Climate Change Contributes To Shifting Poles: An article, by Richard A. Lovett, in Nature says that scientists have recorded that both the North and South poles are shifting more than usual, a result attributed to climate change. Global warming is changing the location of Earth’s geographic poles, according to a study in Geophysical Research Letters1.Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, report that increased melting of the Greenland ice sheet — and to a lesser extent, ice loss in other parts of the globe — have helped to shift the North Pole several centimetres east each year since 2005. “There was a big change,” says geophysicist and lead author Jianli Chen. perryjgreenbaum.blogspot.ca/2013/06/climate-change-contributes-to-shifting.html
