Is there nothing fossil fuels can\u2019t do?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Climate change makes the Earth wobble on its axis. Now, if you shower too long, and enjoy that beefsteak too much, you could affect the tilt Earths axis. Are you feeling guilty yet, or just fed up that modern science is indistinguishable from the prophesies of Neolithic shamen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth is wobbling and days are getting longer \u2014 and humans are to blame<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Harry Baker<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New studies, which utilized AI to monitor the effects of climate change on Earth\u2019s spin, have shown that our days are getting increasingly longer and that our planet will get more wobbly in the future. These changes could have major implications for humanity\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re talking of fractions of a millisecond:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, these changes will be imperceptible to us, but they could have serious knock-on effects, including forcing us to introduce negative leap seconds, interfering with space travel and altering our planet\u2019s inner core, researchers warn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s probably your air-conditioner in Power Mode, but it could be due to crustal plates shifting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day on Earth lasts about 86,400 seconds. But the exact time it takes our planet to complete a single rotation can shift by tiny fractions of milliseconds every year due to a number of factors, such as tectonic plate movements, changes to the inner core\u2019s rotation<\/u><\/a> and gravitational tugging from the moon<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And it might have something to do with the moon, or the inner molten core of Earth, which might be affected by the sun\u2019s magnetic field. I mean, we really have no idea, but let\u2019s remake our electricity grid just in case we lose a millisecond?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we melt the ice at the poles and the seas rise higher over the equator, the Earth spins slower just like the iceskater who spreads out their arms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few decades, the rate of ice loss from Earth\u2019s polar regions, particularly Greenland and Antarctica<\/u><\/a>,<\/strong> has been increasing rapidly due to global warming<\/u><\/a>, leading to rising sea levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is all very well, except Antarctica hasn\u2019t warmed in a thousand years<\/a>, the coastline hasn\u2019t changed since we first took photos of it<\/a>, and 600 Pacific Islands are not sinking<\/a> or shrinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus only 4 years ago, scientists were telling us the days were speeding up<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

All those emissions sped the world up, and now all those emissions are slowing us down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020 scientists made a startling discovery. They found that, instead of slowing down, the Earth has started to spin faster. It is now spinning faster than at any time in the last 50 years. In fact, the shortest 28 days on record all occurred during 2020. \u2014 ScienceFocus<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Guardian<\/em> they\u2019re afraid the extra millisecond will disrupt internet traffic, or screw up financial transactions and GPS. It\u2019s be like Y2K all over again, and we all know how catastrophic that was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the language here, these people so want to believe we are Gods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate crisis is making days longer, study finds<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Damien Carrington, The Guardian<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phenomenon is a striking demonstration of how humanity\u2019s actions are transforming the Earth, scientists said, rivalling natural processes that have existed for billions of years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change in the length of the day is on the scale of milliseconds but this is enough to potentially disrupt internet traffic, financial transactions and GPS<\/a> navigation, all of which rely on precise timekeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other thing that\u2019s persisted for billions of years is radical sweeping climate change. Like this (below). Nature has been screwing up our GPS, our financial transactions and our space travel for millions of years and we just didn\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wait til you see how solid this research is \u2014 like climate modeling but with less data:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I mean, how accurate were the clocks at recording milliseconds in 1901? We didn\u2019t even define what a second was until 1968. and it\u2019s not like we\u2019ve got many measurements of changes in Earths\u2019 core since then either. Ask Jules Verne?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new study, published July 15 in the journal PNAS<\/u><\/a>, researchers used an advanced artificial intelligence<\/u><\/a> program that combines real-world data with the laws of physics to predict how the planet\u2019s spin will change over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this is a Nature<\/em> paper.  Yet the whole thing could have been an AI school project from start to finish. An AI awarded an AI a grant, which produced a \u201cpaper\u201d which an AI editor thought was worth publishing, and AI journalists turned into nonsense headlines, which an AI audience clapped. And no one anywhere thought to ask whether the researchers knew Antarctica is not melting, and seas are barely rising, and length of day was shrinking only a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Government is strangling real science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
