"It gives context as to the gravity, if I may, of the ongoing climate ," Adhikari told ABC News.The redistribution of mass driven by melting of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets occurred at unprecedented rates over the last two decades, according to the study. While additional milliseconds added to a day every century won't significantly change day-to-day life for humans on Earth, the impacts will still be profound, mainly on timekeeping, Adhikari said.
