Climate change is slowing Earth's spin, NASA-funded study finds
Original: Climate change is slowing Earth's spin and making the days longer, NASA-funded study shows
A NASA-funded study finds that climate change is slowing Earth's rotation, lengthening the days. Melting ice and shifting water towards the equator redistribute mass on the planet, which alters its spin. The finding highlights how human-driven warming affects not only the climate but also fundamental planetary processes like the length of a day.
Why now: The striking finding that warming alters Earth's rotation itself is surprising and widely shareable science news.
