A new study has found that the melting of polar ice due to human-driven climate change has slightly slowed the earth’s rotation and “could affect how we measure time”.

The study, “A global timekeeping problem postponed by global warming”, was released on Wednesday by the Nature journal.

The study revealed that the melting of the ice has reduced the speed of the planet’s rotation but noted that the earth is still spinning a bit faster than it used to.

The overall increase in speed means that for the first time in history, a second will need to be taken off.
