Days are getting slightly longer — and it's due to climate change

Days are getting slightly longer — and it's due to climate change
This photo of Greenland, taken from very high above, shows the outline of Greenland, which is covered in white ice and surrounded by blue ocean.
Ice melting from Greenland and the polar regions is causing sea levels to rise, shifting mass around the planet in a way that's starting to slow its spin, scientists are finding.
NASA
Climate change is causing widespread global impacts, but now scientists are finding that it's altering the very planet itself. Earth's rotation is slowing down, extending the length of a day ever so slightly.
As temperatures rise, massive amounts of ice are melting from Greenland and Antarctica. That meltwater flows into the oceans, redistributing the mass closer to the equator. When the planet is thicker around the middle, its daily rotation takes a bit longer.
"It's a testament to the gravity of climate change, in a sense," says Surendra Adhikari of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who's an author of the study, just released in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

This looks like backwards science.
Does climate change cause longer days?
or
Do longer days cause climate change?

Why won't they give any specifics? Data? Results?

The magnetic fields are changing. As they have in the past

When I studied the climate change critiques from mid 90s to 2005 the biggest offender caught falsifying data was NASA. It was a shock since most expected the UN organizations to lead the fake market. Every time they got caught they just said: 'Well, we have this new one and it's not falsified.' Then they would get caught again.

So now climate change is such a powerful force that it can control the spinning of the earth [img]and[/img] the tilt of the earth on it's axis?

Geez. Even the earth is getting fat around the middle

A living breathing planet changes over the course of time? Who would have thought.

The climate changes and always has and will again. There will be ice ages and ice less ages, just as it’s always been.

So how much more in taxes and power to the gov't will it take to solve this problem?

It's called the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere...

Any explanation for why NASA would push this narrative? Somehow affects their funding in a positive way?

Well if the earth is slowing it's rotating and extending the length of each day by 1/100,000th of a second, it looks like our years will have to be extended from 365.25 days to 365.26 days in about 12 billion years.
I'm frightened!!!!
