Melting polar ice is slowing Earth’s rotation and may affect time
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.
