So now climate change impacts plate tectonics?

"The authors’ interpretations are based on a strong observed correlation between plate tectonic processes, paleogeography, and periods of colder and warmer climate. However, numerous processes modify global climate, and various problems must be solved before
this hypothesis can be tested with Earth system models that predict weathering fluxes and CO2 sources."

Correlation is not causation.

'As air speeds up, its pressure goes down. So the faster-moving air above exerts less pressure on the wing than the slower-moving air below'.
'Greater activity of the heated molecules increases the spacing between neighboring molecules and thus reduces air density. The decreasing air density then lowers the pressure exerted by the air. Warm air is thus lighter (less dense) than cold air and consequently exerts less pressure'.

The Roaring Forties drag Australia down but the Tropics take it to Bali with the eastern states spinning 1cm faster/ year.  This can only increase with coal sales to China.

Tropic air pressure drops .6KPa with 1 degree C rise.
Roaring Forties pressure drops 2.2KPa with 1 degree C rise in wind speed.  This gives 1.6Kpa southward force.
However, the wind-load is 2KPa at maximum Roaring Forties velocity on Tasmania at 200kmh (which doesn't affect West Australia at that latitude).  This moves Australia north with .4KPa force, rotating the land-mass counter clockwise.

So your last reference indicates the opposite. Climate change is an effect, not a cause.

Link?

And NONE of your references mentions AGW.

Chimera's hair is on fire.
