Could nuclear waste and toxic chemical waste be contributing to global warming by it's affect on the magnetic pull of Earth?

As with many things, hollyweird overhypes the facts surrounding nuclear waste; In reality, 95% of nuclear waste has low level radioactivity (which dissipates/breaks down in less than 5 years)

the 5% of high level radioactive waste spends about 10 years in a spent fuel pool before being transferred to a dry cask storage facility; the total amount is so insignificant compared to other forms of waste, it's barely even worth mention.
No.
Where did you get this?
@Aikarini ...if they spread out they do less.

And planetary scale is vast.

@Aikarini ? YT rant?

Look up a map of magnetic declination (difference between compass reading if N & true N). Most lines change smoothly.

At the W tip of Lake Superior, the lines are odd. THAT's because of the Mesabi Range...LOTS of Fe. It only locally distorts the field, it has nothing to do with the field's generation afaik.

What's the magnetic pull of earth?

No.

Radioactivity or chemicals cannot affect magnetism; but even if it could the quantity of both classes of materials "we" have created is minuscule on the scale of the planet and its interior workings.

Nor does the Earth's magnetic field affect climate.

Not a theory I've heard. Whilst a significant issue for humanity to deal with I wouldn't think there's sufficient to cause any climatic issues.

Not being a scientist I cannot say for sure but any kind of environmental pollution cannot be anything other than bad. There's no denying that the world's climate is being damaged.
