NASA: Climate Change Slowing Earth's Rotation, Increasing Day Length at Unprecedented Rate
Jul 15, 2024, 07:23 PM
A new study has found that climate change is causing the length of each day to increase. The mass melting of polar ice caps is reshaping the planet and slowing Earth's rotation, leading to longer days. This phenomenon is occurring at an unprecedented rate, according to NASA and other scientific analyses, including those from ETH, PNASNews, and NatureGeosci. The findings highlight the profound impact of the climate crisis on the Earth's natural processes.
