Well, our planet also has axial precession, so the same effect could be causing the warming on our planet right?

- drabiega 10y agoNope, that effect is currently making Earth colder, but is being overwhelmed by greenhouse effects resulting in net higher temperatures.
- JshWright 10y agoYes, it absolutely does cause warming at times. In fact, prior to human effects, it was the driving cause of climate variation. These periodic variations driven by orbital changes are called Milankovitch cycles[1]. Unfortunately for your theory, Earth's axial tilt is decreasing at the moment, and therefore we should be in the 'cooling' phase of the cycle.
