If we are going to screw up the worlds cllimate we may as
well
do it properly, I think by flying out to a nearby asteroid and
using neuclear weapons to divert its path close enough to
earth to give the earth a little nudge we could tilt the axis
some more and cause the winters to be colder
and the
summers to be hotter, lets face facts, the seasons at the
moment are pretty lame, in winter if it gets cold enough to
snow then your not going to get much of a summer, and if
in
summer it gets nice and hot so your walking around in a pair
of boardies with no shirt then its unlikely that it will snow in
winter, with extreme seasons you can have the best of both
worlds, snow in winter and hot hot summer weather it
would
be great.

if the Sumerians knew about this then it must be true. [briandamage, Sep 05 2002, last modified Oct 05 2004]

I think you'll find that the impact itself, the massive volcanic eruptions and tidal waves that immediately follow, and the years-long winter caused by the dust clouds would collectively be more than enough to cure any survivors of the desire for more extreme weather. |

Just move to Alaska, for goodness' sake. |
|
| |
It may not need to hit the earth just pass close enough
to alter the axis so we get hotter summers and colder
winters. surf in summer snowboard in winter. |
|

If you want extremes, move to Siberia. All the snow you could want in the winter and hot summers. "Temperatures in Verkhoyansk have spanned 105 deg C (221 deg F): from -68 deg C (-90.4 deg F) to 37 deg C (98 deg F)." (Guinness Book of Records) |

Yeah ..... mosquitoes the size of Hummingbirds that wil eat their way through a corrugated iron roof for a whiff of Fresh English Tourist ....... |

Gulherme: while NASA seems to have a track record of just missing Mars when it wants to hit it, I really don't think the technology is there to guarantee the asteroid would just miss the Earth. |
|
| |
Why would a close pass alter the axis anyway? It's have to be a HUGE one to do that without impact. |
|
| |
We could do it with a series of lenses and mirrors in orbit round the earth: focus the sun's rays in certain places, and diminish them in others. No need to risk splitting the planet into lots of little pieces. |
|
| |
Out of curiosity [Gulherme]... what country do you reside
in? |
|
| |
<stamps foot in frustration>
Where in Australia? |
|
| |
ahhh thats for me to know, if you go through all my
annotations that I have ever posted then you might pick
up some clues. |
|
| |
{doesn't believe Gulherme lives in Australia} |
|
| |
Surely the easiest way to achieve this idea would be to remove the Earth's atmosphere. |
|
| |
Nah couldn't be bothered. I'm not going to hunt you
down and feed you to UnaBubba you know.
|
|
| |
I live at the end of the earth, well as close as you can
get. |
|
| |
Step one: get in your car.
Step two: turn on the heat.
Step three: when you start to melt into the seat, change the controls to full A.C. and park in the shade on a hill so as to tilt your axis.
Step four: play asteroids on your laptop. |
|
| |
yeah me and the 5 or so other people who live here have
to share the same computer, oh wait my horse drawn
carriage is here gotta go. |

Its just a rumour, but apparently, a planet called 'X', that is part of our solar system, but on a hugely eliptical orbit, is due to come barreling past Earth next March. Its going to (apparently) reverse our poles, cause all sorts of seismic and meteorlogical catastrophic events and wipe out most of life on earth. (s,pose it'll save mssrs. Bush, Blair and Howard doing it!) Its happened before and will happen again, apparently. Theres not much about it in the news, 'cos apparently the 'powers' dont want to frighten us! (how sweet). And apparently loads of the big observatories that watch for this sort of celestial behaviour, are 'closed for maintainence'. So, Gulherme(Perth?), it looks like your plan, tho' a good one in my opinion, is already in the pipeline. And like i've said before, its time to dust of the rhino-chaser,fire up the jet-ski and wait for the swell.......apparently! |

Damn beaten to the post by god yet again, that guy has it
in for me. Well its an event that I wouldnt want to miss,
glad I'll be around for it. |
|
| |
type planet X into google search and all will be revealed. Like I said tho' its just a rumour.....
see link. |
|
| |
YOU MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE????!@# |
|
| |
(Sarcasm aside, a big plussy mcplus to this idea. I'm all for anything that's x-treeeeeem.) |
|
| |
Maybe I don't understand what axis y'all are talkin about, but if its the one that defines our angle at which we face the sun, changing its angle would not make seasons hotter or colder. It would just change where these season gradients occur. |
