Ground water depletion is tilting Earth’s axis? The situation seems scarier than we want to believe

Scientists have discovered that extensive groundwater pumping, totaling 2,150 gigatons between 1993 and 2010, has tilted the Earth approximately 31.5 inches eastward. This shift, driven by the redistribution of mass, has also contributed to a 0.24-inch sea-level rise. While not immediately catastrophic, the continued extraction at this rate raises concerns about future climatic impacts.
