Is a Pole Shift Imminent?

This article claims to be scientifically based. It examines NASA evidence, as well as other scientists, and comes to the conclusion that a magnetic (not physical) pole shift is imminent. Then, it asks questions about what to expect:

If trends can be used as parameters, scientists believe that we are fast approaching another magnetic pole shift, but not a pole shift in which the North or South Poles will switch locations with other continents on the Earth.

Global disruption in the way things go on Earth may also happen. Migratory animals and birds, both in the seas and on land, may experience disorientation. Our planet, itself, may be stripped off the protective field that shield us from destructive cosmic rays and planetary bodies. And if the crust of the our planet is displaced, scientists fear that we would plunge into the oceans. Entire cities, particularly those that lie in the coastal areas, may leave no trace of their existence on earth save for the remnants that are buried in the sea. Even the very existence of our civilization may hang by a thread. Our civilization could be likened with the lost city of Atlantis, engulfed by the seas, and forever lost.

Polar Reversal NASA – Pole Shift and Magnetic Pole Reversal

I found this a bit unsettling. I already knew that the magnetic poles were shifting and I also knew that the study of the magnetic field of rocks has shown that the earth’s magnetic poles have shifted numerous times in the past.

However, it didn’t occur to me to think that there might be consequences such as, according to this article, the possibility of the migration of birds and butterflies being sent off kilter or that the earth might be stripped of its “protective shield,” whatever that means.
