Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping

NBC News ^

Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time.

A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven primarily by human-caused climate change — has caused the Earth to spin less quickly than it would otherwise.

More half baked moronic thinking!!

I don’t have time for this.

Oh Noez!!!!

If only we hadn't built all those smoke stacks and automobiles to help hunt mammoths into extinction!!!

As long as Guam doesn’t flip over we’re good 👍

Maybe this explains why the president talks and walks slowly.

End of quote. Repeat that line.

The great lie of the day, from NBC news.

Something that someone just pulled out of their ass.

Imagine how much more productivity you can get out of your serfs if 10 hours is the new 8 hours.

Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up.

Saw your other post before it got pulled for lacking a link.

Fitting contrast of liberal 'news'.

“The reason leap second adjustments have historically been needed is that even without climate change, Earth’s daily rotation has trended slower over millions of years, even though it may seem constant.”

These people get paid to spew this BS!

Somebody needs to publish the authoritative list of all the things that are happening because of climate change.

I suspect most of these climate change effects are developed at the local watering hole after a couple of martinis.

There’s no such thing as Time

MAYBE a nanosecond slower per millennium?

Hilarious!
A CBS article said just the opposite.
Can’t even get their propaganda straight.

Al Gore has said that “sea level could be rising as much as 20 feet in the near future.”

I’m waiting.

It was only three days ago that this study was posted on FR-—

Just might, maybe, could be, possibly...

Also: Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up.
