Study Finds Humans Tilted Earth By A Shocking 31.5 Inches Contributing To Climate Change

Scientists are constantly on the lookout for ways to slow down climate change, such as one study that devised a $200 trillion diamond dust umbrella for Earth. They are also seeking all the possible contributors to climate change, which even includes belching cows (seriously). Now, a new study finds humans tilted the Earth by a shocking 31.5-inches in less than two decades, and in turn, contributed to climate change.

According to climate models, scientists estimate humans pumped 2,150 gigatons of groundwater, which is equivalent to more than 6 millimeters (0.24-inches) of sea level rise, from 1993 to 2010. While .24-inches of sea level rise may sound like an extremely small amount, it may actually have a fairly large impact on Earth’s climate.

In a statement, Ki-Weon Seo, a geophysicist at Seoul National University, and lead on the new study, remarked, “Earth’s rotational pole actually changes ...
