Cold weather, another hit for the Cs?

More than 80 dead in European winter weather

More than 80 people have died across Europe as days of snow storms and sub-zero temperatures swept the continent, causing traffic chaos for millions.

At least 42 people have frozen to death in Poland over the last three days and another 27 in Ukraine.

Another 13 people died in car accidents in Austria, Finland and Germany, where temperatures fell to -33C (-27F).

Air, rail and road transport links were disrupted across northern Europe where more snow was expected in coming days.

Most of the 42 people who froze to death in the country over the weekend were homeless, police said.

Cant find the transcripts quote right now, but it's one about "glacial rebound happens much much faster than previously thought" and that it would happen "over Eurasia first."

If the recent weather extreme weather in certain parts isn't evidence of this and what is to come, I don't know what is!

Is this it?

[quote author=Session 970222]
Q: (L) All right, were those given in the order in which they
are occurring? The fourth being the one that's coming later?
A: Maybe, but remember this: a change in the speed of the
rotation may not be reported while it is imperceptible except
by instrumentation. Equator is slightly "wider" than the polar
zones. But, this discrepancy is decreasing slowly currently.
One change to occur in 21st Century is sudden glacial
rebound, over Eurasia first, then North America. Ice ages
develop much, much, much faster than thought. [Discussion of
new scientific theory recently presented that the earth is
expanding.]
Q: (T) Is the Earth expanding? That's just putting it bluntly,
but, is the Earth expanding, how did you put that? (Ark) Yes,
that's the theory: the idea is that the continents move away
because the Earth is expanding, and this is much faster than
you know, than geologists were thinking.
A: Continental "drift" is caused by the continual though
variable, propelling of gases from the interior to the surface,
mainly at points of magnetic significance.
Q: (J) What causes the change in the axis?
A: By slow down of rotation. Earth alternately heats up and
cools down in interior.
Q: (L) Why does it do that? What's the cause of this?
A: Part of cycle related to energy exerted upon surface by the
frequency resonance vibrational profile of humans and others.[/quote]

That's the one!

Conincidence, I just read an article on calendars that mentions the earth's changing speed of rotation:

Time in the future

Modern astronomy tells us that a year is, to within one day in a million years, 365.242199 days long. The Julian calendar put 1 year as 365.25 days, for an error of 7.8 days per 1000 years. The Gregorian calendar put 1 year as 365.2425 days, for an error of 0.3 days every 1000 years. The astronomer Sir John Herschel proposed that the year 4000 and every 4,000th year after should not be a leap year in order to reduce this remaining error to about half a day every 10,000 years, but the standard has not yet been adopted. New calendars have been proposed (mostly to solve the problem of figuring out which day of the week any given date is) but the Gregorian calendar’s ordering of leap years is sufficient to keep the calendar aligned to the seasons as far into the future as we need.

Well, almost. At this scale we begin to see that the speed at which the Earth rotates on its axis isn’t constant, or even predictable. The pull of the moon’s gravity is slowing the rotation of the Earth, making each day longer by a fairly constant 2.3 milliseconds per century, but other factors, most notably shifting mass on and inside the planet, add to or subtract from this by a different amount every year. Since 1967, when the length of a second was standardized in precise atomic terms, days have been between 0.3 and 1 ms longer than the traditional 24 * 60 * 60 = 86,400 seconds. As a result, every once in a while astronomers add a “leap second” to UTC, Coordinated Universal Time. Surprisingly, while just about every year between 1972 and 1999 required a leap second to keep the clock synchronized with the Earth’s rotation, there have only been two leap seconds added in the last ten years. The Earth has sped up just a bit, and no one knows why.
