Climate change is mucking up time more than we thought

Climate change continues to be a huge issue, with many rushing to find ways to cool down the Arctic and slow down the thawing of ancient ice shelves all around the world. But climate change may be having an impact on something that scientists didn’t expect: time. In fact, new research suggests that climate change’s effect on time may be far greater than we previously thought. The big problem here is the melting of those previously mentioned ancient ice shelves.

That’s likely because we didn’t have access to things like GPS, and because we weren’t pumping out planet-heating pollution as quickly back then, either. Melting ice shelves are making Earth heavier and slowing down its rotation, affecting time. Now, though, human-caused climate change continues to rise, with pollution being a huge issue still. And climate change could become the new dominant factor in how time changes on Earth. As the ice continues to melt, Earth’s shape is changing slightly.
