Those stories both appeared on March 27. Both are still up, too. Apparently the earth is spinning both faster and more slowly at the same time!!!!
Dana? Dana! Ah, here she is…
The NBC story is here; CBS’s is here.
I wonder what NPR says? That should settle it. After all, it is a news organization built on a foundation of robust editorial standards and practices, well-constructed to withstand the hardest of gazes.

In fairness the “speeding up” article does acknowledge this:
“Ice melting at both of Earth’s poles has been counteracting the planet’s burst of speed and is likely to have delayed this global second of reckoning by about three years, Agnew said.”
Company’s ad blocker won’t let me read the other one.
CBS is one of those that make you try a couple of times and them has a “I’ll do it next time” link.
Ah. I’ll try that next time.
I refuse to trust anyone named “Agnew.” And I believe his comment is what one would call “speculation framed as fact.”
AND I see that I posted before I had added the visual. Off to a good start, as usual.
I mean I don’t disagree that they are all propaganda. There may even be some level of truth to the claim.
But the balance here is the conclusion really isn’t that big of a deal. And there’s the propaganda. Trying to make a big deal out of a natural process that mankind didn’t cause and mankind isn’t going to stop.
Meanwhile, the climate change cult is spinning faster than ever, while making no progress at all.
Both stories are claiming the same thing that climate change is slowing the speed of he Earth’s rotation. The difference is that the CBS report explains that the Earth rotation is not speeding up as fast as normally expected due to a variety of issues but it pushes climate change as the one of the reasons. The NBC report leaves out or plays down the fact that the eddies in the core cause fluctuations in rotational speed. In either case only because we have a constant measurement in atomic clocks do we even recognize the phenomenon. This is like saying inflation is falling because prices are not going up as fast as before.
The story is just another way to push the existential crisis climate change represents to the globalists
Huh, but when you come out of an ice age, you expect the ice to melt…
Erm . . is the phenomenon called “Schrödinger’s Polar Ice Caps” or perhaps “Schrödinger’s Rotation Conundrum”? The Earth’s rotation either speeds up or slows down depending on your perspective or observation?

The expansion/retraction of Arctic sea ice does not seem to follow any trend – other than fluctuating a bit year-over-year. The link below to the chart – which goes back to 2007 – is from Tony Heller’s Real Climate Science website, but the chart itself originates at the OSI ASF Consortium. The OSI ASF site maintains that “sea ice processing is performed at the High Latitude processing facility, operated jointly by the Norwegian and Danish Meteorological Institutes, respectively in Oslo and Copenhagen.”

So apparently, our news outlets are just making up stories at random without the least self-awareness?
Sounds about right.
