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.

“””The author of the study, Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, said that as ice at the poles melts, it changes where the Earth’s mass is concentrated. The change, in turn, affects the planet’s angular velocity.”””
The past four years have been a bonanza for people like Duncan Agnew as Biden has been handing out grant money to the climate porn actors like it was Halloween.
The Sun is about 1,000,000,000 times the Earth’s mass and being a nuclear furnace would not have anything to do with it. /s
These two stories were published on the same exact day — one from NBC News and the other from CBS News.

“Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation”
Wow, that is BS on another level
Talk about solid bull feces! Approx. 5 articles obove THIS one on THIS page, an article states that the earth is beginning to spin FASTER, and that by 2029 it may be necessary to subtract one second from the world’s timeclock. Fortunately, my schedule is not tight enough to be affected, whichever one is correct. I’d hazard a wager that they are BOTH blatant lies!
Took 15 posts for someone to point this out. Thank you. Trust the science, right? What a joke.
Ludacris, the mass stays the same. there is no propulsive or braking power
Exactly, CNN article posted just last month says the opposite but still blames global warming (aka climate change).

At least in the past when they were going to contradict themselves, it took years, now it is weeks.
So full of cr**...

Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up.
No wonder I’ve been so tired.
If we launch enough climate scientists into space fast enough at a westward angle, it’ll speed the earth’s rotation right back up. It’s long past time for such a project.
About 333,000 times, actually.
Slow propaganda/gaslighting day.
The loony media put all the hooks in the water one of has to get a bite.
NBC says the earth’s rotation is slowing down, and CBS news said it is speeding up. Which one is it?
Meanwhile the "Climate Change" Cult holds another meeting and celebrates the fact that everyone there has the exact same view of the World.
“The Sky is falling!”
A chicken runs up to the farmer and says, “The Sky Is Falling.”
The former shouts,” Oh my God, a talking chicken!”

I was looking for comment like this.
