having to cause in effect of the oceans rising and creating a Tsunami. Ironically before I went to bed last night I was watching the Discovery Channel and the subject was the Dec 26th Tsunami I never knew that The length of day was shortened by 2.68 microseconds from the 9.0 earthquake does this explain the off the wall weather? the Hurricanes etc...Call me paronoid but I just got freaked out! to me 2.68 microseconds is an impact on our earth.
What does this mean for our future? does it mean anything? Scientist are predicting a whole bunch of weather Phenomenon in our future I don't know about you guys but I am a bit worried about our future
Thanks,
M

Scientists: Quake May Have Made Earth Wobble
Dec 29 2004 - CNN.com
The deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth's rotation, shortening days by a fraction of a second and caused the planet to wobble on its axis. Richard Gross, a geophysicist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, theorized that a shift of mass toward the Earth's center during the quake Sunday caused the planet to spin 3 microseconds, or millionths of a second, faster and to tilt about an inch on its axis. An added wobble of an inch is unlikely to cause long-term effects, Gross said[/color]
Experts: New Data Show Global Warming
Apr 28 2005 - Yahoo-Associated Press
Climate scientists armed with new data from deep into the ocean and far into space have found the Earth is absorbing more heat that it gives off, a conclusion they say validates projections of global warming. James Hansen, lead scientist for the study and a NASA climatologist, described the findings on the planet’s out-of-balance energy exchange as a “smoking gun” that should dispel doubts about forecasts of climate change. A European climate expert called the finding “a valuable contribution to climate research.”[/color]
