Struggle to wrap your head around daylight savings? Spare a thought for the world's timekeepers, who are trying to work out how climate change is affecting Earth's rotation -- and in turn, how we keep track of time. In a strange twist, global warming could eve...

Dennis McCarthy, retired director of time for the US Naval Observatory who wasn’t part of the study, said the trend toward needing a negative leap second is clear, but he thinks it’s more to do with the Earth becoming rounder from geologic shifts from the end of the last ice age

The head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), according to a memo seen by Reuters, instructed the space agency to work with other parts of the U.S. government to devise a plan by the end of 2026 for setting what it called a

Glaciers are melting so fast that we may need to delay adding that 'negative leap second' to keep clocks aligned with Earth's rotation.
