Climate Change Is Making the Earth Wobble

As pollution from burning fossil fuels continues to heat the atmosphere, the world's glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate. Scientists widely agree that this meltwater has been a major factor in raising global sea levels about seven inches over the 20th century.

The movement of all that water is affecting the Earth's rotation, according to a study published Friday in the journal Science.

"If you are melting glaciers from high latitudes--in Alaska, Greenland, or Iceland--you move mass away from the pole, toward the equator, which slows the Earth down," said Jerry Mitrovica, the study's lead author and a Harvard geophysicist who specializes in studying sea level change. "The change in the distribution of the mass from the poles to lower latitudes also causes the rotation to wobble slightly, because it's being redistributed unequally."

I thought the erf had wobbles to begin with. So this means it get even more wobbly?

And, as the rotation slows, will we be able to bounce like we're on the moon?

Global Warming PING!

What a load.

Beginning with the mantel, the earth’s core is surprisingly deep. Land and sea merely glide around it like toothpaste on teeth.

Yuk it up, Jack, but the sky IS falling! Everyone knows that Global Warming makes it colder, until the sky shatters and falls. Every time I step out the door, cold, white chunks of it smack me in the head and shoulders.

I suppose you’ll just try to claim it’s angels brushing dandruff out of their hair.

NOT true! The earth is wobbly because of Roseanne Barr, and Rosie O’Donnell. Two roses did us in. No known cure.
