I see that we have to wait an extra second for 2017.
Apparently the Earth's rotation is slowing due to the increase in population.

So you have a rotating sphere. The velocity of Rotation is altering when moving mass from or to the axis.
The world Population lives in the majority bewteen sea Level and about 1000 high. The radius of the earth is approximatelly 6880000 m. So any dislocation of mass between vegeation and human mass is negligeable.
Uf you however move a lot of mass over a Long distance like in teh Chilean erathquale you get an effect.
