Latest Panic Porn: Climate crisis has shifted the Earth’s axis

[Stryder50]

CRISIS YOU KNOW!
Because melting glaciers and you spitting in the ocean!

We can’t measure it, just trust us this threat is REAL and never happened since the earth was formed!

SPOILER ALERT - we’ve known the axis rotates for centuries.

Climate crisis has shifted the Earth’s axis, study shows

Massive melting of glaciers has tilted the planet’s rotation, showing the impact of human activities

www.theguardian.com

The models show that is was AGW, who can argue that????

Uranus is tilted on its side.....cuz manmade Global warming!!!

Uranus tilted on it's side, about 87 degree axial tilt, pointing one pole towards the Sun essentially, "suggests" something very massive passing through the solar system and close by Uranus looong ago to gravity pull it over.

Hmmm ???

It drifted towards 28 degrees east longitude; ie, towards the Eastern Hemisphere.

But when the earth rotates on its axis 12 hours that is West. They don't even know what they're talking about.

The Eastern and Western Hemispheres are fixed to the Earth. They do not change as the Earth rotates. Look at the GPS in your phone. If you aren't moving, it's not going to change. If what you're thinking were true, it would show you traveling about 1,000 mph.

Duhhh!

That's because GPS is human made satellites orbiting Earth, locked in it's gravity field.

However, the continents have moved, usually at rather slow pace, over the millions~billions of years as a result of plate tectonics. They still are moving, slowly ....

I was responding to poster justinacolmena who claimed that every 12 hours, east and west are swapped.

The GPS system is not fixed to the Earth's surface by gravity. The parameters of the satellite constellation's orbits are determined with extreme precision once established. That information is NOT used by the satellites, but by the receivers via the ephemeris data they download. Basically, all the satellites do is broadcast their IDs and the time on their atomic clocks.

Argh !!!

I said "Earth's gravity field", not "surface by gravity", which is a characteristic of any thing that orbits Earth (and different things/concepts). I was trying to keep it simple.

FWIW;

They change every day. Europe is an inch further now than it was a year ago.

And unless you are a sanctioned and authorized military receiver (mostly USA) the location given from GPS will be a "few yards" off of REAL ~ mostly to prevent others (such as "terrorists" and/or enemies of the USA/West) from using for accurate targeting purposes.

That's outdated information. The military dithering codes have long since been cracked by every commercial receiver on the shelf. Every cell phone I've ever used is accurate to the inch on GPS.

Interesting!

Something useful to know, if true/accurate. Have a source or three you could cite for reference and backup?

Kind of tips the scales if true. ....

That was called Selective Availability and was turned off in 2000 during the Clinton Administration

Here is the actual reference for the latitude/longitude system

IERS Reference Meridian - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It is "not quite" fixed to the Earth due to continental drift. The International Reference Meridian (IRM) is intended to cut the mass of the Earth into two equal hemisphere: east and west.

Bill clinton eliminated that rule you can get to inches now off of a gps

 

[Crick]

A basic commercial GPS is good to a couple meters. Add a differential base station to it and you can get sub-meter. Post-process your position data using digitized carrier wave data and you can get fixes within 5 cm. That sort of correction can be done in near real time if you're willing to spend $10,000+ for your receivers.

Can they keep up with the constant shifting of the ground caused by mankind?

 

[Crick]

GPS can generally provide a fix in X, Y and Z once a second. To what "shifting" do you refer?

 

[mamooth]

For a plain GPS receiver, unaided by ground station corrections, 2-5 meters is a typical horizontal error in wide-open terrain. Significant tree and/or building cover in the area will double that average error. Vertical error is about twice that.

People on the ground generally don't have to worry about vertical error, but aircraft trying to make a precison landing in bad weather do. 10 meter accuracy is not good enough to land a plane. That's where the WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) satellites come in. There are currently 3 of them in geostationary orbits over the USA. They broadcast signal corrections. If you have a WAAS-enabled receiver -- generally only found on aircraft -- it gets the average errors down to 0.9m horizontal, 1.3m vertical.

Differential GPS error-correcting systems are entirely ground-based. They're more local, so they quantify local errors better and provide more accuracy, but theyr'e not suitable for a nationwide air traffic control system.

Atmospheric signal distortion and multipath are the main error sources. The military signal, which has definitely not been cracked, is broadcast on two different frequences. That allows for most of the aforementioned errors to be removed. The military signal is also much more jamming-resistant. And military units usually have much better antennas.

 

[Crick]

Selective availability - the military's added precision - was turned off (the decryption algorithm was released) in May of 2000 by Bill Clinton. The military has very good receivers but they are working with the exact same signal data as everyone else.
