What would the climate of the world be in this situation?

I see an amusing flaw here. Anyone else?

Anyway, Antarctica would crash into South America as another poster said, and maybe Africa and Australia too. Tierra del Fuego would be at the South Pole, and considering that the surface 'shrinks' at higher latitudes, all the southern continents would merge into a new Gondwanaland supercontinent whose continentality would put Siberia in shame. However it's hard to say how the ice cap would develop, if either it becomes huge and widespread or it stays rather exiguous due to warm summers. I guess it depends on the shape the landmass may achieve.

How could that be fixed?

What changes could I make to prevent continents from crashing?
