Now stop and think for a couple minutes.
How much weight has man moved to different locations on the planet from where it was originally?
How much weight has nature moved to different locations over the last 200 years?
Mining, moving minerals, building cities is just a start of that list.
And remember, man did influence what nature moved with cutting trees, paving ground, moving dirt and plowing ground for a start of a list of ways man altered what nature is doing.
Wonder how much we have altered the weight distribution of the planet?
Wonder how much affect that has on how it spins or orbits?
There is no going back to what was here originally, no matter how hard we try.
So it will come down to can we adapt, or if not we will follow the dinosaurs.

Governments controls the population using fear.
First it was the "Cold War and nuclear destruction. When that finally ended peacefully, then the environmental movement was born and took its place. Now governments control us using the threat that we, humans, are destroying the planet. Whole multi-million dollar industries have a vested interests in making sure we believe humans frack up nature.
This is all about behavior control.
I choose not to play that game any longer.
It is 80 degrees at 8:30 am here in the Caribbean and I am going swimming.

Hey star, here's a thought on "global Warming". You know where i am. They said on the beaumont CBS station that this is the First time as far as their records go that there has been snow in their viewing area 2 years in a row. Both being in december. Granted we didnt get very much, but it was still some. We started yesterday morning at 40. By lunch it was 34 and snowing and overnight it got down to 21 here at my house. Global warming is rising the temps, but yet we are about 90 miles north on the Gulf and about 90 miles north east of houston. we are not supposed to get snow. by now out temps SHOULD be upper 50's to 60 for highs, and mid 40's for lows. Where is the freaking warm at? P.S. It's 10am and it is a whopping 35 with bluebird skies at the moment.

I was watching the Weather Channel this morning
Houston has had snow on the ground two years in a row before NYC had snow on the ground.
Also this was the most snow on the ground this early since 1897.
Texas may have had more snow yesterday that we did, but that was yeaterday.
4" on the grassy areas and still snowing hard right now.
Heading out to mount the plow shortly since the roads are starting to be a mess.
31 degrees now, low 20's tonight.

Well I was raised in the gulf coast area and all my life we had a small snow about every 10 years. Don't you listen to gore even though it is colder global warming is still happening and all we have to do to stop it is get rid of all human life, that way nobody will know what the temps are.

Infinitesimally if that. The universal gravitational constant remains the same. The mass of the earth is gigantic compared to all of the structures combined man has ever constructed. Magnetism plays a greater role in the pole shift (or tilt of axis) on Earth and even then it really doesn't impact earth's orbit as such. An axis shift will impact the axis on which the earth rotates. Earth is constantly going through axis shifts.
The amount of mass that man has directly moved is a relatively small number compared to the mass on earth.
But you also have to take into consideration errosion that has occoured as a result of things man has done.
1/4 ounce of weight on a wheel is also a rather small percent of the weight of the tire and wheel, but that 1/4 ounce can make a huge difference while driving.
Just like boosting power on an IDI engine, other than installing a turbo the mods you do will only result in a small change in HP.
But with enough small increases, it does eventually add up to much more.

I just got word that my sisters pu got totalled in beaumont yesterday, imagine that.
I have seen snow down there 3 times and the best thing to do was sit at the window and watch the wrecks.
