Due to global warming, if the ice in the polar region melts and some of this water flows to the equatorial region, then

Suppose all the people in the world line up at the equator and all start running at speed $v_{rel}$ relative to the surface of the Earth along the equatorial circle. The initial angular velocity of the Earth is $\omega_0$. Let the moment of inertia of the Earth be $I_E$,the moment of inertia of all people be $I_P$,and the radius of the Earth be $R$.
