| Nov 26, 2020 at 13:29 | comment | added | user18801 | I think it's clear that both melting ice and larger ocean volume due to thermal expansion will move mass further from the rotational axis, and thus increase the moment of inertia and thus decrease the rotation rate slightly. However that's just a physicist's naive approach and ignores lots of the details (do changes in ocean currents make a difference? I guess not? What about tides once there is more fluid mass?) and I don't think counts as an answer. | |

Added blog link with trepidation.

| Nov 20, 2020 at 8:16 | comment | added | JeopardyTempest | Don't know anymore than you, but thinking that the ice caps melting might actually move mass away from the axis of rotation because the Poles are along the axis of rotation, while if the water moves away from the Poles (even if it managed to be slightly closer to the center of Earth... which may not be true due to the oblate shape of the Earth), it'd be further from the axis? | |
