Default What causes the seasons ?

Followed a month later -

To answer the cause of the seasons requires two additional questions -
what causes the daylight/darkness cycle each 24 hours ? and the second
question - what causes the polar daylight/darkness cycle lasting 12 months
and arising from a separate dynamical cause ?.

Of course this requires experts.


I would reply but it's not clear what point you are making. The poor
prediction of the experts mentioned in the Guardian, perhaps?
