Satellites and spacecraft malfunction as Earth’s magnetic field mysteriously weakens
well if that didn't convince you! the agency doing this is american, or german, or hispanic well, depends on the article sometimes

This is like polar ice caps melting. They asked for funding of course (there is already funding for solar flares you know). The government told everyone "the icecaps are melting". Later it was found out that ice is gaining on one side of the north pole quicker than being lost on the other side.
but the tricky bastards - you can't trust them. if one part of it weakens you can't say they didn't use a moving average with the whole - which we already knew moved (a point in the path of it weakens as that approaches, simple math)
They MIGHT have shows an area of magentic field is moving - but US research already proved that geologically decades ago in a famous geologic mineral discovery.
Do you trust today's "i need funding" government agencies to handle your "data" ?
I trust Intel personally. Because I have to.
