It pulls the earth out of shape and mucks up global positioning and earthworms and stuff?

Yes, and not only does it affect the land, it also affects everything else comprised of atoms, which is everything-Including You!!\nDepending on which side of the earth you are on, or which side you are closest to. If you are on the moon side then  you actually wiegh less because the earth and moon are both pulling on you, but in opposite directions, thus the moon diminishes the earths gravittional pull on you if even only by a tiny amount. If you are on the side opposite the moon, then the earth and moon have a combined pull, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on you. \nAll mass has this same affect on all other mass, however it is more evident when there are large masses involved, such as the moon.\n\nHappy full moon.

what a hunk of garbage its become\nb

Hell no, all humans will die from some crisis or big disaster, or maybe the earth will be swallowed by some black hole (Actually it's happening) scientist found out that our galaxy is being sucked by some Massive black hole.\n\nI just don't want to be there when it happens :D

Google earth takes much of system process. because when you load many parts of the world its process will be so heavy. so when you dont use this close it.

All space garbage should be recycled and composted into an ecosystem. Thats the complicated set of chemistry questions that goes wtih that particular problem.\n\nUsing large enough diameters and centripetal force we can generate strong enough and stable enough pseudo\ngravity to compensate for that problem. A chemical problem with a civil engineering fix.

The Earth is a balanced system. Changes within certain parameters may sway the system this way or that, but won't throw it out of balance completely. \nSo yes, the Earth can compensate for changes caused by global warming, but only to a certain extent.

Actually, I do believe that this is exactly what happened.  And I also believe that we are doing exactly the same thing to earth.\n\nThe arctic ice is melting, hurricanes are getting worse, the ozone layer around the earth has 3 confirmed holes---and as the weather goes for the last 2 or 3 years:  I would say that something is seriously out of balance.....and if you watch the discovery channel often enough then you probably have watched the reports on the rivers---how man has straightenend them out with their dams and that the Mississippi River will one day be as big as it used to be......meaning that you cannot see the other side of the river(big as a sea the old indians described it).  \n\nGlobal warming is a reality.  And the responsibility needs to go to those chemical factories that refuse to add enough cleaning devices to prevent that all those chemicals get into the air.  All over Europe will you find such obligations for all big factories---but the United States wants to save money....the only thing that can be done is if the entire world has one uniform rule and abides by that.  It makes little sense that a country like China can pollute all theu want to----the air is not stagnant, clouds travel, so all their dirt in the air can very well pollute the rest.\nIt also has been established that the axis of the globe has shifted slightly--so again, we are headed toward a huge disaster.  I am old, I am probably dead when it happens, but I do have children....they will have to live through it

No Definitely not. Man could never tame or alter the path of the plates. However I do believe he may have alredy implemented change on the Convection currents. Global warming was probably helped by man during the Industrial revolution and has gone on ever since. Dont just blame America. I have seen some appalling instances of Major pollution in India and several other third world countries. It is a global thing and all countries of the world are guilty of some form of pollution.

It doesn't really need to move, since it's a shell that covers the whole Earth.  It's a bit thinner in some places, like the poles (especially the south pole) but it generally protects every spot on Earth at the same time.  Imagine a ball within a ball...  The innner ball is the Earth, and the outer ball is the ozone layer.

I worry more about mass extinction events like an asteroid impact or finding out that giant aliens have just been raising humanity as a food source to harvest en masse. Bird flu might do a job on us or some alien organism brought back by space exploration which our bodies are unable to manufacture antibodies. Maybe global nuclear conflict will leave the earth a smoking glow-in-the-dark beacon rotating and wobbling in the solar system. Excuse me I have to go find my aluminum foil hat to block the gamma rays. Wait what if planet Jupiter is a brown dwarf star and decides to go nova? What if the sun flames out? What if the magma in the earth's crust makes the poles flip positions? .........

All of this is typical of a World superpower that has gotten out of control. Simply look at the histories of Greece, Rome/Byzantium, Egypt, Ancient China, etc. What it means is that things are about to come crashing down, and hard.

People need to be aware that everything we throw on the ground goes to the sewer that goes to the ocean.  I live near where the sewers empty into the ocean and its gross;  after it rains there is so much trash.  I thought people who littered were pigs before I saw that,  your neighbors children are being badly brought up.

It shouldn't, unless it is picking up material from the external environment.

No effect. They're so far away their magnetic and gravitational fields have only the most infinitesimal influence on the Earth.

Nothin would happen.\nIf you consider two bodies the earth (name it E) and a large mass (m). \ninitially M rests on E. and you lift mass M. the force used to lift it will also act on E.\nAlso if you consider the mass M and E. as a system force exerted on dropping M would be internal and since internal forces do not cause acc. the Earth will not get unbalanced.\n\nThats good for us isn't it...

with the global warming increased\nmore green cars and powerstations will be inverted

Actually, the Earth is slowing down, albeit very slowly.  The forces slowing it down (tidal effects, galactic space dust, etc) are small compared to what would be required to stop it completely.\n\nBelow is a site with more information on this interesting topic.
