The Earth has tilted 31.5 inches because of human activity. The way the planet rotates has been fundamentally changed by the process of pumping groundwater, and it is having a far bigger impact than previously imagined. As a result, sea levels have risen .24 inches in less than two decades and the Earth has tilted 31.5 inches.
