Recent studies reveal that human activities, particularly since the 1990s, have significantly shifted Earth's axis. The geographic poles, which are not fixed, have moved due to changes in Earth's mass distribution. Historically, natural factors like ocean currents influenced this drift. However, the loss of ice due to global warming has accelerated pole movement. From 1995 to 2020, the drift speed increased 17 times compared to 1981-1995. The poles have shifted about 4 meters since 1980, with water loss from land being a major driver of this rapid change.
