The earthquake that caused the tsunami moved Japan something like 2 feet closer to the US. I read that they thought the variation on the axis tilt would self-correct as ocean waters would dampen the immediate effects over time. Climate Changee types struggle with the concept that we live on a dynamic planet. That's how they can believe absurdities like there is an average temperature of earth, 420 parts per million CO2 when downwind of rainforests CO2 measures over 3000 ppm at times and near zero at the poles.. Ignorance is a horrible waste of brain cellls.
