Climate change is slowing Earth’s spin at unprecedented rate compared to past 3.6 million years

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth’s rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 milliseconds per century—is unprecedented in the past 3.6 million years. The team reconstructed ancient day-length fluctuations using the fossil remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.

An exact 24-hour day is not a given—day length changes due to gravitational effects of the moon, as well as various geophysical processes acting within Earth’s interior, at its surface, and in the atmosphere.

Today’s climate change also affects day length: prior work showed that from 2000 to 2020 our days were lengthened by a rate equivalent to 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related factors, especially the continental-ocean mass redistribution due to the melting of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers.

In a new study, appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Mostafa Kiani Shahvandi (University of Vienna) and Benedikt Soja (ETH Zurich) demonstrate that this rapid rise in day length is unparalleled over the last 3.6 million years.

You know, I’m not even going to delve into the notion that they really do not have data, and zero comparisons to previous Holocene warm periods. We all know it’s simply being made up, that all their conclusions are pre-formed

To answer this question, the researchers used the fossilized remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.

“From the chemical composition of the foraminifera fossils, we can infer sea-level fluctuations and then mathematically derive the corresponding changes in day length,” says first author Kiani Shahvandi from the University of Vienna.

“Infer”. Good grief. And, I’m sure you were expecting this, right?

To draw more robust conclusions, the team employed a probabilistic deep learning algorithm—a physics-informed diffusion model.

“This model captures the physics of sea-level change, while remaining robust to the large uncertainties inherent in paleoclimate data,” adds the climate scientist and geophysicist.

It’s all so tiresome.
