TequillaX127 say: if we did lose all of our magnetosphere, soon the earth would look like the moon. stripped of all atmosphere.
according to estimates, the tipping of the north and south magnetic poles and magnetic-fields will occur (perhaps) within 2000-years. i have been waiting for this. it is due every 100,000-years, and the drifting of the magnetic poles is accelerating every year. currently, the north pole is moving towards siberia, russia.

quantumclaustrophobe say: Solar wind would have more access to our atmosphere, stripping it away at a much faster pace; and ions would begin impacting our atmosphere directly, increasing the light radiation we normally get, so we'd see a rise in cancer rates. Ozone would be disrupted (although not immediately), so skin cancers would begin to rise as well. Laying out in the sun now is damaging; if this were to happen - it could be lethal.
If the core no longer were to produce a magnetic field, that means it's cooled, and halted in transferring heat; so - it wouldn't be immediate, but the mantle would begin to cool as well... volcanic activity and quakes would begin to quell after awhile. Continental drift would likewise halt (but, that would happen only when the mantle exhausted its heat... several hundred to several thousand years - could be longer.)
