The media is absolutely clueless about the direction and implications of climate change. Here's a recent example:

Climate change to make Earth spin FASTER and create POWERFUL storms
.

The article is bonkers because the Earth isn't actually warming up, but instead it's been cooling slightly for about 20 years and will be cooling more for approximately 10 to 50 years or thereabouts. Or possibly longer.

However, because the Earth is cooling its rotation will speed up some, whereas it wouldn't really speed up if the Earth was actually warming.

If the Earth was warming, the polar ice caps would melt, as the article says, but that would move water mass outward, from the poles to the equator, which would slow the Earth's rotation slightly.

Instead, since the Earth is cooling, that will move water mass towards the poles, into the ice caps, creating the spinning ice skater effect, thus slightly increasing the speed of Earth's rotation.

Thus we can expect to see negative leap seconds for awhile.

Cs have said Earth is slowing down and numerous articles of recent years have reported the same.

A: Yes but that is happening elsewhere as well. All part of the "opening up" phenomenon.

Q: (L) So, you mean that what we've speculated about sinkholes and cracks in the earth... What is causing this opening up?

A: Misalignment, or rather sliding of layers of crust of earth due to slowing of rotation.

Q: (L) Okay, what is causing this slowing of rotation?

A: We have mentioned the approach of companion star and its tendency to "ground" the system.
 
Permafrost at outposts in the Canadian Arctic is thawing 70 years earlier than predicted, an expedition has discovered, in the latest sign that the global climate crisis is accelerating even faster than scientists had feared.

A team from the University of Alaska Fairbanks said they were astounded by how quickly a succession of unusually hot summers had destabilized the upper layers of giant subterranean ice blocks that had been frozen solid for millennia.

ā€œWhat we saw was amazing,ā€ Vladimir E. Romanovsky, a professor of geophysics at the university, told Reuters by telephone. ā€œItā€™s an indication that the climate is now warmer than at any time in the last 5,000 or more years.ā€

With governments meeting in Bonn this week to try to ratchet up ambitions in United Nations climate negotiations, the teamā€™s findings, published on June 10 in Geophysical Research Letters, offered a further sign of a growing climate emergency.

The paper was based on data Romanovsky and his colleagues had been analyzing since their last expedition to the area in 2016. The team used a modified propeller plane to visit exceptionally remote sites, including an abandoned Cold War-era radar base more than 300 km from the nearest human settlement.

Diving through a lucky break in the clouds, Romanovsky and his colleagues said they were confronted with a landscape that was unrecognizable from the pristine Arctic terrain they had encountered during initial visits a decade or so earlier.

The vista had dissolved into an undulating sea of hummocks - waist-high depressions and ponds known as thermokarst. Vegetation, once sparse, had begun to flourish in the shelter provided from the constant wind.

Torn between professional excitement and foreboding, Romanovsky said the scene had reminded him of the aftermath of a bombardment.

ā€œItā€™s a canary in the coalmine,ā€ said Louise Farquharson, a post-doctoral researcher and co-author of the study. ā€œItā€™s very likely that this phenomenon is affecting a much more extensive region and thatā€™s what weā€™re going to look at next.ā€

Scientists are concerned about the stability of permafrost because of the risk that rapid thawing could release vast quantities of heat-trapping gases, unleashing a feedback loop that would in turn fuel even faster temperature rises.

Even if current commitments to cut emissions under the 2015 Paris Agreement are implemented, the world is still far from averting the risk that these kinds of feedback loops will trigger runaway warming, according to models used by the U.N.-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

With scientists warning that sharply higher temperatures would devastate the global south and threaten the viability of industrial civilization in the northern hemisphere, campaigners said the new paper reinforced the imperative to cut emissions.

ā€œThawing permafrost is one of the tipping points for climate breakdown and itā€™s happening before our very eyes,ā€ said Jennifer Morgan, Executive Director of Greenpeace International. ā€œThis premature thawing is another clear signal that we must decarbonize our economies, and immediately.ā€
 
NASIRIYAH, IRAQ - As one of the hottest countries in the world, with around half of its terrain covered in desert, Iraq is no stranger to stiflingly hot summers.

Working hours have changed, with businesses opening and closing later to take advantage of the cooler evenings.

Baghdad residents shutter themselves away during the searing afternoons, then re-emerge around midnight or later for a belated dinner in the manageable 35 deg C heat.

Inside, they crank up air-conditioning units, putting extra strain on the country's dilapidated power grid and causing the much-despised outages that sparked massive protests last year.

Further south in the oil-rich province of Basra, the heat has reached life-threatening levels.

Oil companies have hoisted purple flags above their facilities to signal the highest possible danger levels for those working on the fields given the heatwave.

With temperatures set to rise further in the weeks ahead, government officials are bracing themselves.

"The heat is reaching levels we haven't registered since 2011," says Mr Amer al-Jaberi of the state meteorological office. "It's going to be a hot summer."

A starving polar bear has strayed hundreds of kilometres from its natural Arctic habitat and wandered, exhausted, into the major Russian industrial city of Norilsk in northern Siberia.

The female bear, visibly weak and seemingly ill, lay despondently on the ground for hours on Tuesday (June 18) in Norilsk's suburbs, its feet caked in mud, occasionally rising to sniff around for food.

It is the first polar bear seen in the city in more than 40 years, according to local environmentalists.

Mr Oleg Krashevsky, a local wildlife expert who filmed the polar bear close up, said it was unclear what had brought the animal to the city, although it was possible it had simply got lost. He said it had watery eyes and could clearly not see well.

Climate change has been damaging polar bears' sea-ice habitats and forced them to scavenge more for food on land, bringing them into contact with people and inhabited areas.

A state of emergency was declared in a remote inhabited area of northern Russian earlier this year when dozens of hungry polar bears were seen scavenging for food and entering public buildings and homes.

State wildlife experts are expected to arrive in Norilsk on Wednesday to assess the bear's condition.

Local residents in the city known for nickel production came out to photograph the bear and look at it, with police preventing them from getting too close. Mr Krashevsky said it was not clear what would be done with the polar bear, as it looked too weak to be taken back to its natural habitat.

Himalayan glacier melt has doubled over the last 40 years, according to new research made possible by declassified cold war era satellite imagery.

The 650 glaciers under study in parts of China, India, Bhutan and Nepal were found to be melting at the rate of about 0.43m of water a year between 2000 and 2016, or twice as fast as they did between 1975 and 2000.

About 13 per cent of the ice seen in 1975 disappeared by 2000. In the next 16 years, another 15 per cent of the original glaciers vanished.

Those glaciers feed rivers that run from western Pakistan to central China, providing water for as many as a billion people.

The scale of the ice is so grand that the frozen top of Asia is commonly referred to as the "third pole," after Antarctica and the Arctic.
The melting was consistent across more than 2,000km. Researchers suspect the rise in regional average temperature over the last 40 years is the culprit.

The amount of energy it takes to melt that much ice "is consistent with warming temperatures recorded by meteorological stations in the region," they wrote, or about 1 deg C, though they said they were not able to be as specific as they would have liked.

"It looks just like what we would expect if warming were the dominant driver of ice loss," said Joshua Maurer, a Columbia PhD candidate and the lead author of the new Science Advances article, in a release.

Data from the study was obtained by US KH-9 Hexagon satellites used for global reconnaissance during the 1970s. The researchers accessed the images, which had been scanned by the US Geological Survey, through the agency's Earth Explorer portal.

The elevation levels were estimated using modelling and mathematical techniques, and most of the 42 images studied were taken from 1973 to 1976.

Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connexion said:
The chart shows the deviation between the ā€˜theoreticalā€™ 24-hour day length (represented by the horizontal yellow straight line), and the actual measured day length (the green curve). As you can see, the measured day length (jagged purple curve) throughout this period is longer than the theoretical day length by up to four milliseconds/day (see year 1971). The red curve shows the cumulative time difference between the theoretical day duration and the observed day duration (+25 seconds between 1970 and 2010).

Notice also that since 2003 the average measured day length has been getting longer (blue ascending line on the right of the chart), from an average of +0.3 ms per day in 2003 to an average of +1.0 ms per day in 2011. Since 2003 the rate at which the Earthā€™s spin is slowing down seems to be accelerating.

Apparently the rate of decreasing has slowed down. although next chance to add a second is on June 30, 2019. But perhaps the habbit of leap seconds is being phased out, since:
"Despite the publicity given to the 2015 leap second, Internet network failures occurred due to the vulnerability of at least one class of router.[63] Also, interruptions of around 40 minutes duration occurred with Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Netflix, Amazon, and Apple's music streaming series Beats 1.[64]

Several versions of the Cisco Systems NEXUS 5000 Series Operating System NX-OS (versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.2) are affected.[65]

The 2015 leap second also affected the Altea airlines reservation system used by Qantas and Virgin Australia.[66]

Cloudflare was affected by the 2016 leap second. Its DNS resolver implementation calculated a negative number when subtracting two timestamps obtained from the Go programming language's time.Now() function, which then used only a real-time clock source.[67] This could have been avoided by using a monotonic clock source, which has since been added to Go 1.9.[68]

There were concerns that farming equipment using GPS during harvests occurring on December 31, 2016 would be affected by the 2016 leap second.[69]"
For discussions of whether to maintain or do away with leap seconds see. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/time/metrologia-leapsecond.pdf and Leap seconds

I have been wondering what the loss of one second would mean for the Earth as a decrease in rotational speed would mean less kinetic energy which would most likely then be converted to heat generated due to friction. Also if one spins a fluid or semi solid sphere, the compression caused by the rotation would decrease leading to mass moving back toward the axis of rotation in this case the poles, again causing more generation of heat.

This article tells us, what we could otherwise calculate, namely that the Earth at the Equator passes a distance of 460 meters in one second. What would be interesting to calculate would be the change in kinetic energy of a globe like the Earth with its variously distributed mass throughout its lithosphere, rotating at its present speed, when its speed is changed amounting to a distance covered that is 460 meters less. Probably someone has made a model and done the math. At any rate, if one could calculate the amount of kinetic energy converted to heat energy or internal energy when the the speed of the rotation of the Earth is reduced then one could model the significance if any.

ā€œItā€™s an unseasonably cold system, and really, this is right in line with what weā€™ve experienced pretty much this entire spring,ā€ Weissbluth said.
Preliminary data from the National Weather Service indicates this May has been cooler and wetter than average. This yearā€™s average May temperature of 45.1 degrees was 3.7 degrees cooler than the long-term normal of 48.8.

Steamboat Springs received 4.26 inches of water in May, nearly double the norm of 2.24 inches. The 9.3 inches of snow the area received in May is more than three times greater than the May normal of 2.5 inches.

So far, June is trending at average temperatures, but the area is exceeding the long-term average with 1.67 inches of water so far this month, compared to 1.36 inches the area has usually received in the first 20 days of June.

ā€œItā€™s been colder and wetter than average, and thatā€™s exacerbated by the past few summers being warmer and drier than average,ā€ Weissbluth said. ā€œWe have a double whammy here.ā€

But, Weissbluth said the Yampa Valley could soon swap the wet, cold spring weather for warmer monsoon moisture, which is typical of summer.

Behind these storms, Weissbluth said a ridge of warm, dry weather will hang over the West in the coming week. That ridge could bring summer monsoons north to New Mexico next week, though he wasnā€™t sure that would swing up to Colorado.

ā€œIā€™d like to say that this will likely mark the end of these cold and wet systems coming across the West, but Iā€™m not sure I could say that with certainty,ā€ he said.
