Global Warming Could Tilt the Earth's Axis
New Scientist and EarthFirst ^ | 26 August 2009 | Stephanie Rogers, New Scientist via EarthFirst

"Luckily, the effect is expected to be relatively small, and shouldn’t induce any negative feedback in the planet’s climate. It just needs to be taken into account when interpreting shifts in Earth’s axis."

Although small, there is a risk that we will all slide off the planet as it tilts. In order to quantify this level of risk, I shall need a rather substantial grant ...

Yeah, it’s already tilted AlGores axis! He’s still looking for his Norwood-Dingell lockbox!

In that case, let’s all join hands and tilt the other way..

The axis has been shifting for some time now. “global warming” isn’t going to affect the shift any.
Also the magnetic field is always shifting. Will they blame that on “global warming” too?

Global Warming Could Tilt the Earth's Axis

Can it tilt anymore to the left?

As big as Al's butt is all he would have to do is stand up to shift the world axis.

You know when I came home from bar hopping last Friday night I noticed that no matter how hard I held onto the the edge of the front lawn to keep from being flung into space, the rotation and tilt of the earth kept me drifting towards magnetic north.

More research to come next weekend.

Hmmm... I was just looking at it. You might have to do a search or wander around on the site itself. The link I posted is probably overcome by automated story indexing on the site.....

i’m sure women and minorities will incur significantly more negative effects of this tilt.

Does anyone need to ask who is paying for this “research”?

It is more likely that an Ice Age build up of massive amounts of frozen water will change the earth’s tilt. Does it get back to normal when the Ice melts and the Ice Age ends? LOL, questions questions, where’s Al Goreghoul when you need him to answer them? LOL

The good news is that the new “global cooling” will cancel it out.

He already has stupidity flying out of his mouth, so maybe that would help balance things.

LOL! If the axis tilts, it could only be from the great weight of so many leftists gathered on the left side waiting to jump off. Flat earth is not a bit farther reach than, gasp! global warming.

When they either jump or tilt it until they fall, the earth will snap back in soooo many ways.

Actually, the tilt is being changed by Hillary traveling from South Africa to Japan and back and forth, also.

One of these days they’ll put out a story about how our moving around on the planet is endangering the earth’s axis.

Global warming - is there anything it can’t do?

Global Warming will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.

It will give your ex-boyfriend your new phone number. It will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Global Warming will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your current boyfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Visa card.

It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of Global Warming, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.

It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Global Warming will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methamphetamine in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.

Yes, all we have to do is for everyone to simply run to the other side of the planet and tilt it back, no problem! Another solution: When the earth starts to tilt the people on the side of the earth that is tilting would all jump into the air at the same time, this would cause the weight of the people on the other side to tilt the planet back. I can’t see the problem!/SAR
