A landmark study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth reveals that climate-driven ice melt is lengthening Earth's days at 1.33 milliseconds per century — a rate unprecedented in the past 3.6 million years. By the end of this century, the climate effect on Earth's rotation could surpass the gravitational drag of the Moon itself, with cascading consequences for precision timekeeping, space navigation, and our understanding of humanity's planetary-scale impact.
