Wild hypothesis: Could the present mindless perseveration (jammed thought streams) in human behavior be another side-effect of the same magnetosphere formation? Ocean currents and clouds are partly shaped by bacteria, who are definitely magnetotropic. Our behavior is also partly shaped by our internal bacteria. The magnetosphere is weakening in most places and concentrating in a few spots, probably in preparation for a pole reversal. A persistent maximum over North America has weakened over the last century. Note especially this graph (Fig 2) showing that the magnetosphere's strength was rising and falling regularly on a AHEM!!!!! 33-year cycle, until 1974 when it switched to a much faster and weaker alternation.

Suggested experiment: Magnet Dragnet. The next time a Hot Blob forms in the Pacific, like the blob that gave us a superhot summer in 2015, try repolarizing the field. Trawl a BIG magnet back and forth over and through the blob, to give the bacteria a different motivation.
Similarly with clouds, which are largely nucleated by bacteria.

Bit later: Checked to see if other experiments verified. Sure enough, bacteria will follow a magnet like the Pied Piper.Labels: Carbon Cult
