LOL, the magnetic pole fluctuation is now because climate change (note the
chance in the lingo, Global Warming -> Climate Change)

Sir, you must to be kidding, I refuse to think that you are fucking stupid.

Whoopee, like that has never happened before, but it has nothing to do
with physics, ass hat.

Sorry, Elmer, the article refers to the geographic, not magnetic,
poles.

It has everything to do with physics, jimp. Perhaps you need a
refresher course. :-o

No, ass hat, it is geology and I say that as someone who has actually
taken college level courses in both geology and physics.

Your cut and paste of this stuff to a physics group is just more of
your usual FUD.

If shifting of the earth polar axis in a physics newsgroup
irritates you, jimp, you should skip over it. You are already
too angry.

Sigh, once again, ass hat, the emotions you invoke in me are mostly
contempt and pity.

FYI ass hat, the Earth's polar axis is always shifting, it always has
been shifting, and it always will be shifting.

How can it move the North Pole east? The only direction from the North
Pole is south. It is just a matter of which south (which longitude).

According to the paper, since regular measurements began in 1899 the
pole has been moving south down longitude 70 W at about 10cm / year.
Since 2005, it has been moving roughly at right angles to that line;
it is moving in a direction that would be east given a position of the
pole from some time in the previous hundred years or so.

0° longitude is interpreted as North at the poles
90° longitude is interpreted as East at the poles
etc.

What is interesting, jimp, is that this measured shift is due to the
changing mass of melting ice due to global warming.

What was the polar shift during the last two warming periods, ass hat?

Did anyone even notice it?

Did anyone even care?

How is this not almost the same, are you telling that global warming move
continents??

Me too, would wish to make sense to begin with, then read.

If the axis changes, the ice caps
are no longer cenred.

Valid point, that axis is like never will change.

If true, has nothing to do with the axis.

Oh Yeah? Well there used to be a mile of ice right above where my
computer chair is right now! Not so long ago either... But "global
warming" from CO2 melted it all...

===============================
 
The Earth’s crust is like the shell of an egg, cracked and
broken. Even if you could prove your claim, it is
insignificant and has no bearing on a change in axis.
Moving the crust with plate tectonics doesn’t change
the axis.
 
I repeat, what do you think would change the axis, you imbecile?

that is a hypothesis, but I don't know
of any models that actually would relate; I mean,
til last yeat, I didn't believe in "currents
in the mantle," because the seismology is clear,
it's solid-state.
