So...if things break down at high heat how is the earth producing its magnetic field? Do we have a frozen iron core?

Good question. The article is only talking about so-called permanent magnets. Hunks of usually metal that exhibit this property under the right conditions.

Sibling comment seems like it already covers the rest.
