Does anyone know where I can find what the predicted effects of global
warming on rotation due to weight redistribution are likely to be and the
potential rate of change over the next few decades or centuries, perhaps
till all the ice has gone.

This is the really interesting one. They present the accuracy of
simulated predictions of UT1, and that accuracy is much poorer than
the figures we've been discussing so far. But they make it clear that
the prediction is

In the late 1960s some stations broadcast "stepped atomic time" which had

This was the point made by Aoki et al. in 1982
