If only you had forgone your use of a fossil fueled vehicle, had given up meat, started taking 2 minute showers, moved into an off-the-grid shack, and, really, just killed yourself because Warmists complain about too many people on Earth
Climate Change Causing the Earth to Wobble? NASA Says, Yes!
Climate change is impacting how Earth spins on its axis, NASA says.
Over the past century, Earth’s axis – the imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles – has drifted about 4 inches, and a decrease in Greenland’s ice mass is the main contributor to the wobble, the space agency has announced.
As temperatures increased throughout the 20th century because of humans, Greenland’s ice mass decreased.
“A total of about 7,500 gigatons — the weight of more than 20 million Empire State Buildings — of Greenland’s ice melted into the ocean during this time period,” NASA said in a press release. “This makes Greenland one of the top contributors of mass being transferred to the oceans, causing sea level to rise and, consequently, a drift in Earth’s spin axis.”
The agency notes that while melting has occurred at other locations, including Antarctica, Greenland’s location has had a greater influence on Earth’s wobble.
“There is a geometrical effect that if you have a mass that is 45 degrees from the North Pole — which Greenland is — or from the South Pole (like Patagonian glaciers), it will have a bigger impact on shifting Earth’s spin axis than a mass that is right near the Pole,” said coauthor Eric Ivins.
See? Your fault. They forgot to supply evidence that this is all the fault of humanity (that’s the way they position it above), they just assume it. Can they explain what the wobble was during the Little Ice Age? How about the Medieval Warm Period? And the previous warm and cool periods during the Holocene? Certainly with science one needs a control group for this, do they not?
Nah. That’s not the MO of the Cult of Climastrology. And we can’t fix this without taxes/fees and you giving up your liberty.
