Will the Earth tilt when the Poles melt?

Well, two things. One, the tilt of the Earth is actually staying stable because of the gravitation of the moon believe it or not. Ever so slowly, the moon moves farther away, and ever so slowly our tilt changes. Will never happen in our lifetime, but someday we will have no moon. As for the polar ice caps melting, that would most likely not affect the tilt because the mass of the earth is still the same, just redistributed. In my opinion, the earth has a bulge around the equator thanks to the spinning of the earth… well, if all that water comes, the earth will just have more land covered and that water will just spin out some more at our equator…
