Is the sea level rise from the melting of high-latitude ice-on-land further reducing the Earth's angular speed?

International Journal of Global Warming (IJGW), Vol. 26, No. 2, 2022

Abstract: There is a consensus that the melting of high-latitude ice on land is translating into a movement of mass towards the equator that is producing a further slowdown of the Earth's angular speed because of the conservation of angular momentum. Here we show as the frequency of leap second addition to compensating for a reducing angular speed of the Earth is increasing rather than reducing, as an indication that either the movement of mass towards the equator is much less than the expected, or it has an influence much less than the expected.
