We've pumped so much groundwater that we've nudged Earth's spin: The shifting of mass and consequent sea level rise due to groundwater withdrawal has caused the Earth's rotational pole to wander nearly a meter in two decades

By pumping water out of the ground and moving it elsewhere, humans have shifted such a large mass of water that the Earth tilted nearly 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) east between 1993 and 2010 alone, according to a new study.

        First link takes you to lemmy.ca directly to the article. However, if you are a lemmy.world user, you will not be logged in.

        Second link takes you to the lemmy.ca community, but via lemmy.world and keeps you logged in, but doesn’t directly open the article. So you’d have to scroll to find it.

        I don’t know how to do both at the same time – make a link that can be directly followed to the discussion on lemmy.ca without taking you off lemmy.world. I’m still figuring some things out :)
