Earth Hour

He could go on virgin galactic, and wait till the fireworks go down.
Global warming is a myth, humans cause 3% of emissions that supposedly heat up the earth, I just can't wait till the next polar shift and hope England sits on the equator.

That's about right. We may cause even less, but my data is a few years old so it may have increased since then. But if we emit 3% of greenhosue gases and 97% are elminated by natural processes, then who bears the sole reponsibility for global warming?

 

[Asher]

Global warming is a misconception I believe. I don't have any facts, or data to back me up, I just know that it means nothing over the long run, much like the El Nino of the 90's. It simply couldn't matter less, except to some little fish off the coast of Peru or somethin. Anyways, a freaking asteroids gonna hit us, duh. But will we get off this rock before then? Only time will tell.

 

[Bellum]

We have the technology to deal with asteroids, if we find them in time.

And what exactly will that achieve? (oh, and how is that even possible)

Polar shift is when the magnetic field dies, this causes the world to turn onto new axis, the poles change to whatever happens to end up onto the top and bottom of the earth.
This has been proven, read the book as well, and search for it if you are not to bloody lazy!

I think he means humans will become extinct way earlier than that.

search for it if you are not to bloody lazy!

Type another o at the end of "to" if you're not too bloody lazy.

Earth's axis of rotation is determined by gravity, not magnetism. Eliminate the Earth's magnetic field (if such a thing were possible) and it would still be spinning on the same axis, and would continue to do so unless something happened to the Moon, Jupiter or the Sun. The magnetic poles switch over every few centuries, but apart from confusing birds (and probably the aviation and shipping industries) most people won't even notice it.

Only way you could get the UK to sit on the equator would be to roll the Earth's axis, which would require either a massive interstellar collision, or else a significantly large gravitational well you could use to pull or push the current pole over.

It says,I don't personally belive much of this its just that the author got some kind of recognition, that when the magnetic field dies,its already been measured to have lost 235 billion mega joules, the earth renews it by falling over on it' self, and then the book goes into alot of technical knowhow and Blah, of course the world would fall slowly, not in minuets or even days, but It could be anouther quack.

 

[Archonsod]

The magnetic field inverts every few centuries. It's not a big deal, beyond magnetic North slowly migrating Southwards. There's nothing you could do to the magnetic field which would cause the Earth to physically move, beyond finding an electromagnet about the size of the Sun anyway.
