The Duncan Agnew's paper is behind a Nature paywall. However there's a
complimentary version at The Verge;
Melting ice, missing seconds.

"Even a few years ago, the expectation was that leap seconds would
always be positive, and happen more and more often," Duncan Agnew, a
geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of
California's San Diego campus, said in a statement. "But if you look
at changes in the Earth’s rotation, which is the reason for leap
seconds, and break down what causes these changes, it looks like a
negative one is quite likely. One second doesn’t sound like much, but
in today’s interconnected world, getting the time wrong could lead to
huge problems."
