An axial shift is a difficult concept for most people to wrap their minds
around. One too many disaster movies and most people, including a lot of
scientists, believe such a dramatic shift in the angle of the tilt would
be accompanied by Global destruction and disasters. Not true. This shift
is about a 2000 mile shift which leaves us 2000 miles further to the south
during the summer and 2000 miles farther to the north during the winter.
Spring and Fall would be at the same positions. Most people forget that
the Earth is about 25,000 miles in circumference, thus as the Earth
rotates on its axis, the entire planet turns just over 1042 miles every
hour and turns 25,000 miles every 24 hours. No global calamities, no
destruction.... none of us can feel our planet turning 1042 miles every
hour, so why would you believe that you could notice a 2000 mile shift?
And if we are not having global disasters from our hourly 1000 mile
rotation... then why would you think there would be global upheavals from
a 2000 mile shift? Yes, there are signs and effects from this shift, but
not in such a dramatic calamity. The changes are there but much more
sedate than the doomsday believers might expect. And shifts like these are
not unusual to our planet. There are numerous documentaries which describe
how Earth's axis has tipped over in past millennia when previous meltdowns
of the polar ice caps occurred creating a shift in the axis.
As the polar ice continues to melt, the weight distribution of the planet
begins to change. Since the diameter of the Earth is larger at the
equator, the weight of the planet is also heavier at the equator, so as
the ice melts at the poles, the water levels equalize and rise in an even
weight distribution which leaves less weight at the poles and more at the
planet's midsection based on girth. The more ice that melts, the less
weight at the poles and the planet begins to shift toward the heaviest
section at the bottom.
What happens if you take a rubber ball and add a metal strip around the
mid section to make it heavier... then float the ball in water? The heavy
point will be on the bottom, so the planet will continue to rotate, but it
will do so on it's side.
Since the ice does not melt in a day, the slippage in the axis will occur
in moderate amounts. Not all at once, but some shifts will be more
significant than others until the entire polar ice has been completely
melted and the planet ends up laying on its side. The focus on this page
is the shift which has already occurred.
However, according to an Aug 2007 report on CNN, world scientists have
estimated total polar meltdown by 2020. This date also coincides with the
US Gov't estimate that there will be a global water shortage in 2020.
Since a full meltdown will raise sea levels by 297 ft (20 stories), a lot
of water tables and water sources will be contaminated. Not only by sea
water, but by the contamination which will mix with the water as it covers
the cities, factories and chemical plants. So, it is interesting that both
have fixated on the same year.
Some scientists believe the meltdown could occur 5 years sooner. From what
I have seen of the current condition of the polar regions and the rate of
melting, I believe we could see a total meltdown by 2013. The first week
of July 2008, CNN reported that world scientists expected a complete
melting of the arctic by Sept 2008. Right now, the gov't is limiting
access to current satellite imagery of the polar regions. Most of the
images are dated 1999 and earlier. For those images later than 1999, they
have all been censored or modified to block the view. Why would the images
be kept from the public... unless there is something they don't want you
to see.
Unfortunately, most people will be in denial until the water starts
lapping at their doorstep... and then they will all cry for someone else
to do something about it. People are their own worst enemies. They refuse
to listen to scientific data, attack anyone who does not share their
opinion and then they want everyone else to fix their problems that they
had refused to acknowledge. And when they get desperate, these will be the
people who will prey on and victimize those who planned ahead. It would
seem to me that everyone should start planning ahead to take care of their
own needs and stop attacking those people who are trying to help them
understand what is happening to our planet.
