'True polar wander' may have caused ice age

Thanks for the reply.

I’d say that volcanoes are many times the threat of global warming, but how can politicians run a scam to steal trillions based on that threat?

'True polar wander' may have caused ice age

And, every time the polar-wander occurs, it's because of global warming. Or is it climate change?

We have to figure out a way to control polar wander, through climate control.

Perhaps we can control polar-wander by moving people to the other side of the planet, opposite the shifting of the earth's mass.

Anytime the planet's mass shifts, we could move all liberals and progressive and communists and Muslims to the opposite side, to prevent the poles from wandering off.

“I wonder if this could cause enough unbalance to make another polar wander.”

Interesting question.

Al Gore isn't a scientist. It would be difficult for him to try to hide what he doesn't understand

If the mantle anomalies are massive enough, they can unbalance the planet, and the equator will gradually shift to bring the excess mass closer to the equator.

So if the Earth keeps spinning long enough it will flatten out and finally the flat-earthers will be right.

It’s centripetal force, not centrifugal.

If the mantle anomalies are massive enough, they can unbalance the planet, and the equator will gradually shift to bring the excess mass closer to the equator.

The planet still spins once every 24 hours and true polar wander does not affect the tilt of the Earth's spin axis relative to the sun. The redistribution of mass to a new equator does change Earth's poles, the points on the planet's surface where the spin axis emerges.

Okay, this makes sense, but I don’t see an ice age as an inevitable result.

This to me is an attempt by the Global Warmist to discredit Sun Spot minimums as being the cause of the ice ages.

The first event you mention was likely caused by a comet fragment (like the one that likely hit 1000 years prior), and the later sounds like some major volcanic event with VEI of 7-8 or greater.

"So, I have recently read that Earth is swallowing TRILLIONS of tons of water into its interior as tectonic plates collide beneath the ocean."

The Earth is going to be up all night going to the bathroom.
