Is Global Warming Behind Earth's Gravity Shifting?
MichaelH writes "The good folks at JPL along with the Royal Observatory of Belgium have an explanation for the recent changes in Earth's magnetic field: the melting of sub-polar glaciers causing a mass shift towards the equator. Starting in 1997, a noticeable change in Earth's gravitational field was observed; Earth was beginning to develop a 'bulging waistline.' Sounds like it's time for a diet with fewer greenhouse gases...."
So, where is the trending data over a few thousand years saying that man and his theorized greenhouse gases are heating things up?
Reconstructed climate data from the last 1000 years can be found here.
So... If somebody ever proves with real evidence, and trending, that these greenhouse gases are the culperate for ALL our problems...
Nobody has ever claimed that greenhouse gases are resonible for all of our problems.
what are we going to do about those pesky things called volcanos? Tell them that they can't spew millions of tons of greenhouse gases?
Nothing, we evolved with volcanos, and their effect on the earth's climate. It's when we started pumping in extra greenhouses gaes, over and above what volcanos contribute, that problems occur.
