    Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have found that climate change is now affecting the way that the Earth moves. The team found that, as the last century has progressed, the "wobble" that our planet makes as it travels has shifted. A hundred years ago this movement -- called polar motion -- was tilted in favor of Canada, but has now moved in the direction of the UK. In an of itself, the shift won't cause any damage, but the fact that climate change is now having this sort of effect should cause everyone to get nervous.
