Global Warming Might Create Lopsided Planet

Polar sea ice formation and climate patterns drive large ocean circulation currents, which in turn affect local climates at moderate latitudes where most people live. A warmer world should fuel more precipitation, most experts agree. For Antarctica, the new study concludes, the extra precipitation will mean deeper snow, which will suppress sea ice below, making it thicker over time.
It's not flat, it's Play-Doh! |

Isn't the planet already lopsided? |

Well it's fatter around the middle, so it's kinda like a squashed ball, but this would be more like a squashed ball that's heavier at one end that the other. Think Weeble! |
