As land ice from the poles melts due to rising atmospheric temperatures, the shifting weight of water across the world should cause a change to the axis upon which the Earth spins, and a slight wobble in the rotation. Also, the added weight of water towards the equator will cause the Earth to slow, much in the way a spinning figure skater would slow if he or she reached their arms out away from their body.
There's a reason it's called science fiction. And the hoax deniers will eat it up.

THE WIND TURBINES SPEED THE EARTH’S ROTATION SINCE THE GREAT MAJORITY OF WINDS FLOW FROM WEST TO EAST. THE RESISTANCE OF THE WIND TURBINE IS PROJECTED TO SUBTRACT THREE MICROSECONDS FROM EACH DAY IN A MILLION YEARS.

Longer growing seasons! More crops at higher latitudes. Fewer people starving around the world! Longer strolls in the more balmy evenings!
What’s not to like about an extra millisecond of daylight?

If everyone out west starts running east it will bring things up to speed again, until they all drown in the Atlantic anyway!
Maybe they should all bring surfboards.

"Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.
[snip]
"Everyone's God and if we don't wake up to that there's going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we're doing bad things to the atmosphere," he said.
"The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won't have air to breathe".

Bernie Sanders: Climate Change is Directly Related To Terrorism
by Michelle Fields
Nov 14, 2015
"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.
"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."

There is no end to this pseudo science bullshit!
These PC geniuses are able to determine that the earth is slowing up 1 millisecond ( .0001 second ) per year? And IT IS DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING !
