• The Earth’s axis of rotation is shifting due to climate change and movements in the Earth’s interior. The corresponding polar motion is triggered by shifts in mass such as the melting of polar ice caps.
  • For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to fully explain the various causes of long-term polar motion in the most comprehensive modelling to date, using AI methods.
  • Their model and their observations show that climate change and global warming will have a greater influence on the Earth’s rotational speed than the effect of the moon, which has determined the increase in the length of the day for billions of years.

    Hell yeah, five cents extra per paycheck, minus 10% per paycheck in union dues.

      if that’s common in America then there’s no wonder people hate unions over there.

      my dues round out under half a percent and are tax deductible.

        I’m on track to make 100k plus this year with a pension and full medical, dental, and vision(the States doesn’t have universal health care, so that shit is expensive)

        Anyone who hates unions is a massive idiot lol. What I pay in dues is peanuts compared to what I get lol.
