"Global Warming's Impact: Earth's Rotation Slows, Prompting Need for Negative Leap Second"

Earth's slower rotation due to climate change may necessitate the introduction of a negative leap second, a first in history, to adjust universal time. The need for this adjustment has raised concerns among time meteorologists and experts due to potential complications for computing systems, as existing codes are not equipped to handle a negative leap second. While the exact timing of a negative leap second remains uncertain, it highlights the ongoing impact of climate change on Earth's fundamental processes.
