There is confusion here between a magnetic shift and a pole shift. Nothing much will happen when the magnetic shift occurs other then a reversal from N to S, to S to N, but if a pole shift happens and it's not controlled as I say it will be, then nothing will survive it as the earth spins quickly to a 90 degrees shift or more. Not to worry. Things are intended to work out just fine, so look forward to a better world coming, not the end of the planet. The poles shifting is what is reducing our magnetic protection, once the poles shift our planet will go back to normal. The poles shifting takes thousands of years, not rapidly, unless there is outer space interference, like (Nibiru)/planet x
