Yes Oriel, the Earth does rotate on its axis

We are not back to where we started, Earth's orbit is elliptical and its
perihelion precesses.
So at some point in its prehistory, perihelion and the equinox coincided
and then at a later (or earlier) time the longest/shortest day of the year
(depending on the hemisphere you choose to live in) coincided with
perihelion.
The question: what effect do these combined precessions have on climate?

Apparently this is one of the many elements of motion that go into
figuring the Milankovitch cycles:

It doesn't, I'm not concerned about Mercury's climate and the garbage
about GR is hearsay from a crackpot too stupid to to see all of the
GR calculation lies within the error bound of Le Verrier's calculation
based on Newtonian Mechanics.
43 arc seconds per century is 43 arc seconds in 415 orbits or
43: 415 * 360 degrees * 60 arc minutes * 60 arc seconds =
EXACTLY 1 part in 12,507,907 which the cretin Einstein with his
trusty slip stick, his booklet of 4 figure log tables and his wooden
telescope that he gazed at Mercury with for 100 years was
completely incapable of figuring, thus rendering anything in
wackypedia of any astronomical significance as hyperbole and lies.

The motive behind my question was to question the authenticity
AGW, as Quadiblockhead guessed.

No? Perhaps you have a short memory.
Edmund Burke remembers it very well and so do I.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing." -- Edmund Burke

As Quadiblockhead is one of the evil rumour-mongering purveyors of
AGW it is my duty as a good man to do something.
Hopefully my goodness has reached you and others like you and you
too will do something, or you'll lose all of your 401K and spill oil in a
different body of water the same way you used chemical warfare on
Vietnam with Agent Orange dioxins by doing nothing. The first thing
you should do is hack into the Pentagon's computers and find out
what the baby kissing *******s you voted for are planning next, or
at least support Julian Assange's Wikileaks and spit on wackypedia's
propaganda.

You people crack me up sometimes as you all go into assertion warfare
with each other without the slightest restraint and probably knowing
each other,chant voodoo at precession.I have news for you,the Earth's
polar coordinates turn 360 degrees in a circle to the central Sun each
orbital circuit which is why they have the polar day/night cycle and a
location that acts like a beacon for all other locations on
Earth .Precession of the Equinoxes is therefore an orbital trait and
not an axial one and unfortunately the standard is just not there to
recognize it.

Unlike contemporaries I love what my astronomical ancestors did when
they marked the solstices at the same orbital point as these 5000 year
old monuments still do today and mock people who now call themselves
astronomers but are not.With so much vandalism wrought by the late
17th century guys,at least unintentionally lunging at a conclusion
based on stellar circumpolar motion,you are unlikely to appreciate
that almost 20% into the precession of the equinoxes,the ancient
monuments still hold their alignments just as they always have -

Have a ball flailing around with assertions with no direction or
meaning,you could not keep the company of those astronomers in
antiquity,that is not an insult but an unfortunate fact - no shame,no
embarrassment,just another drone with no thought to an astronomical
history or heritage.
