Is it possible that all the global warming theories based on observed land temperatures could be caused by orbital planet positions?
This idea/theory occurred to me because: 1. Satellite Data doesn't agree with Land Temperature Readings. 2. Most of these measurements are in the Northern Hemisphere 3. During this program, discussed was the fact that the planets can cause the sun to orbit itself typically 30 feet. This orbit is affected by the orbit of the large planets. 4. There are theories that the Sun's output/cycle is also affected by the planets
Using SimSolar (software download) to do a simulation, it appears that the areas of increase in temperature appear to match up where Jupiter and Saturn would be perturbing the Sun's Orbit closer to the Earth during the Winter Time. and for the Northern Hemisphere.
The data is often “corrected” by people with an agenda. Whether or not any conclusions can be drawn depends on the raw data set and what is known about the “corrections” that have been made. I have no background to comment knowledgably on whether planetary gravitational phenomena have any effect on solar activity. It certainly appears to be something worth looking into.
Imagine that - every thing depends on everything else. Who’da thunk it?
I want to thank you for your post. It was very thought provoking and brought up factors that I had never heard of previously. It was a reminder that the ecosystem is so complex that even if there were a true consensus that increasing levels of anthropogenic produced CO2 were causing irreversible harmful effects on the planet, other unconsidered phenomena could still be major players. I applaud you for looking outside of the normally considered realm in this case.
