- 6d6b73 10y agoEarth also has axial precession, so "wobbliness" could be a factor on Earth.
- burkaman 10y agoSure, all the things you're suggesting "could" be factors. Are you saying you think climatologists have not thought of any of these ideas? Or they've investigated them and made some massive mistake? They're all lying?

- DennisP 10y agoIndeed it is. James Hansen discussed it at length in his book Storms of My Grandchildren. You may have heard that in the geological record, warming often begins before CO2 rises. The wobbling is the reason for that. It causes a little warming, the warming causes some CO2 to be released, the CO2 causes more warming, and then you've got a positive feedback cycle that warms up the planet by several degrees. That's why scientists are so worried that the CO2 we're emitting will cause a major problem.
- JshWright 10y agoIt absolutely is a factor on Earth. Right now the axial tilt of the Earth is decreasing, which should be resulting in a cooling effect.
