Laut Studie hat sich die Erdachse seit 1993 aufgrund von Grundwasserpumpen um 31,5 Zoll verschoben

It’s wild to think our everyday actions, like pumping water out of the ground for farming and drinking, can actually change how the Earth spins. This study confirms human activity is literally heavy enough to shift the planet’s axis. This points to a huge future challenge: we have to figure out much better ways to manage our water resources globally. If we keep going like this, we’re looking at major problems down the road, from faster sea-level rise to who knows what else. We need new tech and smart policies now to deal with our impact on a planetary scale.

What about the trillions of gallons of oil that have been pumped out of the Earth in the last 100 years?
