The International Earth Rotation Service has regularly added a second or two to the length of a 24-hour day in recent years.

No. They add a second to the year occasionally. The second was defined as 1/86400 of the average day, then redefined as a certain number of oscillations of a cesium atom, but the atomic clocks are more accurate than the original measurements for the length of day. 23 leap seconds have been added since 1972 with another one planned at the end of the year.

I have a signed statement from the manufacturer guaranteeing there will never be another global flood.

There is that whole fire thing, though.

The Flood has been dated rather precisely: at 11,100 BC.

The "flood" is a local tribal myth and never happened. The idea that it has been precisely dated at 11,100 BC is fiction as well.

H’mmm, if this person is correct in the assumption that the slowing of the earth’s rotation is the/a cause of global warming, What will Gore’s response be? Shall we create a massive program to put rockets in space, attached to the earth by miles of cable to be fired to increase our rotation speed back to what it was and thus stop global warming?

The Flood has been dated rather precisely: at 11,100 BC

How could that be so? According to Archbishop James Ussher of the Church of Ireland, the earth was created on October 23, 4004 BC at 9:00 AM, Pacific Daylight Time.

That is a lot of info to ponder.

Here in Texas, the climate is described as, drought conditions with intermittent flooding. Simple enough.
