I know the history. The original word for ‘planet’ is a star that wanders, and does not include the Earth. But we also thought that the Earth was the center of the universe as well. But we’ve advanced somewhat since then, and so has the term for a planet. I don’t want to go back a thousand years.

Planet used to include The Moon and The Sun.

Time to saw off and create a new term to cover whatever it is that the govt funded navel gazers are using to get grants to fund their programs.

I’m suRprised that this issue Is not heavily linked to CAGW....
