Comment on What impact would reversing the Earth's rotation have?

Regardless of how fast or slow you reversed the direction. Pretty much every weather pattern and ocean current on the surface of the planet would be thrown into a massive calamity. The Corolis effect and momentum imparted to surface fluids around our rotating ball is a huge, huge deal with weather flow. It directs how storm systems form and track and which typical track they take as the rotation of the earth is constantly deflecting them. There would be huge, unending storm systems as existing patterns now crashed into new ones, with storm fronts spanning entire continents. Agricultural breadbaskets would be either destroyed or stranded in drought.
