Scientists have discovered that days are growing slightly longer due to melting polar ice. As water moves away from the poles and towards lower latitudes, it changes the continental mass distribution on Earth, ultimately affecting our planet’s rotation.

Your solutions make as much sense as taxing us to the poor house, trying to instill a guilt trip, producing no results at all, other than filling the pockets of grifters selling snake oil.
And the moon is receding at a similar slow rate, until it’s no longer our moon. What our weather will be like is anyone’s guess. We won’t be around then, but we can imagine.
[our time is getting short.]
Not quite the same but
The days are getting shorter
and the night is getting cold
Feels like we’re running out of time

Al Gore predicted in 2007 that by 2013 the Arctic Ocean would be completely ice free. In the summer of 2012 ice levels did reach all time lows in the Arctic. Emboldened by this report Australian Professor Chris Turney launched an expedition in December of 2013 to prove that the Antarctic Sea Ice was also undergoing catastrophic melting only to have his ship trapped in sea ice such that it could not even be rescued by modern ice-breakers.
The Professor should have known that a more accurate estimate of sea ice can be had from satellite images taken every day at the Poles since 1981. These images show that between summer and winter, regardless of the degree of summer melting, the sea ice completely recovers to its original size the winter before for almost every year since the pictures were taken. The sea ice has been stubbornly resistant to Al Gore’s predictions. In fact the average annual coverage of sea ice has been essentially the same since satellite observations began in 1981. However that has not stopped global warming advocates and even government agencies from cherry picking the data to mislead the public.
Melting glaciers are another topic of the warming alarmists. Indeed they can choose to point to some that are actually melting, ignoring those that are growing or remaining stable. Why the differences? They are largely dependent on whether over periods of time more snow falls than ice melts or the reverse. They are a great place to cherry pick data.
The solution to public fear about ice melting and sea level rising is simply using common sense.
The Milankovitch Cycles
In the eyes of Milutin Milankovitch, there’s been a noticeable trend in climate, temperature, and seasons due to this cycle. And we can accredit these long-term climate changes to 3 variations in geometry between the Earth and the sun:
* ECCENTRICITY: How the Earth orbits the sun.
* OBLIQUITY: What angle does Earth face the sun?
* PRECESSION: How Earth’s axis of rotation changes.
What Are the 3 Milankovitch Cycles?
The Milankovitch cycles are a set of predictable, periodic changes in Earth’s orbit and axial tilt that influence the planet’s climate over long periods of time.
These cycles are thought to be responsible for variations in Earth’s climate, including ice ages and interglacial periods, as they affect the distribution of solar radiation received by the Earth’s surface.
Oh, absolutely. The fear mongers completely ignore any data that is not in agreement with their agenda.
I hate longer days. Burns my grass.
The longer the day, the more beer I drink.
When you get your grant, I am available for sleep studies for a mere 100k a year. Thats a scientific bargain...
Before you know it, the earth will have flipped and mountains will become islands and islands will become mountains.
Geology 101
Ignore me.
Unusually short fused, unfair, incorrect.
Ive read so many stupid responses by people that are sure they know the ballistics on .88 magnums lately that I should really take a break.
“Is English your first language?” No.
“Are you actually as retarded as you pretend to be?” Even more so, almost as much as you.
“Let me guess, youre a HuffPoster sent here to make us look stupid?” I don’t have to make you look stupid.
