Just flip those poles already

Earth's Magnetic Pole Is Wandering, Lurching Toward Siberia. Back in the '90s, i had numerous posts of wild speculation of what would happen if the magnetic poles flipped. Life would be exposed to massive cosmic radiation. Now there's more apocalyptic news every day. This feels quaint. The magnetic flip could be thousands of years away, but with everything accelerating, who knows?

Anyway:

The chief cause of the movement comes from the Earth's liquid-iron outer core, which is also called the "core field." Smaller factors also affect the movement. Those influences include magnetic minerals in the crust and upper mantle (especially for local magnetic fields) and electric currents created by seawater moving through an "ambient magnetic field," according to the 2015 report of the WMM.

Flowing of seawater affects this, eh? How about all of that newly released water in the oceans from melting ice caps and glaciers? Would that be a factor? Just wild speculation.
