β€œ β€’ When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation.
β€’ Additionally, a study document [link above] just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.
β€’ Understanding this relatively recent data may provide a better understanding of how to help stave off sea-level rise…"
