Talk:Chandler wobble

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Seems extreme to call Chandler wobble the "cause"

This seems to be rather extreme:

theorised as the cause of major tectonic activity, including earthquakes, volcanism, El Niño, and global warming phenomenon

Would it be more correct to say:

theorised as the chaotic trigger of major tectonic activity, including earthquakes, volcanism, El Niño, and global warming phenomenon

That is, the wobble might be the nudge that pushes an event over the top such as nudging a supersaturated solution or superheated liquid?

Are you just saying the following because the information was released on Coast to Coast AM, or have you actually checked the data yourself?

During a national radio broadcast on 28 January 2006, Lloyd Stewart Carpenter reported that the Chandler wobble has stopped (i.e., its amplitude has reduced to zero) -- which could be a harbinger of a catastrophic pole shift.

I don't think it's fair to call this completely unfounded.
