Without the field we’ll be bombarded with lethal radiation, even if it only weakens we’ll still suffer more radiation getting through and we all know what radiation does to life on earth.
This leaves me wondering whether magnetic pole reversal or a lack of a magnetic shield could be responsible for the many mass extinctions that we know have taken place throughout the earths history.
Does anyone know of any work on this? Is it possible that pole reversal could lead to mass extinction?

Just want to make sure I'm not alive when this decides to go down

Dude, if you're not going to take the time to research these things on your own, you're just going to be swayed by other people's beliefs.
The title is misleading though.

The field has been weakening since Carl Friedrich Gauss measured it around 1836, by about 5% per century, recently accelerating to 7%/century. The total energy of the field however is nearly constant, as shown by the late Ned Benton. This means that the field is not really weakening, only reshuffling its energy, reducing the "main dipole" (=north-south bar-magnet pattern, declining as noted by about 7% per century) and reinforcing the more complicated parts.
These tend to contribute a weaker field, because the magnetism originates in the Earth's core, about half an Earth-radius down: all magnetic fields at the surface are weaker than those in the core, because of the distance, but the more complicated fields decrease faster.
Whether the main dipole will reverse in about 1300 years is anyone's guess. Geological evidence suggests it has happened in the past, but odds are against it, because the mean frequency of such reversals in the past seems to be about once in 500,000 years.
The reasearch of the lava shows that its more like every 200000 years.

There is no pattern to the magnetic reversals. The last one occurred about 780,000 years ago.

In my experiments with a plasma ball and florescent bulb I have found the human biofield em field does have a blocking/redirecting effect taking the emf from hitting the bulb. Applying a similar model effect to a planet with a collapsed missing field I would expect to see a lot more charged particles and the effects they would have via induction and interference would certainly be noticeable.
