Climate change could affect timekeeping, study says
Melting ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, affecting how time is calculated, a new study says.

Ran across this article this morning; and thought I would share. From what it says the earth's rotation has been "speeding up" since the 1970's; and the "powers that be" have been adding a tiny amount of time to the clock each year since. In my own research I have not found any "scientific consensus" as to what has been going on with the "earth's molten core" since then for this to happen; and am wondering if anyone else has any knowledge or opinions on the matter?
