Another thing to consider is that you live in Yorkshire, where the sun always shines.
This is very true!

Re: Did the Earth move?

I thought it maybe had something to do with all these people coming from the East to live here in the West and unbalancing everything!

Mind you - I have had a couple of glasses of Malbec this evening!

I think they are talking about the magnetic poles - I could be wrong but the information they provide fits with the movements more recently of the magnetic poles. Poorly written article because it is not clear.

Re: Did the Earth move?

The magnetic poles switched about 780,000 years ago , which is way past the average period of about 200,000 years so we are overdue for a switch.

Re: Did the Earth move?

Today, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5° from the plane of its orbit around the sun. But this tilt changes. During a cycle that averages about 40,000 years, the tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5°. Because this tilt changes, the seasons as we know them can become exaggerated.
