Quick Glance: Melting Ice Slows Earth's Rotation, Affecting Time
- A new study reveals that ice loss due to climate change has slightly slowed the Earth's rotation and could impact time measurement.
- Researchers found that the melting of polar ice - a trend accelerated by human-induced climate change - has caused the Earth to spin less quickly than it naturally would.
- The study suggests that human influence has disrupted a force that has been considered a constant for millennia, delaying the possibility of a 'negative leap second.'
- Melting polar ice has counteracted the trend, postponing any decision on a negative leap second by three years.

Quick Glance: Bank of Canada Likely to Lead U.S. Fed in Rate Cuts
- The Bank of Canada is likely to move ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve on its first rate cut, as tepid economic growth and cooling inflation are priming up conditions to ease borrowing rates sooner, economists and analysts said.
- Canada may also need deeper cuts in the current cycle, since the economy is much more sensitive to interest rates due to its household debt, which as a percentage of net disposable income is the highest among G7 countries.
- Canada is expected to cut more aggressively over a longer time frame than its neighbor.
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has said that despite two back-to-back soft inflation prints, underlying price pressures in the economy still persisted and it was still too early to consider a cut.
