The question is: How can we turn this into a man made crisis requiring taxes on wealthy nations?

Been going on since Theia ripped a chunk out of the earth to make the moon. Back when the moon was 10 times closer to earth than it is now.

“Days on Earth Are Getting Longer, Thanks to the Moon”

Obama’s carbon tax will fix that.

Dumb question: how is this 1.5 inch yearly change out of 239,000 miles measured? Does the measurement assume a perfect spherical Earth?

And why did the author give us an approximate number when he could give us: 239,0000.000075757575 miles?

Another dumb question: is the author a Penn State student who studied under Michael Mann?

I’m a third grade dropout but doesn’t this mean that in the future, total solar eclipses will no longer be total?

Global warming causes the expansion.

Global cooling would make the day contract.
