A new study has suggested planet-warming fossil fuels are slowing down time by rapidly melting the polar ice caps.
Earth's rotation is speeding up due to melting ice at the poles and shifts in the planet's core. This change might lead to the subtraction of a second from clocks.
Earth’s changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second. Fo
