GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE
Following is an explanation of cause for 'Global Warming' (to whatever extent it exists). This explanation will not shut down assholes and idiots (like former U.S. VP Al Gore, who blame human use of petroleum products). This explanation is most likely beyond the ability of assholes and idiots to comprehend. Our planet Earth has two physical motions that drive our calendar to account for years, months, and days, and changing climate conditions of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter: 1. Duration of one counter-clockwise spin of Earth on its axis gives us one day with a Sunrise in the East and a Sunset in the West. 2. Duration of one elliptical orbit of Earth around the Sun, its spin axis tilted at 23.5 degrees away from the Sun, gives us one year and changes of weather during each of the four seasons. Question: Why, in its elliptical orbit around the Sun, when Earth is 3 million miles closer to the Sun, is it Winter (colder) in the Northern Hemispere, while it is Summer (warmer) in the Southern Hemisphere? Answer: Due to Earth's spin axis constant tilt at 23.5 degrees away from the Sun, the angle of incidence of parallel radiation of light and heat from the Sun is less direct in the winter against the Northern Hemisphere, while that radiation is more direct against the Southern Hemisphere. A third motion of Earth gets little or no attention for its effects on global warming and global cooling (recurrent ice ages). Spinning like a top, tilted at a constant 23.5 degrees away from its elliptical orbit around the sun, the Earth has a wobble of its spin axis - that wobble is like decay of the spin axis of the spinning top. One Earth wobble is measured to require 26,000 years to complete its duration. Inclination of Earth's spin axis to its orbital plane varies over 40.000 years by about 1 degree. We are now living in a warm period which began 20,000 years ago. That's many thousands of years before evidence of the existence of the human species and before evidence of the existence of languages so perfectly structured for communication. Questions: Is this precision of Earth's movements, giving us changing weather and climate, an accident? (like 'evolution') Or Is this precision of Earth's movements the product of the will of a Supreme Intellect, better known as God? (like 'intelligent design') For more info, see Strobel's Astronomy Notes. Scroll halfway down until you see a graphic of planet Earth's 'precession' (wobble on its axis).
