Global warming has slowed the rotation of our planet, which may affect the weather in the future. The impact of human-caused emissions on our planet cannot be ignored, but this is the first time scientists have discovered their implications for measuring time. According to a study published by Nature, sea levels are rising at an unprecedented rate due to melting ice, which will significantly affect the functions of our planet. Higher sea levels have slowed the Earth's rotation because it changes the concentration of the plant's mass so that it rotates more slowly than before. (TAMARA DAVISON, more at standard.co.uk)
