If you spin up a gyroscope in an "anti-earthwise" direction, the
whole Earth slows in its rotation. Then, as the angular momentum
is dispersed due to air friction, the whole Earth eventually speeds
back up, but the speed-up of the Earth is not necessarily immediate
because the angular momentum is first dispersed in whirls and
vortices of the air.

Conservation of angular momentum applies to a CLOSED SYSTEM.
It is nonsense to claim that it is not conserved because individual
components of the closed system may speed up or slow down.

IT'S A SHAME THAT YOU DIDN'T CONSIDER THAT. HEAT BY CONDUCTION,
CONVECTION IN AIR AND ALSO RADIANT HEAT (YES, ELECTROMAGNETIC FORM OF
HEAT).
