RN> Normally, our star, like Earth itself, has a north and a
 RN> south magnetic pole. But for nearly a month beginning in
 RN> March 2000, the Sun's south magnetic pole faded, and a north
 RN> pole emerged to take its place. The Sun had two north poles.

 RN> What effects could we see from the above?

Well, I'm sure it would have an effect on the sun spots, solar wind, and so
forth.  I'm not sure what effect that would have here on Earth.  Perhaps a
change in the auroras?
