- Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

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.

- 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.
