Baaawahaha! Next Fear Mongering Movement Starts

Feb 18, 2010 2:17AM PST

Have fun, LOL, reading the next idiocy to come along from the Fear Mongering Gang and their desire to make everyone else to dance to their silly tunes. Every time you think you've gotten one group of them straightened out, along comes another group of them even sillier than the last ones.

"The change in the mass of the earth due to the extraction of fossil fuel from the earth? crust, is changing the moment of inertia of the earth because the extraction is at the farthest distance from the axis of rotation. Thus a small change in the mass in the earth crust will affect the moment of inertia substantially. In order to conserve the angular moment ( L = IW), the angular frequency of the earth on its own axis as well as around the sun, must change. On the other hand the extraction of fossil fuels may not be uniform throughout the earth, as the extraction in northern hemisphere is reported to be much higher than in southern hemisphere which may cause weight imbalance around the axis of rotation of the earth as well as around the sun. This may result in the change of the angle of tilt of the earth. This change in the tilt may be a very important factor, contributing in changing the climate at various places of the earth."
