Is This Really Earthshaking?

[skjl47]

Hello; One thought being for some time now in order to be published it helps to throw in a reference to things such a climate change. Of course i do not know the motives of the authors in that regard. I am a bit skeptical of the link to humans pumping water but not enough to naysay their findings. Part of the skepticism goes to the use of computer models.
There is at least one pumping situation that fits the idea. The Ogalala Aquifer is a small ocean of fresh water under several midwestern states. Its waters have been heavily pumped for many decades. Pumped to the point of seriously lowering the water table.

I was not aware until recently that the variable density of the earths interior results in regions of higher and lower gravity on the planet; with the lowest known gravitational potential to exist in a particular area of ocean south of India and Ceylon.

I have no idea how closely we can chart this phenomenon but at the same time I don’t say that we can possibly discount it and just blame groundwater pumping for things like Pole shift.

I think that internally, the earth is trying to circulate material so that its density normalizes, according to the normal principles of stagnation.

Compared to 8000 miles of the earths diameter, the shallow depths from which we can manipulate water are just like the paint on a house.

Also, doesn’t the moon’s tidal effect smooth out all the groundwater eventually? Not fast like an ocean tide, but slowly and inevitably?

That's quite interesting and seems believable...although the difference is probably almost imperceptibly small and of academic interest only. But I'm sure someone will do a "study" that "suggests" we should start pushing the Himalayas and Alps and Rockies into the Marianas Trench in an effort to smooth out the planet and negate the threat...

Ulu , I note that the you are completely unalarmed; your lack of concern is...alarming to me...

Please! Less thinking, and more reacting is what's needed here...or at least, that's what is desired here. In the immortal words of the great thinker Homer Simpson: "Duh! I don't know what to think until TV tells me!''

Well in homage to that thought I will change the topic of discussion radically, with scant consideration for the discussion underway.

Will continued proliferation of huge solar farms cause a global temperature change in excess of what we can make by just burning fossil fuel?

It looks like that “they” have decided that our houses and out high speed train (which is still not actually in existence, not even 1% of it) will be powered in the future by home solar panels on each house and huge multi megawatt solar panel farms.

BTW, The recent photographs of bullet trains that have been published on thr web are fakes, because the only piece of a bullet train that exists here is an out-of-date mockup in the Sacramento railroad museum, where it has been sitting, and going radically out of style, for over a decade.

Of course they have not surprisingly underestimated the amount of power that will actually be necessary to supply every contingency and make the train 99.99% reliable. Nor have they mentioned huge power storage stations to smooth out yhe power.

Either that or they can just turn off the electric trains at night!

There will likely be a lot more panels out there than what they are telling us, and they will be imported from China according to the recent agreement made by our governor. He is currently fuming like a madman over the recent proposals to increase our trade tariffs.

So now are we going to put all these glass panels up and add significantly to the reflectivity of the earth?

I’ve always been told that a noticeable increase in reflectivity would trigger an Ice Age.

Hello; The rotation of the earth and it's "wobble" are dynamic, not at a steady state. If memory serves the moon was much closer in orbit in the past and now is further away. So then the tide effect of the moon is lessened. There were miles thick layers of ice covering the surface many times. At one time the entire globe was covered in ICE.
For me, without further evidence, I will remain somewhat skeptical of this polar shift being human caused.

I think the globe also has electromagnetic reluctance. The rotating magnetic field doesn’t ever quite catch up to the rotational axis. Like dragging a wake in the field.

The lost energy might appear as geothermal effect, and due to irregularities in Earth’s composition, it might be radically nonuniform in local cases.

Check out recent videos of Iceland.

That was Sierra Nevada in eons past. The Miles of deep ash has all weathered away.

Hello; I have two of those.
