When looking at the Earth from afar it appears to be a perfect sphere, but that actually isn’t the case. Because Earth isn’t uniform on all sides due to land masses that shift and change over time, our planet actually wobbles a bit when it spins. Now, a new study by researchers with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and several universities and science centers has pinpointed the causes of Earth’s imperfect spin, called “polar motion,” and they found that humans are contributing to it.

The researchers used a wealth of data gathered over 100 years to build mathematical models to trace the causes of the wobble and found that three factors are at play, and mankind is responsible for one of them.

Now were going to have to have a wobble tax to combat global wobbling.

The natural forces of unfettered capitalism will automatically correct

Well, communism/socialism putting a gun to Earth's head (literally, metaphorically, or the long march through the institutions) will definitely not work. It's one of those things we'll have to live with, like this here.

If you elect me, I will work with the Untied Nations to reverse the moons erratic behavior!

Look. All this talk about the Moon, OK? What's it worth? Nothing. Because the Moon is in a shit neighborhood. It's close to Earth. People say that the earth has got a zillion pieces of satellite crap and all orbiting around it. That's not what it is. It's police tape. That's the reason they want to go to the moon again. So they can get b-roll for a story leading off the local news about how the Earth is just one big fucking crime scene.
