Global warming: Melting of Greenland and Antarctica is moving the North and South poles
New research suggests that the melting of the ice sheets is shifting the location of the Earth's spin axis, meaning the North and South poles are moving. "If we lose mass from the Greenland ice sheet, we are essentially putting mass...
