But that's not really the point. Surely if there are enough people who believe in the pole shift theory, they can surely fund a paper for it, given that satellites are pretty much everywhere.
Another plausible explanation for why the scientists don't bother with pole shifts is because they don't think it's a viable theory. I don't think they're trying to suppress it in any way, it's more of them not being bothered enough to want to measure how valid the pole shift hypothesis is right now.
But really, why do you think man-made global warming is bunk, based on some scientific principles, if possible? I'd really be interested to know, because I can follow the scientific plausibility of CO2 emissions causing the Earth to warm up:

That's the absorption bands of major greenhouse gases. I'm quite lazy to do the math now, but if you look at the lowest column, the total atmosphere one, you'll notice a low absorption in the regions 0.3 to 0.7 microns. If I remember my physics right, that's exactly the visible spectrum of light. The high absorption to the left corresponds to UV light - that's due to ozone. To the left we have infrared light, which is pretty much the radiated heat - which is the thing we're concerned about.
You'll notice that water vapour is quite a strong greenhouse gas (probably even stronger than CO2) (absorption peaks beyond 0.7 microns), but the nice thing about water vapour is that it gets cycled quickly into a liquid when it rains, and when they clump up into clouds, they have a reflective effect that reduces the amount of heat absorbed. It's believed that the amount of water vapour has been somewhat constant, since it's constantly recycled in the water cycle, and its effects have been somewhat accounted for, so its effects are quite stable.
Carbon dioxide however is a different kettle of fish; it never condenses, so whatever CO2 you pump into the air today will probably stay there for quite a while (there is a carbon cycle, but we're rapidly putting more carbon into the air than can be absorbed, hence the measurements of carbon dioxide concentrations increasing). It is this absorption of the infra red by CO2 that's the key to man-made global warming, which is what its advocates believe. I hope you find this perfectly scientifically plausible.
So yes, that's a short introduction on how plausible CO2 emissions cause global warming, which is real, measurable effect in labs. Now, the argument by sceptics is that this warming effect is swamped by other factors; e.g. the pole shift you used above. I've also seen claims that it's the solar flux that's the main driver of warming, i.e. CO2 emissions are not the main cause of warming, and any other effect swamps it so much that we don't need to bother with CO2 emissions, and that's where I've seen the debate rage, where man-made global warming advocates (the scientists above too, it seems) claim that CO2 is the main factor, while others claim that CO2 isn't the main factor, and thus we cannot control how the Earth will warm, if the main source of warming is say, from the changing flux of the Sun instead.
But CO2 has another effect; it helps acidify the oceans. We learn in chemistry that CO2 (and other 'acidic' gases), when absorbed by water produces a weak acid. Increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to an acidification of the oceans, which is a dangerous thing because it has the potential to change/disrupt ecosystems in the oceans greatly, and will disrupt a great food source for many many people. This effect has nothing to do with global warming, but is very dangerous too.
I think the key point i want to make is that , it's NOT i do not believe the world/climate is changing. I just do not accept the global warming as the be all end all and blaming it on humans solely as the main cause.Another plausible explanation for why the scientists don't bother with pole shifts is because they don't think it's a viable theory.

I will repeat what I read elsewhere from some guy's summary on this whole global warming bunk.
When are you people going to get it?
1- There is climate change, yes, there is climate change in all planets of our solar system currently. Some of them are having dramatic changes one way or another.
2- Big money took over environmentalism some time ago, they are not looking to fix their "carbon problem" at all. many people have come up with ways to get rid of Co2 including using one type of algae in oceans. Or by simply... planting trees. But no, they couldn't care less about it, what they want is the carbon tax scam which is in fact taxing one of the six essential building blocks of life. It's the perfect scam, it's like charging for oxygen.
3- More co2 and higher overall temperatures is actually what makes nature thrive unlike what they are trying to make you believe. If you don't know the REAL science behind it just take a look at our planet. Where does nature thrive? It's in the Equator, giant tropical forests with millions of species known and millions yet to discover. And where in our planet exists less plant and animal life? It's in the coldest parts, if you go to the Poles it's almost non existent. Here's a little experience for you: Get some plants in two different locations, in one the locations feed them high co2, in the other location don't use anything. Your jaw will drop when you see the end results.
4- Pollution is bad, yes, I hate it, I love nature and I want to fight the real pollution but this enviro scam is all about taxes and pushing for globalization and political agendas. These guys have patents on this carbon credit scam for Christ sake. Guys like all Gore will get a percentage of every Pennie involved in the carbon scam, they will be trillionaries.
5- Hope these are enough good reasons for you.
And most importantly, the email hacks clearly shows the scientists's own data do not match up to their own global warming theory and so they tried to massage it and you get this hockey stick thing with Michael Mann the so called nobel laureate who really should be stripped of the title or just discredit the nobel prize altogether. (Even Obama can get this prize in less than a year, clear cut case of politically motivated move)
The earth is changing, yes, but global warming blamed on humanity and politically motivated carbon tax is bunk.
If you do not believe in a global conspiracy you better start reading up on the New World Order, it has been repeated to death even by the politicians themselves publicly.
You have to drive into the conspiracy theory area, yes, many hate it but that doesn't invalidate the theories, as even science/global warming itself is a theory.
We're being herded to a global governance in turbo mode, whether we like it or not, we will be squeezed in to accept this. Their initial creation is the United Nations long ago. This is not a theory, this is a fact. It's also known as globalization and it's a global power grab and anyone who dismisses this theory or not bother to read up on it is seriously doing him/herself injustice to connect the dots.
Global warming is also closely linked to population control theories. Go read up on population control, another taboo area.
Added on November 22, 2009, 4:11 amOh btw, when talking about the NWO, it is nothing like what the religious dumb dumbs have claimed to be.
Political leaders have admitted to wanting a global government but it has got absolutely nothing to do with Satanism or whatever. So when dwelling into this topic, don't waste time reading the point of view from religious nutjobs.
Anyone who starts associating NWO from their religious point of view, get out of this thread.
NWO is a valid topic but it has been tainted and polluted with low IQ religinuts in PHD forum. Yes i've read one of the NWO related threads and I think these people who're presenting it from their primitive religious point of view ought to be shot for being of inferior intellect.
We're headed towards a global government, that's a fact.
No, not everyone wants to be part of this global government because of questionable people being in charge.
There're infighting, and that's why you have this HADLEY hack scandal. It is linked to the copenhagen/lisbon treaty of climate/global warming contract where nations must sign.
Global government is inevitable as the future of planet earth. It is the only way we can avoid countries nuking the crap out of each other.
Global government is GOOD if done correctly by reputable leaders and openly without hidden agenda like some of the camps of global warming are perpetrating.
And please do not listen to any NWO/Global government theories from religious nutcases esp videos made by Christians/Muslims. These are the people who cannot keep up with the changes and are the ones making the topic bunk and disreputed.
World government is inevitable. But who will be leading it ? That's the question.
