How would you look to the current climate debate when Greenland 'came' from the North pole?

What if Greenland was actually on the North pole, shifted to its current location, and we simply don't know that? It might be hard to imagine for some of us who are quite stuck in their ideas.

Wouldn't that change the climate debate forever? What do you think?

Spot doesn't understand a hypothetical scenario. This would explain spot's inherent difficulty with word problems and inabilty to work with basic math.

Why spot considers science to be a sinister conspiracy is a mystery, but I'm sure the truth is out there.

Indeed that seems so. Even the hypothetical question 'what if' seems to be overlooked. What more would they be overlooking?

I suppose warmizombies are focused on glorifying "Climate" and that they don't want to get distracted by hypotheticals that might permit science to slip in and threaten the dogma.

Of course it can't be ruled out that poles have shifted and that other mechanisms are in place that we still have no clue about, let alone understanding how they happen. It became clear to me what the end of the last ice age probably erased watching Graham Hancock years ago.

When Greenland would be have been on the North pole and shifted to its current location, it would be melting very slowly. Like switching an ice cream from a freezer to a cold fridge. Wouldn't that be a logical reason why it is melting anyway? And wouldn't we see a kind of 'bouncing up' effect? Our current warming?

When a polar region shifts to a warmer region, and a warmer region to the polar region, what would your global readout be on your thermometer? (the temperature proxies in this case)

What would happen when you're researching ice ages and you've no idea that the crust has shifted. How would your interpretations look like?

How exactly do you propose that Greenland suddenly (in geologic terms) shifted from the North Pole to its current location? Continents drift slowly across the magma; they don't suddenly decide to scuttle a couple of thousand miles. And the axis of rotation of the Earth can't just change by itself; they would violate conservation of angular momentum. What you are proposing is simply physically impossible.

Didn't it suddenly scuttle along with the unprecedented change in emissivity and the change in earth's radius to compensate for T?

Conservation of angular momentum goes out the door when you toss out the laws of physics. Maybe the axis suddenly changed when the earth's temperature increased but its radiance decreased. That's probably when it happened.

He hasn't revealed what he thinks is the mechanism for "wandering" poles. I am quite curious how that could work:-)

The only thing that I could imagine is that the axis was "adjusted" because of the weight of Antarctica causing a centering effect. It's certainly not something I could describe using physics.

And besides, it's not about whether any of us could imagine it, now, is it?

No, that's a too superficial view. You now regard earth as one complete solid object, while it consists of multiple parts: heavy solid, heavy liquid, light solid and light liquid. Preservation of angular momentum where you're talking about is a composition of these parts. So, regarding the preservation of angular momentum we can split up earth in several compositions.

Celestial objects react in their rotation speed when the eccentricity of their orbit changes, which is also part of the preservation of this same angular momentum.

Measurements have shown that the closer earth comes to the sun the slower it rotates. Which law governs this phenomenon? Science simply lacks knowledge here.

When you talk about the conservation of angular momentum, you could try to imagine what happens with the different masses of the earth that will react on this change in rotation speed. There could be a threshold where the system as a whole becomes unstable. Can you imagine this?

The crust will be held in its position by the syrupy properties of the asthenosphere until the differences in angular momentum will reach a threshold and the crust can break loose. Because earth rotates around its axis, this reaction will be perpendicular to this rotation axis.

The heavier parts might react less intense on eccentric changes than the heavier inner parts.

What if you knew that Greenland was once on the North pole? How would that change your attitude towards all the climate phenomenons we are seeing today?

It's crucial to let your imagination work to make any scientific progress.
