You can see why that one is having better luck catching the SUV.
Much better running shoes!
There is nothing in the real world scientists completely understand. They are not gods, but money grubbing liars, cheats, and sinners just like the rest of us.
Scientists develop models, but as simplifications models are always partially wrong, and often very wrong. Filling a bathtub will alter Earth's axis, which demonstrates the futility of trying to create models that capture all. Even deep space probes, far away from everything, are never exactly where the most sophisticated models say they should be.
All models of the real world, including climate and other religious models, are wrong. The models that are partially useful are embarrassingly small in number.
The stupid burns.
How about if we put a bunch of magnets and counter weights at the poles?

Earlier this year, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey (BGS) were forced to update the World Magnetic Model a year ahead of schedule due to the speed with which the magnetic north pole is shifting out of the Canadian Arctic and toward Russia’s Siberia.
Deep solar minimum on the verge of an historic milestone

Solar minimum is a normal part of the 11-year sunspot cycle, but the last one and the current one have been far deeper than most. One of the consequences of a solar minimum is a reduction of solar storms and another is the intensification of cosmic rays. The just ended solar cycle 24 turned out to be one of the weakest in more than a century – continuing a weakening trend that began in the 1980’s – and, if the latest forecasts are correct, the next solar cycle will be the weakest in more than 200 years.
One of the natural impacts of decreasing solar activity is the weakening of the ambient solar wind and its magnetic field which, in turn, allows more and more cosmic rays to penetrate the solar system. Galactic cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outside the solar system that can impact the Earth’s atmosphere. Our first line of defense from cosmic rays comes from the sun as its magnetic field and the solar wind combine to create a ‘shield’ that fends off cosmic rays attempting to enter the solar system. The shielding action of the sun is strongest during solar maximum and weakest during solar minimum with the weakening magnetic field and solar wind. The intensity of cosmic rays varies globally by about 15% over a solar cycle because of changes in the strength of the solar wind, which carries a weak magnetic field into the heliosphere, partially shielding Earth from low-energy galactic charged particles.
NEWLY PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC PAPER TEARS GLOBAL WARMING AND THE IPCC TO SHREDS

A scientific paper entitled “An Overview of Scientific Debate of Global Warming and Climate Change” has recently come out of the University of Karachi, Pakistan. The paper’s author, Prof. Shamshad Akhtar delves into earth’s natural temperature variations of the past 1000 years, and concludes that any modern warming trend has been hijacked by political & environmental agendas, and that the science (tackled below) has been long-ignored and at times deliberately manipulated.
... Pro human induced global warming scientists exaggerate the contribution of carbon dioxide as a major greenhouse gas in absorbing long wave earth’s radiation. The fact is water vapor is the single largest atmospheric greenhouse gas (2% by volume), Carbon dioxide is second (0.0385% by volume).
Water vapor contributes 95% to the greenhouse effect, all other greenhouse gases combined contribute only 5%. Furthermore, the man-made portion of carbon dioxide contributes only 0.117% to the greenhouse effect.
The IPCC does not consider water vapor a greenhouse gas in its reports.
In addition, water vapor absorbs in a much wider band of long wave radiation (4-8 micrometer and 12-70 micrometer bands), whereas Carbon dioxide absorbs in narrow bands (13-16 micrometer) and ozone absorbs in a much smaller narrow band (9-10 micrometer). Thus, water vapor absorbs in a much wider wave length band, it has the single largest greenhouse effect among all the greenhouse gases.
Or maybe it was obesity. I should continue my fight in the battle of the bulge and to right the earth. ;)
Blaming everything that goes wrong in the world on climate change is so yesterday.
Those in the "woke" know that covid is to blame now.
I'm just sayin'....
Poles shifting is something that, in their own words is "not well understood", but absolutely had to be caused by climate change?
Well, why exactly is that skippy?
Go ahead, explain it. I'm retired, I have the time.....

It’s simple to understand. Using long known principles of Conservation of energy, and conservation of momentum, the shift can be calculated. If you simply spit out your gum in a certain direction, you can calculate the amount that will change the axis of the earth’s spin. (It will be quite small).
The authors don't even seem to understand basic geography. If you're standing on the North Pole, ALL directions are south. There is no east, west, or north. The opposite is true on the South Pole. Even if you assume that their vantage point is somewhere else, the actual direction of motion depends on the specific viewing location. Not stating that, makes writing a direction of movement meaningless.
Not just "climate change". MAN-MADE climate change! It has to be that. There's no doubt in the universe about it! Evil greedy Capitalism is to blame! Lol!
So, if “global warming” is melting all this ice why has the water line at the beaches been at the same place for the past 50 years?
Mitch (Billy Crystal): Which way is north?
Phil (Daniel Stern): Up.
Mitch: What do you mean, “up”?
Phil: North on the map is always up.
So, I guess that means...we should go up.
Mitch: What are you saying? Every time you go up you’re going north, and every time you go down, south?
Phil: Yes
Mitch: Now you’re starting to frighten me.
Phil: Hold up here. Maybe you should have bought a compass instead of those four pounds of tortilla chips.
My intuition (with plenty of science to back it up) tells me it was the Biblical global flood around 2,500 BC.
Glen (Jon Lovitz): All right.
Now, the sun sets in the east, right?
Mitch (Billy Crystal): No, the sun sets in the west.
Glen (Jon Lovitz): That’s if you’re in the East. But we are way out West now... So we are past where the sun sets.
Mitch (Billy Crystal): You can’t be past where the sun sets.
And if you think you can, then I am directly south of an idiot.
Phil (Daniel Stern): Which is down.
Mitch: Right.
Mitch (Billy Crystal): Well, actually... we’re seismologists from Caltech.
(tough guy) Cowboy (now skeptical): Oh, yeah?
Mitch: Yeah. Do you know anything about geology or earthquakes?
Cowboy: No.
Mitch: (”explaining”...) Well, the continental plates are in a state of extreme, seismic tension, throughout this entire, igneous, polygamous, Jurassic, Hasidic region. And when the plates get in that state of tension, what we have to do is dig down and relax them.
Cowboy: Golly.
Mitch: Well put.
Your posts are making me laugh out loud. This is not good!
It's one of my all-time favorite comedies.
The film looks good, but I haven’t seen it. I simply can’t take the the intensity of noise in theaters. They turn the background noises so loud that I can’t hear the speaking. I have perfect hearing up to low voice pitch, and hear nothing at higher frequencies. That means that all I hear in a theater is the background noise. “Surround Sound” makes it even worse. My high-end hearing aids simply amplify the noise even more. I haven’t seen a movie in decades.
