➀ A new study reveals that humans have tilted the Earth by 31.5 inches in less than two decades, contributing to climate change. The study estimates that 2,150 gigatons of groundwater were pumped from 1993 to 2010, leading to a sea level rise of over 6 millimeters. This small amount of sea level rise has a significant impact on Earth's climate. ➁ The study finds that the redistribution of groundwater, particularly from mid-latitudes to regions like western North America and northwestern India, has the largest impact on the Earth's rotational pole. ➂ The research suggests that understanding past polar motion data can help in studying the effects of groundwater redistribution on climate change.
