69. I have a science degree.
I majored in math, minored in physics, and I keep up. I subscribe to Scientific American and Discover and actually read them.

I suggest that you get a genuine scientific education.

Reversing the rotation of the earth would require reversing all of the momentum of the earth with all of the associated kinetic energy and humanity doesn't have the ability throw that kind of energy around.

The earth's magnetic field is caused by forces deep withing the earth's iron core. We have not been able to effect that.

A kid with a BB gun has a better chance of stopping a fast 300 car freight train than humanity has of doing the things you are becoming hysterical about.

I am not in denial. I am scientifically educated.

Take a deep breath and calm down. The world will still be here for hundreds of millions of years, and it will still rotate in the same direction. It is impossible to change that. Even life will be here. There are some things that are bigger than humanity.

Oh yes, about those hurricanes. The globe has about the same number of cyclonic coriolis storms every year. Sometimes there are more in the Pacific, sometimes more in the Atlantic, but the same total energy each year.
