Climate from an astronomer's perspective
Planetary climate is fixed by its dynamics and particularly its degree of axial orientation hence 'climate change' and those who presently promote it are out of their depth when it comes to first principles where planetary science in an astronomical context meets terrestrial experiences.
It is only possible to determine or define planetary climate in comparative terms which means using other planets as a gauge to determine what type of climate that the Earth possesses and particularly the spectrum bounded by zero degree and ninety degree inclination
The Earth with its 23 1/2 Degree inclination has a largely Equatorial climate with emphasis on the milder swings in hemispherical conditions across an orbital circuit in comparison to Uranus where hemispherical variations are more polar-like. Assigning an inclination like Uranus to the Earth would give genuine researchers an idea what role inclination plays in defining climate and prevents others from running away with themselves with secondary inputs.
Maybe it is the lack of clear thinking men rather than astronomers or rather the lack of those who have that background of inspiration who can counter the dull and the doom merchants.
