In a more comprehensive Article from Progress in Physical Geography, Sudden Climate Transitions during Quaternary, Scientists found that `...time span of past few million years has been punctuated by many rapid climate transitions, most of them on time scales of centuries to decades or even less...' and `...Judging by its past behavior under both glacial and interglacial conditions, climate has a tendency to remain quite stable for most of time and then suddenly `flip'; at least sometimes over just a few decades, due to influence of various triggering and feedback mechanisms..."

This, in relation to magnetic pole shifts would inevitably and theoretically explain dramatic climate transitions. Since 1990, surface waters in tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean regions became markedly saltier, while at same time, much of water column in high altitudes of North and South Atlantic Oceans became fresher.

My own theory is as such: Seismological Events = Polar Shifts = Climatic Changes = Global Warming = Sea Level Rise = Continued Seismological Events = etc., etc., etc. In other words, seismological events brought on by nature or manmade contraptions, is beginning of a vicious cycle.

To further fuel debate of greenhouse effects directly attributed by sea level rise, `Glacial Melt Alarms Scientists,' as reported by Terry Rombeck of Journal-World, Prasad Gogineni (Kansas Univ. Researcher) stated, "...I don't think sea-level rise is an immediate concern. You're talking about long term, 50 or 100 years. But assumptions we've made are based on gradual increases over 100 years. What we're seeing are dramatic increases."

Overall, Earth, as we know it is inconceivably changing before our eyes. It is still not too late to make our own transitions in how we proceed with this newfound knowledge. The key to scientific research and global climatic/geological phenomena is that we, as human beings, have inevitable power to implement strategic changes that can ultimately reverse or at least slow effects of our own ability to inhabit this Earthly plane. In so, solution lies within us all. The only difference between mankind's survival and mass-level extinction is whether or not we choose to use solution.
