Follow the science. It’s slowing down and speeding up at the same time.
Kind of like global warming will cause the next ice age.
NBC + CBS = Earth’s rotation remains unchanged.
Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping

Article 1. The Congress shall construct a thermostat to control the temperature of planet earth.
Article 2. Every hour, the Congress shall adjust that thermostat.
Article 3. The Congress shall set the maximum level of the oceans.
Article 4. The Congress shall set the miles per Kilowatt.
Article 5. The Congress shall set the rotational speed of the planet earth.
Article 6. The Congress shall set the size of The Ozone Hole.
We get an extra second’s sleep some night in 2029! I can’t wait.
Two articles on the study from the LAAP-dog media, one from NBC and one from CBS.
NBC News: Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping
Excerpt:
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: U.S. Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up.
Excerpt:
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. Clocks may have to skip a second — called a "negative leap second" — around 2029, a study in the journal Nature said Wednesday.
That's global warming for you...
