The last full reversal took place approximately 780,000 years ago - leaving some experts to predict another flip is imminent.

Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted away from Canada and closer to Siberia at a rapid pace in recent years. Here’s why.

Warming changes wind patterns, which changes cloud patterns, which results in more warming. This is what we call "positive feedback" in the climate system: warming leads to more warming.
