The earth weighs 6*10^24 kg. You are talking about moving around about 3*10^16kg. I understand that the answer does depend on how far we move the water away from the spin axis, but probably not significant.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

While little should surprise anymore, this somewhat did. In thousands of schools across (but fortunately not throughout the US) children are denied knowledge. Someone made a nice correlation noting that the states that are the most creationist-friendly/truth-adverse are also those in which youre okay marrying your cousins or siblings (of opposite sex).
Creationism in public schools, mapped. Where tax money supports alternatives to evolution. For a while I pondered whether the proponents of creationism are evil or intellectually challenged - then it became clear to me, they are both at the same time. I honestly cannot think of a group of people Id loath more than these - I cannot bring myself to hate anyone but...

The end is nigh!
Freezing Out the Bigger Picture - The New York Times What this tells us is that our ability to make decisions as a group is so hopelessly inadequate to the task at hand that we will carry right on until half of us drown and the other half starve.
It gets wackier: People surveyed in a hot room are more likely to say global warming is real, compared with folks in a cold room. Our rational minds may know the temperature is being controlled by a thermostat, but the logic somehow breaks down before we answer the survey questions.

There is something to be said for an authoritarian government. At least something moves forward, even if it is in the wrong direction at times. It is no wonder that the French overthrew their king only to turn around and give it over to Emperor Napoleon.

36 is 6 over historical average. Which means absolutely nothing

This week in Phoenix the temp has been in the upper 80s. Well above average for Feb. Next week, however, the temp is expected in the low-mid 70s.
That means that next week we will be wiping out all of that global war from this week!
