This pretty much tops the list of wacky science for me. Unless the earth's rotation around the sun is slowing, I can't see how this is possible.

Should’ve said the rotation of the earth on a daily basis. My bad. Need more coffee.

My cousin’s brother in law has a sister whose son in law blames climate change for getting his girlfriend pregnant. Said it made her really hot. I totally believe it.

I guess our time is getting short.

The rotation change is real.

However - from memory - the change is less than one second per century.

Well this tub of lard moved from north toward south, contributing mass as well to speed acceleration. That’s just how much I am doing my part to destroy the earth faster!

The day length is based on the rotation of the Earth on its axis. That’s how.

And who’s to say the weather gets colder in the next couple of centuries, and the days get longer? Climate change is always temporary, until the next change.

These retards prove for the uncountable time that they know nothing about the four fundamental forces at work in our universe; strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force. Do these dumbass leftists know anything about how a planet becomes tidally locked? Obviously they haven’t ever seen the moon.

6th grade astronomy. These commies can’t hide it anymore.
