Human Activity Causes Earth's Axis to Tilt 31.5 Inches

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that extensive groundwater pumping by humans has caused the Earth to tilt by 31.5 inches over the past two decades. This redistribution of water contributes to sea level rise, highlighting the significant impact human activities can have on the planet's natural systems. The study emphasizes that groundwater redistribution has a larger effect on the Earth's rotational pole drift than other climate-related factors.
