Earth’s Rotation Speeding Up: Melting Ice to Make Time Disappear in New Study

by

Researchers in San Diego, California have found that global warming is affecting the Earth’s rotation. According to a recent study, melting polar ice caused by human activities is slowing down the Earth’s rotation, leading to potential changes in timekeeping systems. This phenomenon could result in the subtraction of a second from global clocks for the first time in history. The study, published in the journal Nature, highlights the significant impact of melting ice on the …

Geoengineering: Arctic Researchers Brave Dangerously Cold Temperatures to Save Melting Ice – Is It Worth the Risk?

by

Cambridge Bay, Canada – A team of scientists is conducting a daring experiment in the Arctic to combat global warming by thickening sea ice in an effort to slow its melting. This unconventional approach to geoengineering involves pumping seawater onto the frozen ocean surface to promote ice formation and reduce the absorption of sunlight by the dark ocean, which accelerates warming. The project, led by Dr. Shaun Fitzgerald of the University of Cambridge’s Centre for …
