Original Note:
Not a hoax. Climate change is causing the ice sheets to melt rapidly. Interestingly, this redistribution of mass is actually slowing the Earth’s rotation. This caused the solid inner core to rotate unevenly, which causes the earth as a whole to spin faster. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/climate-change-earth-rotation-speed-time https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/global-warming-changing-how-fast-earth-spins-180957550/ https://e360.yale.edu/digest/climate-change-rotation-timekeeping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx3nWHWc2_A https://interestingengineering.com/lists/10-interesting-facts-earths-spin https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00932-w
