Abstract:
Very recently a new theory has been added to the list of the standard model of man-made climate change. Namely, this theory claims that the extraction of groundwater has caused the Earth' rotational pole to drift 78.48 cm toward 64.16 degrees east at a rate of about 4.36 cm per year from 1993 to 2010. This unbelievable research was submitted to a Peer-Review Journal, The Geophysical Research Letters, and was published in June of this year, 2023. The title is indicated below the above image. Click on the title to read the whole paper. However, before examining this theory, I would like to bring to your attention that this same journal has published last year, Aug 1, 2022 another paper, claiming that global warming has led to significant melting of glaciers due to which our planet's axis of rotation has been moving faster since the 1990s. In other words, the high carbon dioxide emission has caused the Earth to spin faster than usual.
