The Earth has tilted 31.5 inches and its all a result of human activity.

The way the planet rotates has been fundamentally changed by the process of pumping groundwater, and it is having a far bigger impact than previously imagined.

As a result, sea levels have risen .24 inches in less than two decades and the Earth has tilted 31.5 inches.

    As a result, sea levels have risen .24 inches in less than two decades and the Earth has tilted 31.5 inches.

    You don’t think that has a huge impact? Really?

      Read his comment again. He’s saying sea level rise and axis tilt are both effects of a common cause. Without including the sea level rise, since it’s not an effect of the axial tilt, what is the huge impact of the change in the tilt?
