Very educated and point driven blog. I don't know if the increase in natural event's, (ie: the Cyclone, Earthquakes in China and Asia, Tornado's throughout the Midwest and South) is related to this pressure theory or not. But it does sound somewhat plausible.
Look, we know that the deeper into the Ocean an object goes, the more pressure that object feels around it's body. So I agree that the pressure is stronger the closer to the core of the earth we go.
Good blog sir.

Well, our poles are switching as well, something like 11 degrees this last year if I remember correctly, and that might explain some other things like why it seems (at least to me) that our seasons are lagging... winter starts late, and summer as well. But more water in the atmosphere would do that as well... causing a 'lake effect' on a larger scale??? I have always believed that more water in the atmosphere means more volitility, as its a major factor in tropical storms, but I wondered if there was a way to quantify barometric pressure on a worldwide scale, like the evaporation 'scale' that farmers worldwide use (and which has proven 'global dimming'). Some like to argue that more water in the atmosphere is a good thing (part of the global warming debate, that global warming would be a good thing because then deserts would get more rain), but this just isnt the case. I would agree that it makes for more violent storms though, as some scientists argue that the few degrees we have added already are the cause for the dramatic cyclones we get.

But I just thought... wouldnt there be a way to quantify more water in the atmosphere then?

(con't) --pole could swing out of northern Canada into Siberia. If that happens, Alaska could lose its Northern Lights, which occur when charged particles streaming away from the sun interact with different gases in Earth's atmosphere.

The north magnetic pole was first discovered in 1831 and when it was revisited in 1904, explorers found that the pole had moved 31 miles.

For centuries, navigators using compasses had to learn to deal with the difference between magnetic and geographic north. A compass needle points to the north magnetic pole, not the geographic North Pole. For example, a compass reading of north in Oregon is about 17 degrees east of geographic north.

In the study, Stoner examined the sediment record from several Arctic lakes. Since the sediments record the Earth's magnetic field at the time, scientists used carbon dating to track changes in the magnetic field.

They found that the north magnetic field shifted significantly in the last thousand years. It generally migrated between northern Canada and Siberia, but it sometimes moved in other directions, too.
