  No the difference in length will be too small to mean anything

  1.26 microseconds won’t make the slightest bit of difference. Even a much larger change in the length of a day wouldn’t matter. The same amount of solar heat would still be reaching the Earth, and the nights would be shortened just as much as the daylight hours.

  No. The earths axis regularly shifts and this earthquake has not produced a shift that is unusual. As for the shortening of the day, it has changed by 1 millionth of a second, that’s not enough to make a difference to anything.

  no even if it shortened days by half it wouldnt. that heat from the sun is still hitting some part of the earth.

  No.

  Global Warming is a measurement of average global temperatures which have been gradually increasing, partly or mainly due to the build up of certain gasses in the atmosphere which trap heat : (Carbon Dioxide: Methane etc).

  Although the atmosphere naturally contains these, and many more gasses (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen etc), human activity is increasing the amounts of these "Greenhouse Gasses" to levels over and above that which would be naturally occuring without significance and therefore the presence of these gasses has considerable influence in the climate of the planet.

  Humans do not have a long enough lifespan to notice the time difference.

  No, because it is like 1/1000th of a second or something, faster than the time some of those races were won or lost in Vancouver. It will do nothing to stop or speed up global warming. The quake which caused the tsunami in Indonesia and the Indian Ocean 5 years ago, also shortened the day a little like that, and nobody has noticed that, either.

  not the, are only microseconds, hopefully this will help to global warming but not hear anything in the news regarding
  i from peru .
