Why haven't I heard this before? It's mind blowing. ❤
It’s a less-discussed impact of climate change, but the research is getting more attention as we better understand its long-term effects.
How long have scientists known about this?
Scientists have tracked Earth's rotation changes for over a century using various technologies, but recent studies highlight the accelerating impact of climate change.
Does this mean Earth is wobbling more as it spins?
Exactly! The shift in mass from melting ice and groundwater depletion causes Earth’s axis to wobble, a phenomenon called polar motion.
Is there anything we can do to stop this process?
Reducing emissions can slow the rate of change, but some effects, like melting ice, may continue for decades due to already released CO2.
Could this affect our timekeeping systems like GPS?
Yes, even small changes in Earth's rotation can impact technologies like GPS, which rely on precise time measurements.
Does this affect other planets too, or just Earth?
his specific effect is unique to Earth due to its liquid water and glaciers. Other planets may experience different forces impacting their rotation.
How much longer are the days getting?
Since 2000, days have been lengthening by about 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related changes!
What’s causing the axis shift? Is it all about ice melting?
Melting ice and groundwater depletion are the main causes, redistributing mass and causing Earth’s axis to shift.
