Well, it turned out that, when the planet moves around the sun, their apparent motion as seen from Earth still closely matches the prediction of the latest geocentric models.

You're wrong now, and even in the unlikely case of a Copernican climate science revolution, you will remain wrong. Nature has this nasty habit of being consistent.
