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.

Climate change means days are getting longer, scientists find

If climate change (global warming) can cause terrorism, it could also cause my uncle Donald to become my aunt Donna, right?

So somehow the mass or total weight changes? Really? We are losing water weight into space!? We are doomed, doomed I tell you!

They'll just feel like they're longer because of the way they want us to live.

I just wish all the global warming idjits would crawl under a rock and die.

The SUN drives our climate, nothing else. Idjits.

I would like to millisecond them.

If these are alpine glaciers, the mass would return to sea level. while there is an equatorial bulge in the water on the planet, that bulge is not as far from the center of the earth as the ice from the glaciers was (water runs down hill...).

Which means that the mass of the melted ice would shift from farther from the center of the earth to sea level, and that should have the effect of slightly increasing the rate of rotation, not decreasing it. demonstration

“meaning that at least five milliseconds will be added to each day over the course of the 21st century. “

Someone check my math -

so over 100 years (rounding from now to year 2100), .005 seconds is added

so it will take 1200 of those 100 years to mean 1 minute added to each day

that means 1,200,000 years to get 1 additional minute.

I better get a new watch then, LOL

Assuming all this crap is true

NOW can we get rid of daylight savings time???
