If i understood this correctly, precession changes the time of the seasons over long periods of time, and obliquity changes the strength of the seasons over long periods of time. So in a several thousand years, if we still use the same calendar system, summer and winter will happen in different months and they will be more mild or more harsh.

Yes, this is the way I understood it. Based on the instruction in the video, there must have been thousands of ice ages over the 4,500 million years life of the planet, meaning sea levels rising and fall. So, if this is correct, the last time the Sea was much higher, none of the coastal cities existed at all. The climate change alarmists are simply trying to cash in with spreading fear about an event which will happen again, regardless of human behavior. So, when an elected member of the US House of Representatives uses her Twitter following to make a highly irresponsible statement such as "We only have 12 years left... Unless we spend trillions now" why is no one holding her accountable for these false claims ? So, perhaps we should ask this Congresswoman, Al Gore, and the girl from Sweden, Who do we write the check to ? Mother Nature ?? Father Time ?? LMAO... The Earth is going to do what the Earth does, regardless. Perhaps the human race is here on borrowed time ? After all, we are talking tens of thousands of years for these cycles to come full circle. Just my two cents. Thanks.

@@custosnocte1528 Not entirely true. Yes, thousands of ice ages have happened before and many warmer period on earth have occured. However, the difference now is the speed at which the temperature on earth is rising, leaving ecosystems and humans that built their society on those ecosystems unable to adapt quickly enough, causing all sorts of trouble. Mother nature won't care much, but as humans we're just getting ourselves in a world of trouble, which is something we can still contain if we act now.

Todays Climate change is solely due too increased CO2 consentrations and other greenhouse gasses. The Cycles alone won't usher inn a new periode of extreme heating, but they can be the last drop of water that makes the cup overflow. This is what the IPCC concluded with in 2013 and again in the Paris agreement of 2015.

Concern re climate change is specifically focused on the best 270 years (since the industrial revolution in 1850). Milankovitch cycles occur at a minimum of around 20,000 years, i.e. a more longer timescale. The perturbation on the climate system due to Milankovitch forcing over the period of concern re climate change is going to be very small. Basically Milankovitch forcing is irrelevant to the current climate change observed; the latter is happening way too quickly to be attributable to the former.

@Neueregel: astrology does consider the precession of the equinoxes. The problem is that modern people think that astrology is some kind of fortune-telling. Actually, it has more in common with modern psychology and sociology. Do they "work", or are they just "nonsensical social constructs"? Btw. the Great Year is ~25920 years. It's not an "exact" number as the angle tilts between ~22-24°, but it's used in most calculations.

The Milankovitch theory is a complicated way of explaining a cycle of about 25,000 years. But ancient books as the Indian Mahabharata and the Mayan Popol Vuh, tell us that the Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven natural disasters. The only possible natural cause of this cycle can be a ninth planet in our solar system, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Those disasters are causing massive floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and a bombardment of fiery meteors every few thousand years. Several animal species become extinct and mankind hardly survives. If you don't know this cycle, history is incomprehensible. To learn much more about the cycle of recurring floods, the recreation of civilizations and its timeline, and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". You can read it on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search for: invisible nibiru 9

Approximately 23.4° tilt relative to the Earth's vertical orbital plane around the Sun. I believe he said we are heading toward 24.5 and then back down toward 22.1 ? That is a really good question though. I am sure NASA has that all mapped out as to what part of the Milkyway the Solar System is in, which would give a good indication as to where the Earth's axis is currently pointing to. Perhaps that is one way of finding out what part of the cycle Earth is in, and what direction the cycle is headed ? Very interesting subject to say the least.

So when the earths inclination is 27 degrees Arctic tilted towards the sun all of the frozen CO2 trapped will thaw raising the level of co2 due to the earth's 26,000 year cycle of the earths axis being tilted either north or south pole towards the sun. This would also cause the earths 26,000 glacial tropical climate cycles. Or global tidal waves washing over the continents when the tilt of hte earth is at 0 degrees.

@grindupBaker 2 күн бұрын
Except video clearly shows that tilt varies 22.1 to 24.5 degrees, no "27 degrees Arctic tilted". The 2 unsuccessful attempts to leave the last "ice age" are clearly seen in the Greenland ice cores. Ice sheets started receding north as these cycles slowly changed the summer sunshine at 65N, but it wasn't enough so they spread south again. That happened twice and then the 3rd time the orbit, tilt & precession gave enough summer sunshine at 65N to melt the giant Laurentide, Cordilleran & Scandinavian ice sheets all the way back to just mountain glaciers and the Holocene warm period began. "global tidal waves" is senseless drivel based on nothing.

Naturally, without humans, would have been the next full glacial maximum with ice sheets a mile thick pover Canada & Scandinavia, sea ice down to Spain, in 30,000 years from now, the ice just steadily increasing to that I described over 30,000 years but more slowly at first thean faster, Humans have ended all that completely. A CO2 increase from 289 ppmv to 423 ppmv totally wipes out all those slow, weak cooling & warming effects. At CO2 = 423 ppmv Earth is moving to 3.5 million years ago, a million years before the glacial cycles started. The glacial cycles are now Ancient History that will never repeat as long as humans exist (or an evolved similar species).

That would approximate the difference in your distance from the sun between noon and sunset/sunrise, which is the MOST the earth's axis could change that distance (reality=nowhere near that). Now divide that by 93 million miles. What you get (4,000 / 93,000,000 = 0.00004301) is a 0.004 percent difference (approx.). If the distance of half the earth's diameter makes that little change in the distance from the sun, the much smaller change due to precession, or even the slightly greater wobble of obliquity, is nothing.

The milankovitch cycles have actually been trending towards another ice age (glacial period) since about 8 000 years ago.

These short-term fluctuations are unrelated to the milankovitch cycles which happen very slowly.

Changing CO2 levels as a result of these cycles also add as a feedback system, exacerbating the effect on earth's temps that the cycles cause.
