[LEAPSECS] As Sea Levels Rise, The Earth Slows Down

[Stephen Scott]

Hello All;

I chanced to catch a radio broadcast today on the CBC (Canadian 
Broadcasting Corporation) that mentioned a new study resolving Munk's 
Enigma  about the earth slowing down. This was a program segment 
(duration 8:51) that was more about the rising sea level but this also 
involves the earth slowing down.

I thought you might be interested.
