The North Pole can not move any more "north" than it currently is. It can move any other direction other than north.

What they have not said was. We have screwed the Earth up. And sometime down the road. IT's going to screw us up big time. Count on it!

Number 4 is wrong, it should read: the moon makes the earth habitable.

You cannot fall through the earth, since gravity would allow you to go to the center of the globe, and then it would start to slow you down.

You are wrong in one aspect. The Earth has the name of a Roman god, Cibeles. It is common knowledge among astronomers and students that pay attention in class.

Danny More, Climate has been changing since the beginning. The climate change summit makes more pollution than any other individual flying in private jet.

There have been a number of times in earth's history where the north and south magnetic poles have swapped positions. We are 'due' f(in the next 2 or 3 thousand years for such a switch. Plus the moon would make the earth 'habitable' not 'inhabital'

Well then, if the Earth is the only planet not named for a Greek or Roman god, then who named the Earth, "Earth?"

With reference to the North Pole question it is the Magnetic pole that moves not True North! It is accounted for on maps and charts used for Navigation.
