Imagine instead of a few hundred ignorant ATSers there were hundreds of thousands of people in every country in the world looking at the skies every day ..... which there are.
As it stands, we have to asume that they are all totally ignorant and haven't noticed stars rising and setting in the wrong place, Or they are all part of the conspiracy.
What is more likely? You been conned? Or millions of people are involved in a conspiracy and only you are not in it?
None of this answers the question I posed . How will these 'millions' then 'raise hell'? By ringing up the News Of The World? How?

So now your claim is that this phenomena is completely isolated to the regions of the arctic populated by the Inuit?
Do you not see how your lionization of the words of a handful of elderly inuit is racist? They arent magical people. They arent the only people aware of the movements of the sun and moon. Perhaps you live in a video game world and have no comprehension of the movements of the stars, but those are abilities and tendencies not solely belonging to a handful of elderly 'Inuit', no matter how much you try and Pocahantas them into some magical native shaman.
To discount ALL OTHER EVIDENCE in favor of a few people because of their race is racist. Think about it. Inuit arent more 'in tune' than a farmer in Illinois, or a Hunter in Norway.
You appear only interested in one possible sensational conclusion that refutes science (which is all conspiring against you). IF you step back and try and cross reference some of your assumptions, you will expand your understanding of the issue.

I believe the Inuit. They are intuitive land people...why would they not tell the truth. I believe them wholeheartedly...I do. What are these times we live in?

I felt the same way. These people live by the seasons. It would be great if someone could double check the wording to see if it translates the way it is shown on the video.
This is an example of the massive visual shift that elders across the north have observed, leading them to each conclude that the earth has tilted.
When we explained this to climate scientists, including researchers working at NASA, most had never heard of such an observation before. However, all the scientists indicated that a physical tilt of the earth was impossible, and could not have happened the way our elder Augustine described. So, like an unfolding mystery, we went back to the drawing board to learn more about what might be causing this observation.
Wayne Davidson, a weather scientist and meteorological observer working Resolute Bay, helped solve the problem. In the late 1990s, Wayne also began to notice a change with the sun. He, like the elders we have documented, saw that the sun was moving southward. And, based on his scientific understanding and discussions with local Inuit, began documenting and better understanding this "low altitude refraction". In the video clip posted in this blog, Wayne describes how the sun changing its position in the sky - moving consistently in one direction - is actually a metric to measure anthropogenic, or human caused, climate change.
