Scientific spin.

“,,,scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered that earlier estimates of 1 degree every year were inaccurate and that the core is actually moving much slower than previously believed – approximately 1 degree every million years. “

LOL...how can scientists be so totally WRONG about so many “facts” that “everyone” accepts for years? Wonder how many taxpayer grants were wasted publishing dire warnings about the spinning core of the earth.

It’s obviously Bush’s fault. When he was President it sped up. Now that Obama is President, it’s slowed back down.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Bush’s fault.

Arizona was -13 degrees give or take 20 years ago, where is it now

They can’t even get a simple global measurement like this right, but they know what global climate is doing, even though there are an infinite number of variables.

> ...time for the differences to freeze into the structure...

Isn't "freeze" kind of the wrong word here? Aren't the temperatures extremely high? What's wrong with "solidify"?

I'm in a mood to pick nits tonight... watch out! :)

” an east-west hemispherical difference in velocity is frozen into the structure of the inner core.”

Read it three times and still don’t comprehend how two halves of a sphere can move at different velocities. Guess I’m not as smart as I used to be.

Perhaps the paradigm here is, of all people, Mrs. Cunningham from "Happy Days", when in one episode, she specifically told the "Fonz" to "sit on it and rotate".

Left to my own devices, I rather doubt that my comment on this would be as temperate.

FReegards!

Thanks decimon. Pole shift-related.

Kinda getting sick of these Guesstimates by scientists passed of as fact......

[Let's Roll]

From one degree a year to one degree a million years. Not much difference there.

[Onelifetogive]

earlier estimates of 1 degree every year were inaccurate and that the core is actually moving much slower than previously believed – approximately 1 degree every million years.

I suspect that these are the same guys who figured out that whole global warming thing. In fact, I register the domain www.glabalcoreslowdown.com. It may become the next cataclysm-du-jure...

[Oztrich Boy]

However, scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered that earlier estimates of 1 degree every year were inaccurate and that the core is actually moving much slower than previously believed – approximately 1 degree every million years.

Per the foot note 17:

“It was also noted that the concentration of liberals in San Francisco and Berkley along with those in Cambridge produce the phenomenon called Crustal Drag.”
