Ok, I've started reading the PDF from your website, I must admit that I've been a bit too busy to work through the equations but so far it seems to be mostly about measuring the earth's magnetic field and manipulating the data. Although it's interesting in it's own right, I don't understand how it is related to climate change.

Someone suggested to me that they thought the lack of ozone above the poles was causing the Earth's magnetic field to short circuit, does this idea make any sense to you? How would you prove/disprove it?

Another idea I heard was that the Earth's core rotates at a higher speed to the outer layer. This puts an increasing strain on the connections between the core and the outer layer, as the strain increases the magnetic field intensity due to the core decreases until it snaps and rejoins again. Again, do you have any comments?

The final thing this reminded me of was a science prgramme on TV a few years ago (I can't remember which one it was, something along the lines of horizon). The programme talked about how the poles of the Earth swapped over every so often and accodring to research we were over due for one of these pole changes. I think it said that such an event could cause serious changes by I don't recall them actually attempting to predict what those changes would be, or linking them to climate change in any way.

As i'm sure you'll have realised these are all concepts explained in relatively layman's terminology so it's all rather vague. I just wondered if any of them were related to your ideas in any way?

If you feel like replying, that would be cool, if not I'll keep looking through your webby as I get time and maybe ask some more intelligent questions later on.
