gizmodo Climate Change Has Knocked Earth Off Its Axis

[UltraMega]

  Quote

The findings, published last month in Geophysical Research Letters, uses satellites that track gravity to track what researchers call “polar drift.” While we think of gravity as a constant, it’s actually a moving target based on the shape of the planet. While earthquakes and other geophysical activities can certainly play a role by pushing land around, it’s water that is responsible for the biggest shifts. The satellites used for the study, known as GRACE and GRACE-FO, were calibrated to measure Earth’s shifting mass.

Only if you're down under where the toilets like to flush backwards.

I hope The Netherlands will shift a bit to the North, I prefer cold weather...

Oh, and the USA a bit closer would be good too. Like driving distance..

[EHW Ai]

I'd like that. I'd be able to get patat met pindasaus again.

 

oh, and real drop.

...or you could just move to Alert on Ellesmere Island, would be easier / quicker than waiting for The Netherlands moving North significantly...

...see map above, think seal meat with your potato fries (but avoid becoming polar bear dinner yourself).

That's a bit extreme, I think Iceland would be perfect.

Just stop, you are moving into the dungeon. We've already discussed this. I called dibs on you you months ago.

...and yet - as Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the NW Passage showed - when it gets to avoid being eaten up there, you might have more to worry about re. your crew-mates...

...not so hasty ! Check out the average temp at Alert and think of a massive folding (and similar use cases  ) setup re. cooling. Also, your food freezer is as big as you want and won't take away any precious Watts from your computing endeavors...on the other hand, I don't think you can get Ueber Eats deliveries up there

Oh I know, I'm almost done packing! Let me know when you have those solar panels set up, that'll be my cue.

 Jeez, that's a colder average as my freezer at home! The summer days would be pretty nice, but those record low temps are a bit too much. It would be good for record benchmarks and the folding temps, but the Quick Return Bonus would be pretty low. Pretty sure they send a carrier pigeon with a letter instead of a text because there is no connection, though I'm not sure those birds will survive..

...it's a military base, with plenty of satellite connections - and big Hercules aircraft for transport. In-flight service may lack, though
