Hot! Hot! Hot!

I know it has me very fustrated and trying to figure out a scientific reason for this change in weather pattern.

You know, earthquakes are quite an interest to me. I've heard that some scientist somewhere calculated after the 9.0 Indonesia quake in December that this earthquake's upthrust was SO violent, more violent than any of the other 9-pointers in the last century (including the two Alaskan ones that also produced deadly tsunamis), that it actually shifted the earth on its axis very very slightly, like millimeters, or even less. I heard that this has happened before in the earth's history, but it was before recorded history. This was very small change, but it makes you wonder if it was "large enough" to cause a slight alteration in weather patterns around the globe.

Food for thought!
