Welcome to BABB, EX.

When you say you now nothing, how do you know that the earth's axis shifted 2.5 degrees?
BTW, there was no shift. Even the laziest amateur astronomer would have recoginzed a shift of 2.5° within minutes. Not to mention all these people who use GPS devices and would suddenly recognize that they are in the wrong place...
