If global warming occurs over the next century

Reference no: EM13645881

If global warming occurs over the next century, it is likely that the polar ice caps of the earth will melt and the water will be distributed closer to the equator. How would this change the moment of inertia of the earth? Would the length of a day (one revolution) increase or decrease?
