The melting of polar ice due to global warming is causing Earth's rotation to slow down, impacting precision timekeeping. Studies suggest that increased polar ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica is affecting global timekeeping by decreasing Earth's angular velocity. This phenomenon is a result of climate change affecting how we synchronize clocks to tell time.
