THE deeper understanding of this article in the NY Slimes (and yes, one must ALWAYS try to find the deeper meaning between the lines in the Slimes) is an attack on objective truth.

Always trying to blur the lines, they are, in oh so deceptive ways.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I don't know I'd agree completely with that ...

But what is NOT said, is that, IF Polaris is changing in magnitude (heat) THAT much, (for unknown reasons!) then WHY can we not be surprised that the sun is changing very slightly (less than .05% in brightness) = enough to explain the recent changes in global temperature.

Why?

Because the liberals DEMAND a "global warming answer" that requires that America be blamed, and that America's (capitalistic) economy be struck dead.

"an attack on objective truth."

Shakespeare's point is that the North Star doesn't spin like the other stars or move like the planets. That is still true even if it is changing in intensity. We can always look to the fixed star to find our direction, exactly like we can look to eternal truths in the Word of God for direction in life.

[Calvin Locke]

...is an attack on objective truth.

What about the title? The "North Star" ain't always gonna be Polaris. The cycle for one "rotation" of stars is about
25,000 years, and the star nearest the Earth's polar line changes about every 5000 years. I think the next star will
be Thuban in about 2500 years.

So, the Slimes can't even pick an appropriate analogy with "Constant of the North Star".
