Wondering if the “wobble” as it has been noted in reads of my past has anything to do with “Climate Change”?

How many years does it take for the Earth to “Wobble” from one extreme to the other as it rotates on axis?

My curiosity due my recollection of the time (standard time) in my youth of the 1940’s, 1950’s when it would become too dark to play “ditch ‘em”, and other outdoors games. Seems to me at 4:30 PM PST we called it quits and went indoors for the night. These days remain light about an hour longer than those days PST.

It would seem to me that if the Earth “Wobbles” as it “rotates” on its axis that the Sun would be more intense in different locations on the surface of the Earth than it was before at those locations causing my weather to go someplace else, and someplace else’s weather to become my weather.

The natural tilting of the Earth could cause the Arctic to be more exposed to the Sun.

Just a thought.

Wondering if anybody can comment on the thought.

I don't know but I do have some concern over things like light noise over a large city like Houston. We are still experiencing massive power outages.

But I'd already observed how many birds were wide awake and chirping all night in large grocer parking lots (where the stores now closed by midnight, formerly 24 hour operation) but remained brightly lit all night. It was throwing off the birds’ own internal clocks.

I also have witnessed all sorts of stray water fowl (2+ foot tall cranes, etc.) walking around after 10pm at night by themselves nowhere near bodies of water.

At least with our city going dark for a week that activity has fallen off. Then again all of the birds have been spooked by losing their nests in the 100 mile an hour gusts of a hurricane.
