A Leap Minute is a minute that is added or removed according to what's needed to keep our clocks and calendars in synch with the movement of our planet and the sun.
The movement of the Earth around the Sun, and around its own axis, doesn't match up exactly to our clocks and calendars. To prevent the error from growing year after year, Leap days, leap hours, leap minutes, even leap seconds, are regularly added to keep everything in synch.

If two consecutive years are never exactly the same length do some times from one second to the other become a year together or not so fast?
A year normally has 365 days with the exception of a leap year that has 366 days. The only time two consecutive years are never exactly the same length is when a leap year occurs. Years are not joined so not even one second from one year becomes one with another year.I don't think that's what he meant.To keep atomic clocks right sometimes it is necessary to add a "leap second" to a minute, making that minute 61 seconds long.

How many seconds are in 34 years?
Just do the multiplications. 60 seconds per minute, times 60 minutes per hour, times 24 hours per day, times 365.25 days per year, times 34 years. If you need to be absolutely accurate, you need to specify the years, and whether or not they are leap years. For two of the four possible sequences of leap- and non leap years covering a stretch of 34 years, there are 9 leap years and 25 non leap years. For the other two possible sequences there are 8 leap years and 26 non leap years. You would still need to specify the exact years, because according to the full rules for assigning intercalary days to a year, now and then the usual leap year arrangement is interrupted.
