Does climate change affect time?

A current study shows that climate change not only leads to extreme weather conditions, but also changes the length of the day on earth. The melting ice of the polar areas has an impact on the mass distribution of the earth and thus slows down the earth's earth, which leads to minimally longer days. This effect is expected to become even stronger in the coming decades if no measures are taken.

How do the climate and the moon influence the length of the day?

The gravity of the moon leads to tidal forces that slow down the earth's earth and thus extend the day. In addition, the climate has a small influence on the earth's earth, which can be measured by the latest satellite technology. The influence of the climate on the length of the day has fluctuated significantly in the course of the 20th century, mainly due to changes in global temperature, ice melt and the increase in sea level.

The days extend through the meltdown?

Computer simulations have shown that the average climate -related increase in the length of the day in the 21st century is significantly higher than in the previous centuries. This increase is mainly due to the progressive ice melt in Greenland and Antarctic. The mass shifts in the earth's mantle, which arise from the melting of the ice, also have a low impact on the length of the day.

outlook for the future

The forecasts show that depending on the development of greenhouse gas emissions, the climate -related extension of the days could continue to increase by 2100. In a scenario with a strong increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the effect could be greater than the influences of the moon to the length of the daily. It is therefore crucial to take measures to contain climate change in order to keep the time stable on our planet.
