Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 16845676 United States 07/08/2013 06:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Currently, Earth has a significant upward bulge at the equator, and a downward bulge at the poles. "Observations of the Earth's gravity field show that some phenomena are counteracting the gravitational effects of post-glacial rebound. Whereas the rebound has been decreasing the bulge in the Earth's gravity field at the equator, this recent phenomena is causing the bulge to increase," Cox said. Such changes in the gravity field can be sensed using ultra precise laser tracking of satellites to observe tiny changes in the orbits of those satellites and by tracking changes in the length of day or rotation of the Earth.

Around the middle of the 1990s, they noticed that the trend reversed and the Earth was getting fatter, like a ball squeezed at the top and bottom -- but until recently they didn't have the tools to understand why.

"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

Quoting: Goofy for God [link to www.livescience.com] Good read, I know of this story well. Only problem we face is irregular distribution of water weight. Melting ice at the poles is uniform in balance, 360 degrees of ice. But as it melts and travels to the equator, it can not spread evenly due to land mass. The largest amount of extra weight will be in the Pacific, the rest in the Atlantic, some in the Indian. This will make any spinning object wobble and be forces to change rotation. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5011511 science I bet you couldn't measure the small variations in the acceleration? It is very obvious gravity CAN change mildly enough where YOU can not measure it with your human senses. |

That is ominous if we do not know what is causing the change. on reading the link, I like your observations, gfG, but the link is using this change to promote global warming alarmism. if ice sheets melting are indeed causing this change, it is normal. the Ice Ages of the Earth represent ENORMOUS times of ice melting, every time an Ice Age receded. So this has happened many times before, and is a natural cycle for the Earth, if the idea at the link is true. But being related in timing is not proof of causation.
