are you aware that those particles that still have sufficient energy and have not been scattered or reflected back into space will then interact with Earth?
You see, that is what heats your Earth -- the energy from those particles.
I don't want to mislead anyone, so I'll say that the bulk or vast overwhelming majority of those particles are non-ionizing UV radiation (that's why you get a sun-tan or sun-burn). The remainder of those particles, the ionizing radiation consisting of gammas, X-rays, protons and neutrons make up the solar component of the Natural Background Radiation that exists on Earth (the terrestrial component being ionizing particles from the decay of radio-isotopes in the Earth's crust and those in your home --- like the Radon in you basement, and all of the polonium and radioactive potassium and such in your paint, your counter tops, your furniture, your masonry, your coffee etc etc etc. That is much more dangerous than the Funkymama reactors in Japan, but most of you don't understand that, or insist upon being willfully ignorant and you run around like a raped ape whenever you hear "radiation."
Occasionally, the Sun will kick off a larger number of particles that wreck havoc with your communications systems.
And infrequently, the Sun will kick off a massive X-ray storm also accompanied by a massive proton storm, just like in 1859 when the Carrington Event occurred.
Such an event will happen again, and when it does, you'll be in the Stone Age and 300 Million out of 312 Million Americans will be dead within 1 year.
You should put that into perspective with your global warming nonsense.
Anyway, the exact location of the magnetic north pole determines where those particles are reflected, scattered and shunted on Earth, and that is to the greatest extent what drives your weather.
Maybe that's a better graphic representation.
The location of magnetic north affects the levels of energy in the atmosphere which in turn affects your weather and epsecially the jet streams:
This one is probably the best representation.
