Galactic Solstice 2012
In the year 2012 the earth reaches an extreme
point
in a cycle of approximately 26,000 years.
The open magnetic field lines at the north pole
of the earth
will be pointing towards the sun,
receiving a peak amount of solar particles.
The sun's 11-year cycle of activity will also
influence earth's weather
more strongly during this time.
Could galactic solstice be contributing to
global warming, the greenhouse effect, and el Nino?

the earth's field will deflect solar wind ions to the right
...the earth’s magnetic field is continually bathed in a hot, magnetized,
supersonic
collisionless plasma capable of conducting electrical current and
carrying a large amount of
kinetic and electrical energy.
Because of the polarity of the earth’s field, [the magnetic force
on a particle] will deflect
solar wind ions to the right and electrons to the left as they
approach the earth.

Open Magnetic Field Lines in the Polar Cap
The geomagnetic field lines in the polar caps are shown in Fig.
1 and 11 as going though the
polar magnetopause as a rotational discontinuity, into the high
latitude magnetosheath, through
the bow shock into the interplanetary medium; this is what is meant
by open field lines.
Maxwell’s equations require that the same amount of open flux appear
at both poles.
