    Climate change has had some pretty weird consequences - beers are tasting worse, goats are shrinking, and flights are bumpier. Another unexpected outcome is that the rotation of the earth has slowed, making days longer. How does that work? Let’s have a look.

    I live in Helsinki, which is on the 60th latitude. If I walk 2 meters to the south, my mass gets farther from Earth's axis. This causes Earth's rotation to be slower until I walk back and the original rotation is restored.

    As a programmer who sometimes has to deal with leap seconds, I advocate for calibrating the mass distribution and thereby the speed of rotation of the earth, so that programmers like me will no longer have to deal with leap seconds.
    If the day is shorter than 86400 seconds, we shift more mass toward the equator and slow down the day. If the day is longer than 86400 seconds, we freeze more mass at the poles and speed up the day. This way, we no longer set our time according to the earth, but the earth according to our time.
    I feel this is a much more pressing matter than any concerns regarding global warming and am counting on your support for a binding UN resolution.

    Except there was no leap-second when we transitioned from 2023 to 2024. The official atomic-time websites explain that earth has not been slowing down as anticipated so the adjustment was not required. So I’m not sure what this new climate scare is about.
    There are some papers about the proposition that we should do away with leap seconds entirely; partly because the trends seem to be that we don’t need them (earth appears to be speeding up, surprisingly), and partly because of the complexity of setting back clocks in millions of internet servers. They propose that it would be easier if we just stuck to atomic time and forgot about any synchronization issues with the earth. Now we’re awaiting some kind of world consensus.

      The moon is rising in its orbit, and the earth is slowing down, due to the earth's rotational energy being transferred to the moon.
      Sea levels have been going up at about 1.5 mm per year for the past 170 years (daily observation). The only way you get acceleration is math tricks, or by changing the observation method. For instance, changing from harbormasters and marks on a stick, to satalite measurements from space. Satalite measure is 3.5 mm per year, and harbormasters don't agree; go figure.
      (The cumulative discrepancy between harbormasters and NASA is about two inches. Someone is going to notice.)

    Actually, ice floats in the sea thus lying above the mean water level of the sea. Thus when it melts it will decrease the angular momentum and speed the earth up, not slow it down.

    • @TaleDreamer
      @TaleDreamer Месяц назад +7

      Sure. But most of the ice on Earth was previously concentrated near the North and South poles, which lies nearer to the axis of rotation of Earth. You do not find random icebergs floating along the Equator. So when this ice melts on the poles, the liquid mass tends to distribute itself along the equator and thus slows down the rotation of Earth.
      That is one counterargument to your rebuttal.
      The other counterargument is: suppose that ice is indeed present along the Equator, and this ice melts, it would be more-or-less inconsequential to the angular momentum since the mass distribution along the radius is barely affected (as much as redistribution from nearer the axis of rotation anyway)-- the solid ice has exactly the same mass as the liquid water. Sure, one can of course argue that "technically, there would still consequentially be a slight change in angular velocity", so for the sake of argument, "yes, one would be technically correct".

    • @AstralTraveler

      I can tell you now that the 'climate hysteria' is very much under played not over.
      Most people will refer to the IPCC. but we can safely say that they are clearly wrong now.
      We have Hansen's latest work, an actual quantum physics explaination of why co2 is so good at heat trapping.
      And now there is another climate paper confirming Hansen's Forcings.
      Even if we went carbon zero today... the earth will continue to heat at a rate of at least 11 hiroshima bombs per second until such time as we reach the CURRENT +10 thermostat based on the new climate forcing.
      NONE of these claims of this warming or this sinking or that bleaching mean a damn thing. The climate is so massive and has so many nuances and even counter tipping points that it is EXCEPTIONALLY hard to predict such things because the earth may move that heat somewhere unexpected.
      The earth itself has countered many of our fear with sinks we did not even know existed....but we have been given all possible chances by nature to correct our mistake. Too late now, hothouse is certain and people alive today that you care for will starve to death before we die of old age.
      If you do not believe this then you simply have not learned enough about the immutable physics of it all that has absolutely nothing to do with human opinions on what will happen and when.
      Science will do it's absolute best to give us accurate data, but it can only be as accurate as reality and if the earth itself throws a curveball then of course predictions will be misplaced.
      what most people do not even register is that we are already about 3.5 if you remove all the dimming. It is already over as soon as we hit a war or pandemic or civil unrest enough to reduce industry.

      @@Hudoi-1 How is chemical energy that sustains life harnessed? Whats a plausible mechanism for which life can arise from inorganic material?
      We understand so much about physics and law of the universe, but it doesn’t explain the process or emergence of “life”. Forget evolution of life, the question of how did life emerge at all is a big mystery.
      Why can’t we make our own self sustaining life ?

      @@aznstride4325 No, it isn't a mystery. Just... Research it. If you wanna know, just start on the wiki page for abiogenesis. It isn't "solved", but it's not like we don't know how life came about at all. There are many theories, but it's hard to know exactly because we literally can only guess - or we'd need a time machine.
      And the reason why we can't make our own "self-sustaining" life is because we can't manipulate small enough molecules with enough precision to mass produce such things as DNA/RNA, required to make life. Life is pretty complex as it is.

      We just can't manipulate matter well enough.

      We aren’t completely clueless, we can make RNA but it’s extremely complex to do anything more than that. The theories we have are extremely limited and the environmental conditions required by the theory weren’t conditions that existed in early earth.
      I would say we’re extremely clueless still. But yes progress is being made, but this is an interesting topic (at least for me) to talk about

    Multiple monitors also help with your browsing habits if someone falls into the habit of loading up so many tabs that their name disappears.
    Instead of browser tabs, pull them all out of the browser as their own respective window and use a vertical taskbar. Though, that's not for everybody.

    Its odd because the other study was said opposite. It sped up. However, the waterway flow was from pre-existing situation. Superior, china river, or any that was spread by man. Both to slow the affect of climate under damaging concern..
