Collapse related because burning fossil fuels is causing the earth to budge at the equator.

This is - incredibly - slowing the rotation of the planet and lengthening the hours of daylight in each day and making each day longer.

This can - because we use extremely precise atonic clocks- to direct and regulate internet traffic - disrupt critical systems such as financial transactions and GPS navigation.

How? Ice in the mountains, glaciers and high plateaus is melting and running down to the world’s oceans. As the world turns more water gathers at the equator and thus slows the rotation of the planet.

Look at us go.
