It's alarming now?

Earth’s Rotation Is Alarmingly Slowing Down

Since 1972, scientists have added 27 leap seconds to the clock—sometimes with disastrous results. Website crashes, tech service blackouts, airline reservation system snafus, and financial market wonkiness are only some of the worries, and companies like Google and Meta have even invented a method called a “leap smear” that essentially spreads the added second across the day. What could happen when scientists subtract a leap second remains to be seen.

It sounds sort of like Daylight Saving Time but without the daylight. Or the saving. (We'd be losing a second, wouldn't we?)

At any rate, sorry, it's pretty far down on my personal alarming list. 

Of course I'm not a scientist. (Now that would be alarming,)
