Human Activity Causes Earth's Axis to Tilt 31.5 Inches, Affecting Sea Levels

A study reveals that extensive groundwater pumping has tilted Earth's rotation by 31.5 inches over two decades, contributing to sea-level rise and climate change. This shift is primarily due to the redistribution of 2,150 gigatons of groundwater, highlighting the significant impact of human water usage on the planet's physical orientation. The findings emphasize the need for sustainable groundwater management and global cooperation to mitigate these effects and address broader climate challenges.
