It concerned the issue of The Damaged Global Climate System.
Inadvertently it also concerned The Damaged Mental Cognition of House of Representative Luddites.
But what amazed me was that both the scientist testifying for the White House and the House Luddite were off (the House Luddite was a galaxy off, the scientist was less off the mark - I think axial precession climate change should be a consideration in any really long-range climate models (e.g. 13,000 yrs.), but he thought such factors were de minimis).
The Luddite from Texas called the phenomenon of Axial Precession "Global Wobbling."
Since it is Friday, and since we do rebel science on Friday, I thought I would rebel against the Ignoratti in the House of Reprehensibles who prey for Amurka.
Thus, today I offer a reprint of A Savvy Ecocosmological Earth Calendar - 2 from the Ecocosmology Blog (that text is between the double horizontals below):
In this series so far we have looked at the extremely close similarity (in terms of the ~26,000 year cycle) of the Long Count Calendar and the Earth's axial precession (see A Savvy Ecocosmological Earth Calendar).
In today's post we look at the cycle of the axial precession in terms of current calendar months.
We offer a hypothesis that this is a built-in cosmic global climate system dynamic (a ~26,000 year cycle).
The graphic above shows one complete cycle of the Earth's axial precession, i.e.
At each 30 degrees on the graphic there is a date, beginning with 10,948 B.C. @ 0 [zero] degrees, then continuing to the present time (2012 A.D. @ 180 degrees), then proceeding on around to 14,972 A.D. @ 360 degrees.
Which comprises and completes one axial precession cycle of the Earth's axial tilt (which is one global climate system axial precession cycle).
Each degree,of the 360 degrees total,
represents 72 years so each 30 degrees represents 2,160 years, thus, an axial precession cycle takes about 26,000 years (25,920 yrs. to be more exact).The reason the 30 degree segments of 2,160 years is used is because we hypothesize that this is the amount of time it takes the climate to change in terms of a one-month morph of that month's seasonal characteristics (see Government Climate Change Report - 5 and Government Climate Change Report - 4).
The following list of months and their seasonal characteristics, in terms of being a Winter, Spring, Summer, or Autumn month, is shown for each date marked at every 30 degrees on the graphic at the top of this post:
10,948 B.C. (0 degrees)The gist of this is that about each 13,000 years (each 12,960 yrs. --at the time they developed it, to be more exact), the months of Winter in Washington, D.C. in the U.S.A. now (December, January, February) become the months of Summer (June, July, August) in terms of their seasonal type-of-weather orientation.

This happens because the axial precession reaches the maximum 180 degree

It is not that the months change, no, they still have their 30, 31, 28/29. number of days per month, are still spelled the same, and January is still the first month while December is still the 12th month (etc.).
It is just that the axial tilt of the Earth toward or away from the Sun impacts upon the global climate system (in terms of which hemisphere is impacted with more solar energy), and this is an easy way to symbolically represent that change in the global climate system, in terms of the impact on weather at that geographical location.
The quantity of the impact on weather in the northern hemisphere (temperature change, rainfall, ice melt, sea-level, etc.), as well as on the global climate system itself, will be considered in later posts in this series.
The previous post in this series is here.
The following video shows an axial procession cycle:

The climate denier congressman (Steve Stockman - (R - Bullshitistan)) in the youtube clip in the post, was called out for his intellectual dishonesty by the scientist he misquoted: link
ReplyDeleteVery interesting analysis, Dredd. I was wondering how the 0 (zero) degree point in 10,948 B.C. is defined? What makes that point the 0 degrees point and not any other?
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you are familiar with his thesis, but it would be interesting to know whether Johan Oldenkamp's 'Clock of Giza' (at pateo dot nl) lines up with the 0 point - he makes a case for the Pyramids of Giza indicating a line through to 2012.
According to astronomer Nick Anthony Fiorennza Earth's polar axis begins to lean away from the galactic plane of light about 12,000 years ago. From 1998 onward Earth's polar axis begins to lean towards the galactic plane of light. This means that one half cycle is brighter and warmer than than other.
As a layman I was wondering if this line could be used to define when the seasons make a turnaround and start to reverse slowly as indicated in your article and diagrams. So, to summarize - what could be a good method or way to slice the two halves of the precessional cycle into two and distinguish between them? (seasonally or otherwise). Any pointers would be appreciated.
J.J. at Energy Shifts,
ReplyDeleteWhere we are in terms of the Earth's "Axial Precession" is a fascinating subject to ponder.
In terms of its potential positive impact on the Antarctica, Greenland, Glacier Bay Alaska, Third Pole (Himalayas), etc., ice sheet melt currently in progress, I would venture to say we are out of luck.
The short time frame before civilization-impacting events from anrhropogenic induced ocean level changes (e.g. Seaport impacts) is minuscule compared to the thousand-year segments on each side of maxima and minima of the Axial Precession timeline.
I would offer the "SEA LEVEL CHANGE" series page area here for your perusal.
Congratulations on your very interesting blog Energy Shifts.
