Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) may lose a second for the first time. How much can change in a second? The impact of climate change has been felt across the globe in rising temperatures and rising ...

One day in the next couple of years, everyone in the world will lose a second of their time. Exactly when that will happen is being influenced by humans, according to a new study, as melting polar ice ...

The Earth's rotation is about to accelerate significantly. According to scientists, July 9, July 22, and August 5 of this year will be some of the shortest days in recent memory as a result, slicing ...

Climate change is causing so much polar ice melt that it’s slowing down Earth’s rotation and — here’s the kicker — it will alter how we measure time in the future. That’s the outrageous conclusion ...

If you've felt like summer days are flying by, you're not wrong—at least not scientifically. Experts have observed that Earth's rotation is speeding up, making some days slightly shorter than the ...

Global warming caused by climate change is shifting how quickly the Earth's rotation is speeding up and affecting the time we keep, according to a study published Wednesday. Research by University of ...
