</i><b>Rising Temperatures, Rising Prices: How Climate Drives
Inflation</b><br>
Climate One<br>
Mar 29, 2024 The Climate One Podcast<br>
Climate change means extreme weather, shifting landscapes, and
generally more instability. More and more, you can feel the impacts
of climate disruption in your wallets. Drought is pushing up the
cost of candy and leading to shipping delays in the Panama Canal. <br>
<br>
Globally, researchers say climate could add one percent to inflation
every year until 2035. The costs of car insurance, health insurance
and property insurance are rising. And whether it’s tea in the
morning or wine in the evening, disrupted climate patterns and
extreme weather are making certain foods more expensive. <br>
<br>
This week, we unpack how climate change drives inflation. <br>

<b>Elizabeth Kolbert: H Is for Hope</b><br>
Climate One<br>
March 28, 2024<br>
Elizabeth Kolbert began reporting on the increasingly devastating
effects of climate change in the early 2000s – before Al Gore’s
breakthrough documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” Kolbert’s
reporting became the foundation of her book “Field Notes from a
Catastrophe,” which sounded the alarm on the causes and effects of
global warming. In the two decades since then, the frequency and
intensity of climate-induced disasters has only intensified. And
yet, Kolbert’s latest book is titled “H Is for Hope: Climate Change
from A to Z.” So where does she see cause for hope? What is the
world finally doing right? And what work still needs to be done?<br>
<br>
Join Climate One Co-Host Ariana Brocious for a live-streamed
conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist
Elizabeth Kolbert as we unpack the state of the world’s climate and
on-going efforts to mitigate future disaster.<br>

<i>[ explained - why melt waters slow down time - Beckwith reads ]</i><br>
<b>Melting Polar Ice Caps Slows Down Earth’s Rotation Making Days
Longer, Messes with Global UTC Time</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
Mar 28, 2024<br>
We know that ongoing acceleration of global warming is melting polar
ice caps more quickly. <br>
<br>
When the polar ice (located close to the Earth’s axis of rotation)
melts, the meltwater distributes over the global oceans, raising sea
levels but also increasing the so-called Moment of Inertia (I) of
the Earth system (sorry to remind you of your high school physics).
<br>
<br>
Since Angular Momentum (L) is conserved, and we calculate L = I
times omega, as I increases then omega (angular frequency of Earth,
which is tangential velocity times distance to axis of rotation)
must decrease. Thus, melting polar ice caps slows down Earth’s
rotation rate. <br>
<br>
This slowing down makes days longer, and we must compensate our
global timekeeping of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by periodic
discontinuous additions of “one leap second” every few years.
Because of accelerated ice melt, we will need to remove “one leap
second” in 2029; 3 years later than would be needed if polar ice
melt was not accelerating.<br>
<br>
Climate change really does have profound effects on our planet.<br>
<br>
Why the figure skater? Well, we are like her when her arms and legs
are tight to her body axis of spin. Melting polar ice caps is
putting mass further from the spin axis, analogous to her putting
her arms and a leg outward, slowing down the spin rate, making a
complete revolution take longer.<br>

<i>[ BBC report on the World's first "Negative Leap Second" ]</i><br>
<b>Climate change could affect timekeeping, study says</b><br>
Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth's rotation and
could impact how we keep time, a study says.<br>
<br>
Accelerating melt from Greenland and Antarctica is adding extra
water to the world's seas, redistributing mass.<br>
<br>
That is very slightly slowing the Earth's rotation. But the planet
is still spinning faster than it used to.<br>
<br>
The effect is that global timekeepers may need to subtract a second
from our clocks later than would otherwise have been the case.<br>
<br>
"Global warming is already affecting global timekeeping," says the
study, published in the journal Nature.<br>
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) - which is used by most of the
world to regulate clocks and time - is calculated by the Earth's
rotation.<br>
<br>
But the Earth's rotation rate is not constant and can therefore have
an effect on how long our days and nights are.<br>
<br>
Changes to the planet's liquid core have meant the Earth has been
spinning slightly quicker.<br>
<br>
Since the 1970s, to correct for this, about 27 leap seconds have
been added to the global clock, with timekeepers planning on
subtracting a second for the first time in 2026. This is known as a
"negative leap second."<br>
<br>
However, the study finds that ice melt caused by climate change has
partly offset that acceleration.<br>
Ice sheets are now losing mass five times faster than they were 30
years ago, meaning that the negative leap second change will not be
needed until 2029, the study suggests.<br>
<br>
"It's kind of impressive, even to me, we've done something that
measurably changes how fast the Earth rotates," Duncan Agnew, the
author of the study, told NBC News.<br>
<br>
"Things are happening that are unprecedented."<br>
<br>
The negative leap second has never been used before and, according
to the study, its use "will pose an unprecedented problem" for
computer systems across the world.<br>
<br>
"This has never happened before, and poses a major challenge to
making sure that all parts of the global timing infrastructure show
the same time," Mr Agnew, who is a researcher at the University of
California, San Diego told AFP news agency.<br>
"Many computer programs for leap seconds assume they are all
positive, so these would have to be rewritten," he added.<br>
<br>
There has been some scepticism of the study, however.<br>
<br>
Demetrios Matsakis, former chief scientist for time services at the
US Naval Observatory, told AFP that "Earth is too unpredictable to
be sure" if a negative leap second would be needed any time soon.<br>
<br>
Human activities like burning fossil fuels are causing world
temperatures to rise.<br>
<br>
That temperature rise is having a huge effect on the environment,
including the rapid melting of glaciers and ice sheets.<br>

</p>
<p><i>A negative leap second is a second that is subtracted from our
clocks to keep them in sync with the Earth's rotation. It is the
opposite of a positive leap second, which is a one-second
addition to our clocks.</i><br>
