Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again.

So today we are going to talk about the days getting longer.

And it's an interesting little side note. This isn't something that is immediately pressing,

but it's definitely something to note because it shows yet another example of how the Earth is changing. Okay, so basically what is

occurring is the planet is getting warmer.

As the planet gets warmer, the ice sheets melt.

That water, well, it flows towards the equator.

There is more mass at the equator,

therefore it alters the way the earth spends.

It's making it slower, lengthening the days.

It is basically imperceptible,

but it is something that can be measured.

And the rate at which it is occurring is speeding up.

So it's something that on the giant list of issues that a warming planet causes

it's not a super high priority at the moment, but it's definitely something to notice.

You know, there's one example that everybody keeps going to when they're trying to explain this, and I don't like using the analogies that everybody else uses, but honestly, I can't think of a better one.

Figure skaters, when they're spinning, if you raise or lower your hands while you're

spinning, it adjusts the speed at which the skater spends. And it's the same basic premise.

Again, right now we're talking about something that is measured in milliseconds.

So unlike most climate news, it's not doom and gloom,

but it's something to note, and it adds to the body of evidence that suggests a

warming planet is having significant impacts on the world as a whole and the dynamics around it.
