The original assertion of Copernicus linking cause and effect between axial inclination and the seasons is somewhat below what is accurate for 21st century purposes -



Climate Science, the physics thereof is well understood.

Climate science hasn't even begun let alone understood.The most immediate experience of temperature fluctuations is the day/night cycle and you can't even get that one right for goodness sake insofar as assigning 4 phantom rotations to the Earth each 4 years you lose the link between daily rotation once each 24 hours.

The next experience of temperature fluctuations is,of course,the annual cycle requiring simple acknowledgement that the Earth has two surface rotations to the central Sun,do you hear that Wormley - two surface rotations to the central Sun.The daily rotational cycle obscures the orbital component apart from the polar coordinate which act as a beacon or window into the orbital behavior.

The orbital cycle prevents researchers from using a 'tilting' motion to the central Sun as the cause of the seasons thereby freeing up inclination as a means to determine planetary climate within a equatorial/polar spectrum.

You want people to be scared but the truth is that were the wider population and especially students to have a proper astronomical education,appreciation for the terrestrial habitat would come as a matter of course.Instead you have these utterly stupid notions of human control of the complex climate system while having little understanding as to what go into basic climate principles.

Anyone care to appreciate why the great storm on Jupiter has lasted for so long - try the 3 degree axial inclination which assigns an equatorial climate to that planet.There are tropical storms seasons in different hemispheres on the surface at given orbital points due to the fact that the Earth has a more pronounced polar input whereas Uranus has huge storms on its surface as one hemisphere emerges from a prolonged period of orbital darkness -

These modelers who managed to rig the idea that long term weather turns into global climate are merely overgrown schoolkids out of their depth for all their outward show,you have just had rough outline of planetary climate determined for you by astronomical means and I suggest people adopt it quickly and work to expand it into something enjoyable.




Authority by 'fire and brimstone' never worked apart from being a sort of tyranny and that is what your empirical cult has done,only inspiration and genuine promotion of astronomy can stabilize this awful mess created by the absence of astronomers.
