Original Note:
Misleading headline. The inner core always rotates in the same direction as the rest of Earth, but cycles between going slightly faster or slower (<1° difference/yr) every few decades. This natural cycle does not cause noticeable changes at the surface. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/01/23/earth-core-slowing/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-022-01112-z
