Astronomers from the Royal observatory and Catholic university of Belgium have published article about global warming and its consequences in magazine Geophysical Research Letters. According to their conclusions, these consequences are not sufficiently expected.. It appears that because of the global warming there is a delay of speed of rotation of the Earth about the axis.
At first sight, there is no connection between these two phenomena. However experts have made computer model for the analysis of influence of increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide with a velocity of 1 % per year. At such rates the assimilation of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere will happen in 70 years.
Also the length of the Earth day, with an accuracy of 10 microseconds, has been measured. It varies a little depending on change of a direction and speed of atmospheric winds and oceanic currents. The rotational moment of the Earth in complete with a land, oceans and an atmosphere should be kept. With a change of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere occurs a change in the rotational moment of the atmosphere, therefore, for its retention in the entire closed system of the planet Earth it is necessary, that the moment of rotation of the “firmest” Earth a little would change .
So, people obstruct the rotation of the Earth. True, obstruction is very weak - several microseconds per year, and it is difficult to separate people influence from other factors, which influencing the speed of rotation of the Earth. But this effect will be increasingly more noticeably for duration of tens and hundreds years. According to the forecasts of scientists, in 21 st century the speed of braking will be 11 microseconds in 10 years, i.e., in 100 years length of day will increase on 0.11 s.
