Reply to comment by seamus1982 in Earth's inner core seems to be slowing its spin according to new research published in Nature Geoscience. The study authors suggest this might be part of an approximately 70-year cycle where the core speeds up and slows down relative to the rest of the planet. by shiruken

Probably polar reversal. Maybe why we are experiencing no winter in the northern hemisphere. Soon our Winters will be our Summers and our Summers will be our Winters.

No, thats not how seasons work. Seasons are caused by Earth's tilt. And we are experiencing winter in the northern hemisphere.

I hope you are being sarcastic. That's not how any of this works.

I think the summer/winter thing has more to do with the tilt of the rotational axis than any thing to do with the speed of inner core.
