Letter Re: Preparing for Pole Shift?
Mr. Rawles,
I have been trying to find out more about the consequences of a polar shift,
particularly the effects it will have on the Great Lakes Region. I know that
no one really knows what will happen, but everything I've seen points to something
really really bad. If possible could you post what knowledge you may have on
the subject on SurvivalBlog?
Thank you, - Scott from Michigan
JWR Replies: Rapid
pole shift is a little more than an unsupported theory,
touted mainly by the
Art Bell crowd. In my opinion it should be one of the
least of your worries. Even if rapid magnetic pole reversal does happen (and
there
is far
more evidence
that very gradual pole movement is what actually occurs), it might be
a "once in 100,000 years" event. Instead of concentrating on that,
you should get ready for a major economic depression, which is demonstrably
a "once-every-few-generations" event.
And,
BTW, a depression seems
to be
unfolding now, right before our eyes. Also consider what
you'll
need to do to be ready for a
pandemic
influenza. Such pandemics are more likely "once-every-few-generations" events.
