only 612 in the wholes of Wales so Flintshire is definitely above average. Not in the holes of whales?

"100 in five weeks!" SHOCK! That's 20 a week, less than three a day... Over a year after the implementation, even the sheep have figured that one out by now.

COP29 declared unfit for purpose. azerbaijan  .
More accurate would be the UN declared unfit for purpose. When you have the sick joke of russia on the UN security council then the entire UN is just a compromised and infiltrated puppet, none of the organisations are free from influence.
Didn't Trump pull the US out of the UN during his last term ?

I see that the Earth's magnetic field is doing strange things...again. The shift in the N-S alignment had sped up in recent years but has now slowed down with a rate of deceleration not previously observed before. What it presages, if anything, is anyone's guess. But it is generally thought we are "overdue" a pole reversal event.
Amongst the things I have always wished not to experience in my lifetime are:
- A global pandemic due to a novel virus (Tick that box)
- A peer to peer/near peer war in the heart of Europe (tick that box)
- A superpower/emerging superpower conflict in the nuclear era: not yet ticked, but see China/Taiwan and the US/the West
- reversal of the earth's magnetic poles, likely with an substantial period (in human terms) of earth's protective magnetic field being near zero
Anyway, we have 2025 coming up soon, what can possibly go wrong ?

Has our ancestors, Homo sapiens survived any magnetic field flip events?

Has our ancestors, Homo sapiens survived any magnetic field flip events? On average, over the last 83m years, they've been about every 450k, so definitely overdue. The four most recent have taken about 7,000 years each to complete, so I'm not convinced it's something that'll greatly worry my lifetime. The most recent was 780k years ago, about halfway through the time of early Homo Erectus, about the end of Homo Antecessor. Hominids had just about reached China, the first foray out of West Africa. There have been some temporary "excursions", though, where the poles swapped end for a few centuries... the most recent basically yesterday, only 42k years ago - so about the time that Homo Sapiens picked up the cave art crayons for the first time, and also said goodbye to our Neanderthal cousins. It may have contributed to their extinction, likewise the various megafauna that disappeared around the same time.

Many other versions seem to be available, but the odd million years here and there probably not that critical in this case. So near enough as a guide.
