But if I look all around and see a completely cloud-free sky and someone tells me it will rain in one minute, I will tell them they are wrong. In the same way that clouds are a prerequisite for rain, a low magnetic field strength for the Earth is the prerequisite for a magnetic pole reversal. The field strength will not be sufficiently low for at least several centuries.

In short, I can't point to a calendar and say "pole shift occurs here". I can say "there is no chance of a magnetic pole shift in the near future".

Pole reversals are completely random in nature at the time because no one can solve the Geodynamo problem. As soon as that happens, maybe someone could find a pattern. Until then, leave Pole reversals alone.
