If only the woolly mammoths hadn’t all run to one side and tipped over the planet.

How many trillions do we have to ship to China and India to stop this Algore?

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

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

...highly viscous bumps of mantle build up at latitudes away from the equator.

Sounds like Stormy Daniels to me. Is this guy REALLY a geologist?

Earth is still in an ice age that began about 3.2 million years ago. Earth's poles have been covered with ice throughout the age, and thick ice sheets periodically grow and recede from poles in cycles that have occurred more than 100 times.

Wow, that is truly astonishing. I thought there were a couple Ice Ages with the Pleistocene being the last one and ending about 10,000 years ago. That's the first I've heard that we've been through 100 cycles of ice sheet advance/retreat and we are still in an ice age that began 3.2 million years ago.

How in the world can they determine we've been through more than 100 cycles? Wouldn't each glaciation period wipe out evidence of all former glaciations? When you see glacial striations on bedrock and the vast terminal moraines in upstate NY, you get a real sense for the power of glaciers to wipe everything out.

Is Santa OK?

I mean, I’ve been really good this year and I’m just sure I’m on the “Nice” list.

It’s been a real struggle what with Nancy Pelosi and Joy Behar and Hillary and Obama and all those other assho.....I mean people.

I’ve never wanted to kick so many people on their behinds.

But, I maintained my calm.....except for that incident with my neighbor Steve and the rake. But he had it coming! His stupid leaves were all over my lawn!

There’s no trees at the North Pole, so Santa can’t truly understand how annoying leaves are.

Well, I hope he’s OK.

Santa, not Steve. Steve can stick leaves up his, well, whatever.

And Santa better not be bringing me a rake for Christmas or he’ll find out what rake tastes like.

See....now I’m on the “Naughty” list.....and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet.

Great.

'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.

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.

[Paal Gulli]

It’s centripetal force, not centrifugal.

[Pontiac]

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.
