[time-nuts] Global warming to shorten day by 0.12msec
According to the local engineering paper, Felix Landerer from Max Planck in Hamburg has run the IPCC numbers through the math and found that in 2200 Earth will rotate .12 msec faster due to mass redistributions. The Moon's tidal friction slows it down by 0.23 msec/century it says. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. ___ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts

Are you sure this isn't due to McDonalds of Hamburger, and Global Widening... of Girth? -Chuck Harris Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: According to the local engineering paper, Felix Landerer from Max Planck in Hamburg has run the IPCC numbers through the math and found that in 2200 Earth will rotate .12 msec faster due to mass redistributions.

From: Poul-Henning Kamp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [time-nuts] Global warming to shorten day by 0.12msec Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 14:04:22 + Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the local engineering paper, Felix Landerer from Max Planck in Hamburg has run the IPCC numbers through the math and found that in 2200 Earth will rotate .12 msec faster due to mass redistributions. That would amount to slightly more than 4 leap seconds each year. So much for end of each half year preference. Seems like a better thing to fix that broken Posix standard.
