Well, Al Gore said the debate is over. Global warming is the most serious issue facing mankind.
And Obama has said that we have to stop the rising of the oceans and climate change.
And Nancy Pelosi said that she has a planet to save. She didn’t say which planet, however.
With so many good Democrats on board the global warming train, aren’t we all convinced that we must pass that cap and tax bill?

so the global cooling we are in will fix it, right???

I think I will drink a whole bottle of Scotch and maybe I can tilt this sucker back.

OK a gyroscope with the radius of the semimajoraxis of the moon and you are going to tilt it exactly how? Do these bozos have any idea how much force you need to apply to move a planet. Sir Isaac Newton is in the drivers seat around here, and we like it that way.

Very few article titles make me laugh out loud, but this one did! I’m still laughing just thinking about other scientists on the GW bandwagon trying to keep a straight face when they read or hear this. It’s like trying not to laugh at a fart in church... too funny!

zOMG we are already losing Polaris as a pole star due to precession, if that accelerates we’ll all get lost and the eels won’t find their way back to Sargasso!
Oh noes Oh noes Oh noes!
(back when the pyrmids were being planned Thuban was the pole star)

I wonder how much effect global cooling might have in the poles flipping? have to research that . ;-)
Have we already assured ourselves destruction by cutting off too much carbon emissions back into the atmosphere.
silly humans, again, if true.

Remember in 4th grade seeing comics with an ad for a book which predicted the earth would soon tilt on its axis. Didn't bother me at all. I was worried sick about the spring rains. We and the Ruskies were testing nukes above ground back then. All that radioactive debris, high up in the winter, would rain down on us in April.
I suppose it did too.

Are you suggesting that Mastodon farts put so much methane in the air so as to cause the formation of the continents as we know them
Look the mastodons were sitting around eating baked beans and one thing lead to another ......

There should be a law — AGW Global warming scientists need to issue their papers with an accompanying laugh track.
So you wonder why the super continent of Rodina didn't cause the earth to spin out of the sun's orbit like an unbalanced top -- or why didn't Pangea do the same.
Just so much nonsense.

They have global warming confused with Al Gore’s giant ego.
That is the only thing on earth large enough to affect terrestrial mechanics.

The effect was previously thought to be negligible, but researchers now say the shift will be large enough that it should be taken into account when interpreting how the Earth wobbles. "Researchers now say..." because all other theories have fallen flat.
What will "researches now say" tomorrow? How about "Too many people in China will cause a change in the Earth's tilt, unless 100 million of them move to the United States to equal out the weight distribution on the planet, studies now suggest."

Warming oceans could cause Earth's axis to tilt in the coming century, a new study suggests.Okay all you fat @$$ed Americans, on the count of 3 get up off your butts and jump to the left! Oh wait, we're already tilting too far left.

"Global Warming" is tilting the Earth: to the
Left.
Which is the entire point of the exercise: to deny individual liberty and empower the collective, using what used to be called "ecology" in order to effect what used to be called "communism".
