Something strange is happening to our planet. Around the year 2000, the North rotational pole started migrating eastward at a vigorous clip. Now, scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have figured out whats going onand youll be shocked to learn that humans are behind it....
...Through careful observations and mathematical models, Adhikari has discovered that our planets recent polar wanderlust has two causes: the melting of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, and changes in the global distribution of water stored on land. Both of these are related to a single underlying phenomenon. The bottom line is that climate change is driving the motion of the polar axis, Adhikari said. His findings are published in Science Advances today....
