Climate change alarmists are now blaming global warming for making the earth “spin faster” in their latest effort to convince people to lessen their output of carbon dioxide.
In an article in Mic Thursday titled “Climate Change Is Literally Making the Earth Spin Faster,” writer A.J. Dellinger cites a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Earth, which “found that our planet is spinning faster than ever, resulting in our days being shorter than ever.”
Whereas a normal day on earth is made up of 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds, June 29 saw “our shortest day on record,” Dellinger writes, which concluded 1.59 milliseconds faster than it normally would.
“As for what is causing the planet to speed up, well, it’s us,” Dellinger confidently asserts. “Human-caused climate change has altered the makeup of the planet, including melting the ice caps so significantly that it appears to have changed the angular velocity of the planet.”
Meanwhile, an article Friday in the UK-based UNILAD more modestly declares that “Scientists don’t know why the Earth is spinning faster than ever,” citing several possible theories for the phenomenon, including something called the “Chandler wobble,” referring to an irregular movement of the geographical poles across the surface of the globe.
The same article also clarifies that June 29 was nowhere near the shortest day in the earth’s history, since more than a billion years ago “the Earth was closer to the moon, causing it to rotate a lot faster than it does now – as such, there were only 19 hours in a day.”
But why let the facts spoil a good story? Blaming faster earth rotation on climate change is just the latest in an impressive string of wild attributions to rising temperatures over the last decade.

I read earlier that pot causes global warming.
Now which will leftists choose?
LMAO
Al Gore said your house would be underwater by now, so it is. Stop living in denial.

He meant Obama Bin Laden 😜
I like to show this to liberals. If the earth is getting warmer, why haven’t any record high temps been set recently in the USA?

Those pushing the idea that climate change is controlling the Earth’s rate of rotation proves the poor scientific discipline that makes up their practice. Their study of the climate is doing a horrible job at explaining what is going on in the environment. It is like the medical doctrine 100 years ago saying that the imbalance of humors (chemical systems regulating human behaviour), or dyscrasia (”bad mixture”), was the direct cause of all diseases. Their method of fighting the bad spirit of climate is to raise the shrunken head against the bad spirit of CO2.
Start with private jets
Or, it could be the Chandler wobble and we are likely near the end of the short term speed up and the slow down dominance will resume.
Ice age—>ozone hole—>acid rain—>global warming—>climate change—>global spinning
Face all the windmills backwards against the spin.
Your team loses? Global warming.
You ask her/him out and get shut down? Global warming.
Your new puppy poops in the house? Global warming.
Constipation? Global warming.
Diarrhea? Global warming.
Any questions?
Should start a campaign to convince the libtards that everyone needs to face the rising sun in the morning and then jump forward as hard as possible. This will retard the Earth’s rotational speed.
Sadly our schools quit teaching actual science decades ago and such idiocy is today readily accepted by the science illiterate.
>Actually it is all of the airplanes that are doing that.
Ackshully the earth’s rotation is slowing down, about 1.8 milliseconds per century. 1.4 billion years ago a day was just 18.7 hours. At that time the moon was likely some 27,000 miles closer to earth than it is now. In 600 millions years, total solar eclipses will be no more as the moon continues to move away from earth.
I got cold french fries 🍟!!!
Global Warming!!!!
Oil tankers, sailing against the Earth’s rotation.
Ever so slight difference. Very, very slight.
Oil bad, see? 😜
Now, let’s push this giant rubber ball filled with oil out the window.
When I first heard about this, I said Liberals will blame Climate Change... so I was correct
Wind mills will work.
Good luck measuring the effect.
What if they all flew backwards around the world at the same time? Would Lois Lane live again?
Obvious BS!
In studying records from the Roman Empire there are several days recorded that were over 2 milliseconds shorter than average.
