The melting of polar ice sheets due to climate change is causing Earth's rotation to slow down and its axis to shift, potentially surpassing the moon's influence on these dynamics and affecting technologies like GPS.
The huge northern ice sheet is in the middle of its second major melt event this year, a warning sign for the planet.
So far, this year's summer may not give associations to climate change, but for the past 30 years, summer has actually been a full 12 days longer in Oslo.
Since 1972, the giant island’s ice sheet has lost 11 quadrillion pounds of water.
The seven-year-long work on the system shows that West Antarctic ice sheets are melting at a rapid rate.
