Don’t tell me… my eating beef and driving a car, heating my home in winter, using A/C in summer - is causing the earth to rotate faster… WE need to sacrifice more..

- told to us by people who live in absolute luxury -on OUR dime..

Sciences confusing

This from n b c news saying the world is spinning slower because of global warming

Isaac Newton told us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So if we can get everyone in the world to walk in one direction, it will affect the Earth’s spin in the opposite direction.

For how long must we walk? I can’t say, as I cannot find my slide rule. So I’m unable to make any calculations.

As a side note, I guess anyone under 55 has no idea what a slide rule is.

This article was published the same day as an NBC article stating that global warming is slowing the Earth's rotation. But CBS assures us that the Earth's rotation is speeding up.

What a joke. American science used to be a beacon of hope for the future, not just for America but for the entire world. The global warming cult and the pandemic have shown how completely our science community has been corrupted by political ideology. There's nothing leftists cannot turn into absolute garbage.

OK take your pick... and always be correct..

VMelting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping

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.

Does that mean we’re aging faster.

BTW, the moon is moving farther away from earth as we speak. and the sun is expanding and will die off in about 4 1/2 billion years, but, we all will have been toast 2 billion years before that. We must do something about it, and find a new star and planetary system to move to.

But, we must act soon, before it’s too late.

Global
Warming slows the earth!!

Then like an hour later

The earth is spinning faster and we need to adjust the clocks!!

What a bunch of nonsense. Talk
About conflicting science!!

[roving]

Yesterday, they said it was slowing down.

[Wuli]

It was not long ago that scientists were saying the earth was spinning slower than it was a century earlier.

[blueunicorn6]

I’m so confused!

I will send these two stories to people on my email list just in case some are still using the major networks to find their news. As Mark Twain said, “If you don’t read the papers you are uninformed. If you read the papers you are misinformed”.

NBC news reports: Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping. 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.

CBS news reports: Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up. Earth's changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second. For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to.

Tell Chuck Norris to do his roundhouse kicks in the other direction.

[alancarp]

Just waiting on the usual Congress critters to raise the alarm about being thrown off the planet due to the increased spin rate.

[Bob434]

I thought I was dizzier than usual!

[The Great RJ]

Certainly caused by “climate change”

[Karl Spooner]

[Ahithophel]

Distance traveled in a light-year is gonna increase obviously.

[zeugma]

So, which is it?

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

Or the Earth is flat and there’s nothing to worry about. 😉
