Depletion of Earth's Magnetic Field and Why It Could Mean The End Of Humanity
icr.org"This force field deflects solar winds and all kinds of other space radiation away from the Earth. Without it, our atmosphere would slowly be blown away, turning our environment cold and dead, like Mars."
really? ICR on hacker news? i think you might want to post stuff like this somewhere NOT here..
Its almost a perfect example of "what not to post". The "End of humanity" was link-bait (barely mentioned in the article), the magnetic field stuff was pseudo-science, and the argument was once again (surprise) that the earth is less than 10k years old.
