I found this article rather interesting.
I remember when scientists debunked Edgar Cayce as a fraud when he claaimed the earth would shift on it's axis for a third time. Scientists didn't believe at the time that the earth had EVER shifted on its axis!
Scientific doom porn has to be the worst!
1,000 years covers a pretty broad area. I'm betting when the New Age circuit reads this, somebody will 'channel' a more specific date, with plenty of details! I really like the last picture on the site! It's beautiful!

The US space agency confirmed fears that we may be heading towards an extraordinary event, which would see compasses point SOUTH if the magnetic poles shift.
Climate researchers believe we are heading towards a reversal of the planet's magnetic field, an event that has happened before and has been attributed to wiping out the Neanderthal species.
Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator at the University of Colorado, Boulder, said when the switch does take place, the Earth's magnetic field which prevents the Sun's dangerous radiation getting through, would be neutralised for around 200 years.
He revealed the detail during an historic announcement about how Mars lost 99% of its atmosphere and its oceans that could have housed early life.He said: "When the polar shift happens the Earth will have no magnetic field for about 200 years."
During that time the Sun's solar blasts are expected to strip away at our atmosphere as they did on Mars billions of years ago.
But he thankfully added that 200 years would not be long enough for the Sun to significantly reduce the atmosphere for life to die out.

Without a magnetic field, or with a significantly reduced one it could destroy global communications facilities, power supplies, and even lead to fires and rioting on the streets, according to some researchers.Alan Thompson, head of geomagnetism at the British Geological Survey, said during previous flips: "no worldwide shifting of continents or other planet-wide disasters occurred, as geoscientists can testify to from fossil and other records."
Earthquakes aside, there is a scientific belief that as we head towards a reversal - which could be less than 1,000 years away, Earth's magnetic field will dangerously weaken leaving us at the mercy of solar storms when radiation and X-rays are ejected from the Sun towards our planet.
