    Earth's Rotation Slowing Down: Melting Ice Caps and Human-Induced Climate Change

    Broke On: Monday, 15 July 2024 Scientists discover Earth's rotation is slowing down at an accelerated rate due to melting polar ice caps caused by human-induced climate change. This phenomenon, which redistributes water mass on Earth and makes it more oblate, causes the planet to rotate slower. The current rate of 1.3 milliseconds per century is projected to increase if greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate, with potential consequences for modern life and climate modeling.
