This is the new major quote that should be noted (as compared to the previous official press release article from the 19th)
“When a similar phenomenon occurred about 300 years ago, the Earth’s average temperature fell slightly.”
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/science/T120420005829.htm
Solar poles to become quadrupolar in May
The Yomiuri Shimbun
Magnetic field polarity at the solar poles will reverse and become quadrupolar in May, meaning positive fields will emerge in the North and South poles and negative fields will emerge on the equator, according to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and other institutes.
When a similar phenomenon occurred about 300 years ago, the Earth’s average temperature fell slightly.
A research team led by Saku Tsuneta, a professor at the observatory, analyzed solar magnetic fields data using Hinode, an observational satellite, and confirmed that the polarity of the magnetic field at the North Pole began to reverse in July last year.
The researchers also found the magnetic field at the South Pole, which was expected to reverse along with the North Pole, maintained a positive polarity, ensuring the formation of a quadrupole magnetic field.
The cause behind the shifts in polar fields is not understood. However, it is known that the shifts coincide with the increase and decrease in the number of sunspots over an about 11-year cycle.
The current sunspot cycle has stretched for close to 13 years. A similar situation occurred in the 17th to 18th century, when the average temperature of the Northern Hemisphere decreased by 0.6 C. The research team believes the quadrupolar pattern also emerged at that time.
(Apr. 21, 2012)screenshot of the article:
============================
some are asking IS there a difference between .. quadri , quadru, quadra … quick answer.. no difference.. all are variants of Quadri … which means four in Latin ..
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/quadri-
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/quadra-
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/quadru
============================
Per the Japanese HINODE team — in about one months time — (may 2012) the suns north pole will reach a reading of “zero” and instead of a regular “pole shift” .. it will form into MULTIPLE positive poles — thus making MULTIPLE negative poles which correspond to these new “north poleS” … and to top it off.. this is happening a year ahead of the expected “nominal” time.

Polar Field Reversal as observed with Hinode
19 April 2012
Naional Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ/NINS)
RIKEN
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA)
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Science and Technology Facilities Council(STFC)
European Space Agency(ESA)The polarity of the extended uni-polar magnetic field in the solar polar region is known to reverse every 11 years, and the reversal occurs at around the maximum of solar activity, which is expected to take place at around 2013 May (NOAA ).
High latitude magnetic fields have been observed with solar telescopes on the ground. However, actual process of the polar field reversal is poorly understood because of the difficulty of the observations on the extreme limb combined with atmospheric seeing effect. The solar optical telescope aboard the Hinode satellite allows us for the first time to perform extremely high-quality observations of the deep polar region of the Sun (Figure A). The initial discoveries include that there are many magnetic patches with intense magnetic field in the polar regions. Their field strength is close to that of sunspots, and their size is as large as small sunspots called pore.
The international research team led by Saku Tsuneta, a professor at NAOJ, has been performing the monthly polar observations with Hinode from September 2008. We here report the discovery that the average magnetic flux of the north polar region is rapidly and steadily decreasing during the period of 2008 and 2012 (Figure B). The reversal (from minus to plus polarity) is taking place in sequence from lower latitude to higher latitude. The average magnetic flux of the polar region soon becomes zero. The estimated completion of the reversal of the north polar region will take place in 1 months or so, about one year earlier than the nominal expected reversal time.
In striking contrast to the north polar situation, the magnetic flux of the south polar region has been very stable, and maintains the plus polarity (Figure C). These latest Hinode observations suggest that the global magnetic field of the Sun will become different from the normal bipolar configuration.
Observations of the polar magnetic fields are the key for understanding the cyclic solar dynamo. Their results will shed light on the origin of the solar magnetism, and will contribute to our understating on the Sun’s effect to the solar-terrestrial environment.

Fracking causes earthquakes, studies confirm
CBC News
The Canadian Press
April 17, 2012
Two separate studies are providing insights into the earth-shaking consequences of the controversial gas extraction process known as fracking.
Both studies confirm that processes linked to the extraction of oil and gas through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, can trigger manmade earthquakes. Fracking involves blasting water, sand and chemicals deep into the ground to fracture rock to obtain oil and natural gas.
4/18/2012 — Earthquake Overview — EIGHT 6.0M+ earthquakes this week = watch adjacent areas [video]

===========================
1 weeks worth of 5.0M and greater / western hemisphere (week up to April 18, 2012):
1 weeks worth of 5.0M and greater / eastern hemisphere (week up to April 18, 2012):
———————————————–
Use these links below to monitor earthquakes globally — be aware that having at least one 6.0M per day this week is a sign that the large scale movement which started this past year (2011) is still showing signs of continuing.

The west pacific, is the obvious stand out point for activity — the other LARGE east pacific earthquakes seem to be occurring almost like a buildup or compensation for the excessive movement north of New Zealand, west of Vanutau to Sumatra.. and.. north to Japan..
Central america is responding to these hundreds of 4.0M and 5.0M in the w. pacific.. by showing the intermittent 7.0M+ borderline 8.0 magnitude earthquakes. Today (april 18 2012) we also saw volcanic plume activity at Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico.
West Coast USA should be prepared for these 6.0M+ earthquakes (or greater) to occur most likely Oregon northeast towards Vancouver Island BC/Canada. Also area to watch would be central California (mono lake) south to Baja Mexico/California/Gulf of California.
North America.. be aware along the edge of the north american craton / Laurentia. This means states like Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia , W. Virginia, Pennsylvania … watch out for the potential for 5.0M+ earthquakes (or greater). This threat will continue to exist as long as the movement continues half a planet away over in the W. Pacific. The pressure put upon the north american craton is showing at the weak points.. the spots where either dormant volcanoes exist, or where human activity (such as fracking / drilling) has weakened the craton edge with shafts dug to remove oil and natural gas.
Overall .. this recent return to noticeable 6.0M+ earthquake movement is a sign that whatever is causing this unrest is not abating.
4/18/2012 — Two Explosive eruptions at Sakurajima Volcano [video]
ＤＵＴＣＨＳＩＮＳＥ = ＳＩＮＣＥＤＵＴＣＨ
April 19, 2012
——————————————–
Sakurajima Volcano in Japan produces some of the most impressive eruptions on the planet… it does this on a daily or semi-daily basis.
This time, we see two VERY LARGE explosive eruptions … resembling fireworks, only MUCH larger, and more damaging.
Static discharge lightning, giant clouds of ash, and of course molten lava —- its really a cool sight to see.
