I've never heard anyone ever say that the rate of the earth's rotation is changing. I suppose that I am going to have to look some more into this and see what I am able to come up with. The thought of this does seem awfully strange to me though because a day is still the same amount of time and if the rotation of the earth was slowing then it would seem that the length of a day would be getting longer at the same time.
