Joe Lieberman, first Jewish vice-presidential nominee of a major party, dies at 82
thehill.com/homenews/senate/4560613-joe-lieberman-vice-presidential-nominee-dies/
Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
- Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.
- Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.
- His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.
- 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.

nbcnews.com/science/environment/melting-ice-slowing-earth-rotation-may-affect-time-rcna145009
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.
