Earth Rotation Faster or Slower? Corporate Media Can’t Get Fear Porn Straight​

According to the corporate media, Climate Change has slowed the Earth’s rotation — no wait! — the Earth is spinning faster than ever before.
These stories were published on the same day last month, March 27.
Per far-left CBS News, the sciencey headline tells us: “Earth is spinning faster than it used to. Clocks might have to skip a second to keep up”:

For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to. Clocks may have to skip a second — called a “negative leap second” — around 2029, a study in the journal Nature said Wednesday.

Okay, so if we subtract a second, does that mean I get more sleep or less sleep?
The reason for the Earth spinning faster is…You guessed it: “Ice melting at both of Earth’s poles has been counteracting the planet’s burst of speed and is likely to have delayed this global second of reckoning by about three years[.]”
Is there nothing my air conditioner can’t do?
And the only thing that can prevent us from having to subtract that second is…socialism.
But!
Over at far-left NBC News, the sciencey headline tells us: “Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, with possible consequences for timekeeping”:

“Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time,” warns NBC. “A study … found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven primarily by human-caused climate change — has caused the Earth to spin less quickly than it would otherwise.”

What was the middle thing again?
So if you add up the CBS faster claim and the NBC slower claim, the outcome is…Everything is fine! The Earth is spinning normally.
Not The Bee, which first discovered these two stories, asks [emphasis original]:

So Earth is spinning faster, and we might have to adjust our clocks, but then Earth is spinning slower due to global warming, which could also mess with our clocks. Are you two corporate news outlets trying to tell us something? Is global warming… Good?!

Here’s the most interesting part via the clown show we call NBC News:

Because of a combination of factors, the Earth has begun to spin faster in recent decades, a temporary trend that has prompted scientists for the first time to consider subtracting a single “negative leap second” from clocks worldwide as soon as 2026. But the melting of polar ice has delayed that possibility by about three years[.]

Yeah, it sounds like global warming is good.
Excuse me while I go burn some tires.
Listen, when it comes to this aggressively stupid nonsense, this is all you need to know… These alarmist lunatics are 0-53.
In other words, 53 times, these “experts” knocked on our front door, assured us a meteor would hit our home, and told us we must immediately pack up everything and find another place to live. Fifty-three times, they have been wrong, but they demand we believe them and move for a fifty-forth time. At this point, these people are pointing and laughing at us: Look at those rubes packing up their stuff. They bought the meteor story again.

I thought the rotation speed was driven by daylight savings. You know. Spring forward. Fall back. Like advancing or retarding a distributor.

The last leap second was a pain in the ass. Leap seconds aren't a new thing, but hardware and software vendors still forget to fucking code for it.

I thought it was the eclipse…

Or was it snail Darters.

Nuclear power?

Gay unborn baby whales?

If we all coexist will the world speed up?

I’m very confused.

Well, I mean technically it's slowing down, the days are getting longer by something like couple milliseconds per century or something just slightly smaller than the time a liberal can have a logical thought.

Media is just a propaganda machine anymore. Even when reporting actual news they have to inject and slant the propganda with it.
