Climate Change is Literally Making Days On Earth Longer
Briefly

Ice melt from climate change is shifting mass on Earth, slowing its rotation, and lengthening the day.
Under high warming scenarios, climate change could have a larger impact on Earth's rotation and day length compared to the moon.
Human-induced ice melt from poles affects Earth's shape, making it wider at the equator, slowing its rotation similar to a figure skater's pirouette.
