Climate Change Slows Earth's Spin, Lengthens Days
TL;DR Summary
A new study reveals that human-caused climate change is melting polar ice, altering Earth's rotation, and lengthening days by milliseconds. This change, driven by the redistribution of meltwater from poles to the equator, is expected to accelerate, impacting technologies like GPS. The study highlights the profound influence of climate change on Earth's natural processes, potentially surpassing the moon's effect on day length.
