Jupiter and Venus Change Earth’s Orbit Every 405,000 Years

Over the course of the past 200 million years, our planet has experienced four major geological periods (the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous and Cenozoic) and one major ice age (the Pliocene-Quaternary glaciation), all of which had a drastic impact on plant and animal life, as well as effecting the course of species evolution.

For decades, geologists have also understood that these changes are due in part to gradual shifts in the Earth’s orbit, which are caused by Venus and Jupiter, and repeat regularly every 405,000 years. But it was not until recently that a team of geologists and Earth scientists unearthed the first evidence of these changes – sediments and rock core samples that provide a geological record of how and when these changes took place.

...

Earth experiences periodic changes in its climate (which are related to changes in its orbit) has been understood for almost a century. These changes consist of Milankovitch Cycles, which consist of a 100,000-year cycle in the eccentricity of Earth’s orbit, a 41,000-year cycle in the tilt of Earth’s axis relative to its orbital plane, and a 21,000-year cycle caused by changes in the planet’s axis.

Combined with the 405,000-year swing, which is the result of Venus and Jupiter’s gravitational influence, these shifts cause changes in how much solar energy reaches parts of our planet, which in turn influences Earth’s climate.

One more thing to worry about.

[samadams2000]

My work confirms this.

[delapaz]

so Velikovsky was right

[Fungi]

Really? Specifics please. Pure assumptions based on more assumptions and the other assumptions. I won’t bother saying “nonsense.”

[fieldmarshaldj]

*ping*

[eyeamok]

Heresy!! We need Congressional hearings

[MUDDOG]

the 405,000-year swing ... influences Earth’s climate

And there's not a thing we can do about it.

[no-s]

Ha! Perturbed by Venus after all!

[adorno]

So, every 405,000 years, we get global warming? Or is it global cooling? Gonna have to consult with Al Gore about which one it is.

[null and void]

these shifts cause changes in how much solar energy reaches parts of our planet, which in turn influences Earth’s climate.

Does that cause the eeeeevil See Oh Too to spike?

[airborne]

Somehow this will be blamed on global warming.

[Cold Heart]

Earth changes Jupiter and Venus’s orbit every 405,000 years.

[SERKIT]

We need to create a tax in order to force these two planets to comply with our “climate change” statutes.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

No problem. Just tax carbon dioxide, and it’s all good!

</sarcasm>

[TigersEye]

Sounds like some #RealScience for a change.

[C210N]

This is good stuff - facts and real science. Yes, climate change happens. This thread needs the opposite of the goebbles icon.

[CJ Wolf]

Lincoln would not be my first choice of opposite of goebbels

Just going on the “honest abe” meme.... whom do you suggest, may i ask, for future reference.
