"The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday."

I hope they used it on his head.................
I thought when Algore stuck his head out of his hole, he saw his shadow which means 6 more weeks of Climate Change! Oh noes!
Who knows. He’s already got an easy out, IMO, because he’s been allowed to disappear.
may have changed the entire Earth’s rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet
or may not...

algore should reduce gravity after he moves the earth farther from the sun
If true, this means the earthquake has lengthened the number of our days ;-)
Let’s see...each day has been shortened by 1.5 microseconds, which means that in one million years, we will have 1.5 less seconds per day. WE ARE DOOMED!!
Al Gore knows full well that the earth’s gravitational field is also increasing in strength; it is making him feel heavier and heavier....
“One Earth day is about 24 hours long. Over the course of a year, the length of a day normally changes gradually by one millisecond. It increases in the winter, when the Earth rotates more slowly, and decreases in the summer, Gross has said in the past.”
OK, maybe I’m missing something obvious, but when it’s winter in the northern hemisphere isn’t it summer in the southern, and visa versa? So how is the earth rotating more slowly in one hemisphere and faster in the other? Doesn’t the whole thing rotate at the same rate?
Or am I just being dense?
Look on the bright side - each year has more days! (a fraction of a day, anyhow)
algore looks more like a vampire every year
The MSNBC article says 1.26 milliseconds. The scientist on Fox News said 1.5 microseconds. Whichever is correct, we are definitely not going to seen any difference for thousands or even millions of years. That of course, assumes we survive the Obama obliteration.
Which way will it be, less time to get energy from the sun leading to lower temperature, or, less time to radiate it away at night leading to higher temperatures?
Snow comes UP Charlie Brown!
“...shortened the length of days...”?
The length of days increases by one second about every six months due to tidal friction causing the slowing of the Earth’s rotation—an expected loss of energy.
A shortening of days would mean the Earth’s rotation sped up. Did a large mass get closer to the planet’s center of mass since it would take energy to simply speed a static planet’s rotation? Like an ice skater pulling in their arms to speed rotation? Must have been...
“Snow comes UP Charlie Brown!”
So I’m NOT crazy?! And this is a scientist?
I knew Al Gore would find an excuse and blame it on something else instead of the late night buffet and donuts.
No way...If Algore were to use this as an “out” saying this earthquake will cause shorter days which will scientifically translate into just enough cooling to save the planet!
Algore won’t make any money off that...No, he’ll continue on and on aslong as there are idiots who BUY into his schemes....FOOLS!!!
