1. >Rising sea levels caused by climate change are making the Earth “fatter” at the equator – slowing down its rotation and making the days longer.

   This is very alarming and an issue that could have huge implications for “precise timekeeping and space navigation”, according to the study. One of the seemingly never-ending problems that we’re creating for ourselves by failing to address glaring environmental issues.

   Sleepwalking into disaster.

2. So climate change gives us more time!

3. More daylight means more uv more uv means more cancer.

   Why are we the way we are?

4. The article does a poor job of describing the actual physical mechanism that’s slowing down the Earth’s rotation. Anyone have an idea?
