“Global Warming’s Impact on Earth’s Rotation May Result in Additional Leap Seconds by 2029, Scientists Warn”

The Earth’s rotation is slowing down due to global warming, potentially requiring additional leap seconds until 2029. Melting glaciers are contributing to the decrease, affecting Coordinated Universal Time. However, the introduction of leap seconds poses challenges, and researchers predict the need for more from 2035. The Earth’s mass redistribution and shape change have caused a deceleration in rotation. Alterations to UTC may be necessary sooner to maintain accurate synchronization and mitigate risks to computer networks.
