It takes rougly 5 acres to feed one person. That counts plant growth and some animals. How are we going to have that much farm land underground or indoors.
A quick switch will cause the least damage and let that damage be repaired quickly. Some damage to the power grid and reprogramming navigation systems, nothing too bad. Or the slow general dying of plant life by radiation and animal life by starvation.
The last time that Earth's poles flipped in a major reversal was about 780,000 years ago, in what scientists call the Brunhes-Matuyama reversal. The fossil record shows no drastic changes in plant or animal life. Deep ocean sediment cores from this period also indicate no changes in glacial activity, based on the amount of oxygen isotopes in the cores. This is also proof that a polarity reversal would not affect the rotation axis of Earth, as the planet's rotation axis tilt has a significant effect on climate and glaciation and any change would be evident in the glacial record.

Magnetic fields always try to align themselves polarly. If those poles are out of line, what happens to that huge energy potential when those poles finally tries to realign itself? Considering the amount of ferrous materials on this planet I would think that there could be a sudden dump of energy from its magnetic potential. Wouldn't that be a kinetic transfer?

When the lights come back on, who knows what we might see. ; )
Scientists understand that Earth's magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia...
... would there be any dramatic effects? The answer, from the geologic and fossil records we have from hundreds of past magnetic polarity reversals, seems to be 'no.'
...The science shows that magnetic pole reversal is – in terms of geologic time scales – a common occurrence that happens gradually over millennia. While the conditions that cause polarity reversals are not entirely predictable – the north pole's movement could subtly change direction, for instance – there is nothing in the millions of years of geologic record to suggest that any of the 2012 doomsday scenarios connected to a pole reversal should be taken seriously. A reversal might, however, be good business for magnetic compass manufacturers.
what if a shutdown of the global power grid is what allows us to see...

Pink auras are a good warning that the sun's radiation is getting through closer to the surface, when everything is digital and when the field gets so far out of whack a good solar event happens it will be like an EMP all the transformers will overload and burn out. Unless they are hardened. No functioning power system for years. During the Carrington event, the platinum morse tappers fused in some places, if we were still in an agrarian world and pre-industrial nothing much would happen. But we are not.

That would need a coordinated effort of the people, right now the only ones doing coordinated actions, are the globalist trash and it's all garnered to divide the people.

I think the weather system rain bands etc have little to do with the geographical pole, the main influencer is the geomagnetic pole. I can't quote any science for it, but its position now just North of Greenland, has brought a great circle of its present position, a sort of slump to the right, which has brought the arctic conditions down more on the east coast of the USA, Warmer drier to the west coast, etc. Wetter Sahara as the rain bands move down. It figures that the particles that seed the rain will align with the magnetic fields. It is a cycle that repeats. The winds should change as well.
