A new study points to climate change as causing a shift in the Earth s rotational spin.
Researchers in China say global warming is melting polar ice and that s most likely behind the recent polar drift. The study suggests rising temperatures from the burning of fossil fuels has redistributed enough water to move the North and South Poles eastward several feet since the mid-1990s.
In case you didn’t know, the earth’s poles aren’t fixed. The way water moves around the planet determines that.
Scientists say the slight change in the Earth s axis isn t enough to affect daily life, at least for now. The study appears in the journal of Geophysical Research Letters.
