The Fukishima 9.2 earthquake in Nov. 2016 was so powerful that it shifted the earth's axis more than 6 inches and slowed down the erth's orbit to the point that it changed the length of the day a couple of microseconds. NASA's first response was "don't worry, be happy" but a shift in the Earth's axis has to impact the sun's energy and the weather fluctuations. If a plane's navigation system is off by six inches on takeoff, an international flight might be off by hundreds of miles. The freakish weather we see today with Austin Texas enduring ice storms when the normal Feb. temp is around 60 degrees isn't about global warming, it's about the jet stream changing it's normal flow. Maybe the money is in MMGW so collages and universities and NASA aren't interested in researching the effects of a gigantic natural event.

I lived in Austin in 1999 and we had a couple of icestorms then too.....so what?
 
The earth does indeed change its precision angle over time.. 6 inches however, is nothing to worry about as the angle of incidence is now 25.4 degrees. Coincidently this is the angle where glaciation begins to occur on the earth.

Not convinced here because Texas had these polar flows before the Earthquake occurred.
