Earth's Rotation to Accelerate Due to Melting Polar Ice

Recent studies indicate that the melting of polar ice will lead to an unprecedented increase in the Earth's rotation speed. The loss of ice mass at the poles, particularly in Greenland and Antarctica, is causing a redistribution of the planet's mass, which in turn affects its rotational dynamics. This phenomenon is expected to have various implications for global climate patterns and sea levels.
