[tz] Negative leap second in main stream media.

[Arthur David Olson]

 '...although the core is causing the planet to spin faster, the planetary
shape changes caused by a warming climate are slowing that process. Absent

require timekeepers to insert a “negative leap second” at the end of 2026.
Because of climate change, that might not be necessary until 2029.'

clocks," Washington Post, 2024-03-28. Behind a paywall:
