The geographic poles are the points around which the earth spins so this is not the same thing at all as you suggest. Think of the geographic poles as the mounts for the classroom globe. The moon helps stabilize that axis and although there is some minor wobble in the earth's obliquity (which oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees on a 41,000-year cycle) it is at present 23.5 degrees.
Fossil records of tropical plants have indeed been found at very northerly and southerly locations. This isn't just due to continental drift, but also very much warmer temperatures.
Where is all this stuff about the earth's supposed axis shift coming from? Very simple research will show it's all complete nonsense, or am I assuming a greater understanding than there really is amongst alternative forums and websites?
