 What if Earth started spinning backwards?


  Earth currently spins from east to west. But waht if it started spinning backwards?

  Backward spinning of the earth is termed as a retrograde motion. Now, to understand the effects of this retrograde motion on Earth, scientists performed some simulations.

  In these simulations, the first noticeable change was that the direction of winds and oceans currents reversed, causing changes in climatic conditions. This resulted in a much greener earth as the world's deserts shrank from 42 million square kilometers to 31 million square kilometers.

  Secondly, at present, rising level of carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming. But in retrograde world, with more trees to absorb carbon dioxide, the global mean temperature dropped by about 0.2 degrees Celsius, thus considerably lowering the effects of global warming.

  Lastly, the rainfall pattern also changed. As a result, the Great Sahara Desert and the Arabian Desert got covered in trees and grasses, while never-seen-before deserts emerged in Southern Brazil and Argentina.

  So it will be definitely good for the Earth.
