  "textContent": "The Earth’s rotation has never been perfectly stable; the spin has changed significantly throughout history. Even slight changes on the planet, from melting ice sheets to flux in the Moon's gravitational effects, can make days longer or shorter. But for most of Earth’s history, the changes were tiny and driven mostly by natural forces. Now, a new study shows that modern, human-induced climate change is accelerating this effect, lengthening days at \"unprecedented\" rates.\n\nContinue Reading\n\n**Category:** Environment, Science\n\n**Tags:** Climate Crisis, Global Warming, University of Vienna, Earth, Time",
