'Unprecedented' Sea Level Rise Is Making Earth's Days Longer

NASA Animation Shows Sea Level Rise In Past 30 Years
By Jess Thomson
Science Reporter
 
Our changing climate is impacting our planet in a huge number of ways—ranging from powerful hurricanes and intense droughts to invasive species and ocean acidification—but there might be another bizarre effect that you've never heard of.


Climate change might actually be slowly changing the length of a day on Earth, according to a new paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

This is a result of sea levels rising—because of increased temperatures and the melting of the polar ice caps—thereby causing a redistribution of mass from the poles of our planet toward the equator.

"Modern climate change is unprecedented. In recent decades, it has accelerated the melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets, leading to a rise in sea level," researchers wrote in the paper. "The melting of ice sheets and global glaciers results in sea-level rise, a pole-to-Equator mass transport increasing Earth's oblateness and resulting in an increase in the length of day (LOD)."

If you are an incompetent scientist or science reporter, almost any theory sounds plausible. :whistle:

Every day in the last month has been 110-120 F where I live.  We have a name we call this phenomena:  "Normal."

Here in the Florida of Iowa in the middle of July, after a couple of hot days in the low 90's, the highs for the next week will be right around 80F. We've only managed to get up around 95F as the highest temp this year, and under a dozen days in the 90's for the year.

We are burning up here.

Can they make the years longer?  Some could use a little more time.

I don't want to sound like a pessimist here, but wouldn't that also make Earth's nights longer?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

How do they know this is "unprecedented"?
Compare tide charts for some 200 to 400 years out of 4,600,000,000 years?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"'Unprecedented' Sea Level Rise"

Just as bad when the last ice age started to end and sea level rose about four hundred feet? Because that's quite the precedent to beat here.
