Why is Earth’s axis shifting?

[BlueThruAndThru_rivals115784]

"From 1982 to 2005, scientists found that the North Pole was drifting slowly south towards Labrador, about six to seven centimetres each year. But in 2005, the motions of the North Pole suddenly flipped in three unexpected ways.

....

Rapid melting of ice on land has made the drift velocity of the North Pole accelerate, and has changed its direction of travel to the east. This solid ice is now liquid water spread across the planet. We know where the ice was, we know where it’s gone – and the maths all fit with the observed changes to motions of the North Pole."

Just ignore it BlueThru, it'll go away eventually.

Sounds like you already have the answer. Mods, please close the thread.

Childhood Obesity. The added weight has shifted the center of gravity.

No, ALLAH willed it.

I know better than to bring up the man-made global warming aspect of these things. That's why I didn't quote those parts of the article.

I thought it was interesting that the melting of ice could cause a wobble in our planet and that we could measure it.

Atlas has shrugged.

planet is 5 billion years old, who knows how much wobbling the damn poles have done in that time? humans have only been around with the intelligence to measure it for the last what, 20 or 30 yrs.

All I know is most astrologers are stoned. Ever tried to make a few stars look like a crab, a fish, or a bull? It's like an interstellar Rorschach's.

Those dudes were smoking some serious peyote to make the zodiac.

At least you're not blaming it on a government conspiracy, I guess.

Nukes... Hell, the Japan quake moved the axis 10 CENTIMETERS

global warming... GTF outta here.

No, ALLAH willed it.

Wrong! Ra willed it.

 

[thabigbluenation]

the earth's axis has always been shifting. try google, it will tell you all about it.

 

[funKYcat75]

Tell your mom to walk to the other side of the planet, please.

Show of hands, who glanced at the thread title and for a second thought it said "Why is the Earth's axis shitting?"

I just wanted to respond "to get to the other side".

Good thing the Cardinals missed the post season so he has time to learn to spell morons.

Climate change?

W?

The 10th planet?

Ahura Mazda begs to differ.
