it will alter how we measure time in the future.

Agnew concluded that if polar ice did not melt, we would have had to subtract a second from clocks all over the world by 2026. But because of ice melt slowing down Earth's rotation, this time change may come instead in 2029, he said.

I'm having trouble processing these two things.

It seems like we already were going to have altered the way we measure time. And according to the second quote the melting ice actually pushed this time frame back from 2026 to 2029?
