Expert warns of looming mass extinction that risks wiping out humanity
"A space weather expert has issued a dire warning that Earth may be on the brink of a catastrophic geomagnetic disaster capable of wiping out up to 90 percent of humanity. Ben Davidson, founder of Space Weather News, told the Matt Beall Limitless podcast that a rapid magnetic pole shift, potentially triggered by a solar 'micronova,' could unleash tsunamis, climate chaos and mass extinction."
"Earth's magnetic field, our shield against solar and cosmic radiation, has weakened by up to 15 percent since the 1800s, leaving us vulnerable to devastating solar storms. The North and South Magnetic Poles are racing toward a collision in the Bay of Bengal, while auroras, once rare at low latitudes, now appear 15 to 20 times in just a few years, signaling a failing shield."
A theory proposes Earth may be undergoing a geomagnetic cycle capable of producing a rapid pole shift potentially triggered by a solar 'micronova,' with consequences including tsunamis, climate collapse, and mass extinction. The 'micronova' mechanism lacks mainstream scientific support, while the underlying geomagnetic cycle is characterized as robust. The magnetic field has weakened by up to 15 percent since the 1800s, increasing vulnerability to solar storms. The North and South Magnetic Poles are described as moving toward convergence near the Bay of Bengal, with low-latitude auroras occurring far more frequently. Geological records are interpreted to show 6,000–12,000-year cycles and a possible 10–25-year window for a severe event. The 1859 Carrington Event is cited as an example of potential societal impacts.
