@butterflybaby75 You may be relieved to know that whatever we may or may not be able to do the climate, we cannot possibly affect the Earth's magnetic field.
It does reverse at times - I can't remember the intervals but I think in millions of years - but the planet's inner workings are far beyond humanity's influence.
We are [i]in[/i] an ice-age, which is a climatic oscillation from warm to cold and back, either still warming from the last cold phase or in fact still emerging from the entire cycle... If the latter you and I can take comfort from knowing we won't be around to see it happen.
