Tampa runway articles agree with Hapgood

The Tampa airport articles in which a runway has to be closed so that compass directional signs need to be revised agree with Charles H. Hapgood‘s book The Path of the Pole. They both say that the magnetic north pole is shifting westward. In the articles, the magnetic north pole is described as shifting westward from northern Canada towards Siberia in Russia.

I’ve heard some people voicing their fears that because the magnetic poles are shifting faster recently, this might represent earth changes connected with prophecies about the end of the world on December 21, 2012. However, since Hapgood’s book was published in the 1970s, before the 2012 furor, and since his book has maps showing actual reversals of the magnetic poles in the past, it appears that pole shift is a normal earth phenomenon.

The Tampa articles describe magnetic pole shift as being associated with a floating molten iron core in the earth’s center.
