As land ice from the poles melts due to rising atmospheric temperatures, the shifting weight of water across the world should cause a change to the axis upon which the Earth spins, and a slight wobble in the rotation. Also, the added weight of water towards the equator will cause the Earth to slow, much in the way a spinning figure skater would slow if he or she reached their arms out away from their body.

There's a reason it's called science fiction. And the hoax deniers will eat it up.

calculating that the duration of a day has lengthened by a millisecond over the past 100 years.

In ten years the earth will darn near stop turning.

What BS

Longer growing seasons! More crops at higher latitudes. Fewer people starving around the world! Longer strolls in the more balmy evenings!

What’s not to like about an extra millisecond of daylight?

If everyone out west starts running east it will bring things up to speed again, until they all drown in the Atlantic anyway!

Maybe they should all bring surfboards.

Odd, around here the days are getting shorter,
either that or I’m getting longer.

Wow. How do I get a cushy job with a fat paycheck on a gorgeous campus pushing stuff like this? Next we will hear that the Moon really is made of green cheese.

There is no end to this pseudo science bullshit!

These PC geniuses are able to determine that the earth is slowing up 1 millisecond ( .0001 second ) per year? And IT IS DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING !

This is so f*cking stupid. This has been known for a long time, not that any of the snowflakes would know this because they probably don’t teach it anymore.

I question the ability of anyone to measure a slowing of 1 millisecond in 100 years without uncertainty at least an order of magnitude larger.

This looks like garbage to me. I would expect the effect of melting glaciers to be far less than the effect of erosion of mountains, but in any case, I’d like to know how these researchers were able to isolate the effects of one from the other.

That’s pure bull-ogna.

I firmly believe the earth’s rotation has been affected by the billions electric motors on earth...both big and small motors. Most electric motors spin in one/the same direction. The centrifugal force created by this spin has created an opposing force to the earth’s rotation. Eventually, the opposing, electric motor force will cause the earth’s rotation to reverse.

Don’t even get me started on car engines with their crankshafts and cams spinning. OR THE TIRES GOING ROUND AND ROUND.

Luckily, this here tinfoil hat keeps those centrifugal forces from affecting my brain.

melting glaciers are causing the rotation of the Earth to slow thereby lengthening our days, new research has found.

But the Earth has seen many ice ages in its long history. Does the Earth speed up, then slow down, in response to each episode? Also, they're predicting a mini ice-age in the next 15 years.

Earth heading for 'mini ice age' in just 15 years, scientists say
UPI ^ | Updated July 11, 2015 | Doug G. Ware

Solar scientists predict that the Earth will enter a "mini ice age" around 2030 due to decreased activity by the sun, which will bring with it frigid cold winters. The last time the Earth experienced a similar situation occurred between 1645 and 1715.

It was discovered in 1928 that the Earth’s rotation was irregular. How much global warming induced glacier melt was experienced back then?

Ignorance at its finest. The last three BIG Earthquakes (Sumatra, Chile and Japan) sped up the rotation of the earth by a few milliseconds. So even if this was true, the length of the day is still shorter because of the earthquakes.

If days are getting longer at one point then at an opposite point nights are getting longer.

So molecular level changes in CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere will eventually cause changes in the earth’s rotation. Sure the science is settled on this one. However the media and global warming cultists will believe this as gospel.
