Human-driven climate change has 'slowed the Earth's rotation' and could affect how we measure time, study suggests
The melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica is said to have slowed the rotation of the Earth because it has changed where the planet's mass is concentrated.
Yes, the idea with spinning around and redistributing weight while doing so means: bringing your arms INto your body, means spinning faster.
They are claiming the opposite.
So it still does not make sense.
Yeah, the claim in the article is that ice weight towards the poles has melted which essentially moves the weight away from the poles, and the poles is the center of rotation. So move mass away from the center of rotation and the spinning body slows down. Again I think it's all a scam, but the claim itself makes logical sense
