Climate change is causing the Earth's days to get longer at an unprecedented rate due to polar ice melting and shifting the Earth's center of gravity, affecting its rotation. This could impact space travel in the future.
Key Points
Polar ice melting is shifting the Earth's center of gravity towards the equator
Human-caused climate change is affecting global ocean temperatures, leading to longer days
Climate change could have subtle yet significant impacts on space travel
Pros
Increased awareness about the impact of climate change on Earth's rotation
Potential for better understanding of Earth's dynamics
Cons
Possible future challenges for space missions
Long-term implications of climate change on Earth's rotation
