For me, it boils down to this: 1.5 centimeters a year equals 9,300 miles in a billion years. So earth will most likely still be vaporized in the end.
We have got to stop human-caused Climate Chaos now! This is not a game!
I think you have it backwards. The Earth is moving further away every year. We will soon be a rogue, free-floating, frozen planet.
A good earth day project — everyone on the night side push down on the ground. That should make things right.
I thought it was getting a little more chillier than usual............
The worst "teaching" tool ever is called the orrery(sp)...ya know the planet thing that shows the planets travelling around the Sun in circular orbits? The only circular orbits are artificial orbits by controlled satellites. All natural orbits are ellipses, meaning all planets get closer and farther from the Sun...apogee and perigee don'tcha know?
So what? There’s not a damned thing we could do about it.
WERE ALL GONNA DIE!
Brrrrr!
Well I may continue to treat it as such just to PO ‘sandy o’casio’ (D-lusional NY).
Raise taxes now!!
“Drift Away”
Dobie Gray
Day after day I’m more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that’s a game that I hate to lose
And I’m feelin’ the strain
Ain’t it a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think that I’m wastin’ time
I don’t understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I’m countin’ on you
To carry me through
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Yeah, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I’m feelin’ blue
The guitar’s comin’ through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you’ve given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You’ve helped me along
Makin’ me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Na na na, won’t you, won’t you take me
Oh, take me
No news cycle is complete without a second grade level ‘scientific’ talking down to.
big oil is doing more damage than i ever realized
Actually, I think what will happen is will continue moving further away... but before we have complete freedom, the Sun will go nova, and the explosion will expand to us and beyond us, vaporizing us.
And, while on the topic of ellipsis, perihelion and so on, the earth’s orbit varies from elliptical to near-circular, in a 100,000 year cycle driving our ice ages and warm periods. See Milankovitch for more info.
I wish the cognoscenti would make up their minds so I can make the appropriate plans for the future.
This year, 2019, our perihelion was 1.5 centimeters farther away than it was last year
If they can get us to believe they can measure it that precisely, they can get us to believe anything they tell us.
Only if the speed at which we are fleeing the sun gets out far enough out when the sun expands out to Mars, in another 5 billion years. I think the poster you responded to did the math and concluded we will not.
Trump’s fault, of course.
