Vouched, not sure why this article was marked dead, though maybe software considered the format was click bait.

It's more scientists don't know for certain why. I'd read some time ago they do know that atmosphere winds can impact the time, this article seems to hit on most culprits. The water melting off the poles distributing mass outwards certainly has to have an impact as well.

    Possibly people thought "We know why days are getting longer, it's because of drag from the Moon" and then they thought they had the answer, so the article must be rubbish --> Flagged.

    <fx: shrug> I don't really know how the HN crowd thinks.

    Thanks for vouching for it ... I did think it was unexpectedly interesting.
