The Best Of Pravda
It is good to know that America does not have a monopoly on junk science. Seems the Russians also believe there are going to be some sea level problems in the future. They; however, are far more creative than global warming.
This might explain that thing on his head.
I'm betting it was grape juice. Jokes aside, it is really sad people miss the USSR.
What do you think this man is stealing?
Creativity points are due on this one.
The main spherical objects that are rolling on the Earth's surface are water molecules. They spread around the Earth long time ago and formed the level of the World Ocean, i.e. the surface where the water molecule itself does not roll in any direction as the sum of the forces involved equals zero. The points of the World Ocean at the equator are located 6378,245 kilometers from the center of the Earth while the points of the pole are located 6356,863 kilometers making the difference of 21,382 kilometers.By that bit of nearly incomprehensible reasoning, I think it's good the glaciers are supposed to be melting.
In other words, transferring a glass of water from the pole to the equator is similar to lifting it to the height of 21 kilometers and 382 meters. The World Ocean's level is a surface where the water molecules maintain equilibrium. However, if we place a spherical object that is larger then water molecule in diameter it will start rolling because its centre of gravity is farther from the Earth's centre as well as from the Earth's rotation axis.
Therefore, gravitation that affects each of its molecules decreases, whereas by contrast centrifugal force increases. This means that in the end this spherical object will gain the mentioned speed of 463 meters per second! Imagine, what kind of danger is hiding in the mountain glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica!
This might explain that thing on his head.
