“Climate change is causing the North Pole’s location to drift, owing to subtle changes in Earth’s rotation that result from the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. The finding suggests that monitoring the position of the pole could become a new tool for tracking global warming.”

The earth’s magnetic poles tend to swap ends about every 200 to 300,000 years, due to our molten iron core. This is pretty much an accepted scientific fact. So, let me understand, the last swap was about 500,000 years ago, and scientist agree this is correct. Okay, that being the case, what I want to know is what corporations were around a half million years ago when the poles last shifted? And please don’t say it was big oil, the Koch brothers or Haliburton.
This reminds of when, as a lad, my father took me to physics and chemistry conferences in San Francisco. There I saw leading scientists from their fields examine the presentations of others from their fields. Many a research paper presentation was dissected and either dismissed or gained interest.
This is one of those papers which, I believe, should rightly be dismissed as hogwash. Any supposed correlation between polar ice sheets and global warming does exist.

Fred Singer on the Global Warming “consensus con game” is must reading.
Meanwhile, America’s Secretary of State, John Kerry is once again floating the crazy meme that climate change is “the world’s most fearsome weapon of mass destruction”.
Translation …now that we’ve scrapped the war and made nice with the real threats we can spend your money on things that really matter to the GW investor class…and hopefully the dupes will help return Democrats to office in November.
