So uh... What about that report that the 3 gorges dam that China built was going to retain so much water that it would slow the spin of the earth. Anyone else remember reading that a few years ago?

The days were getting shorter over at least the past 3 years. Now it's reversing. It's a cyclical phenomena.

Climate Change Cultists only embrace data that supports their religion.

Yeah, if you read the comments they take it apart and say it will have zero impact on humanity and is only measurable because we have very accurate instruments. One person said it was something like 0.1m every 100 years.

IIRC it was in the vicinity of 120mS/year at the peak rate of change. I was keeping up with it over the past few years but haven't looked at it in a long while. My memory could be wrong, might have been 0.120mS/year - about what you said. Regardless, a very insignificant number that doesn't cause tsunamis and earthquakes ... so I lost interest and stopped paying attention.

Accurate within 1 millimeter.

0.1 M / 100 Years = 1 millimeter/year
