Spain and Portugal are at their driest for 1,200 years

It takes two surface rotations acting in combination to explain long term cyclical weather, otherwise known as the seasons. Sometimes it takes people with common sense to recognise that visual evidence takes priority over any other consideration and especially as they surface rotations can be seen through time lapse of another planet-

Beyond all the facile academic politics and all the political hype are those two surface rotations to our parent star which make a mockery of the concerns of our era and the awful conclusions which are promoted as factual certainties.

Congratulations in advance to those who can work things out for themselves and find climate research for the first time.

It is information sharing so no need to make a point as the imaging speaks alone whether I demonstrate the dynamics behind the seasons and climate or not. Some foolish people may assume I am making a desperate appeal, however, that belongs to the climate change modelling community and their many cheerleaders so that leaves people with a higher standard of consideration in all matters where climate and weather intersect.

So, 50 seconds in as the time lapse covers a few years very quickly, the two surface rotations become easily identifiable and this perspective in absolutely necessary in putting climate research on a proper foundation-

I am obligated to keep this approach front and centre even when others are speaking of acceptance/denial that humans can control the weather. It is not for cheerleaders of academics but for those who have a more expansive view of a planet that moves in two separate ways to the Sun.

It is sometimes dismaying to see people diminish themselves in these matters for there is nothing at all difficult in extracting the anti-social behaviour from genuine climate research and acting as adults for the sake of students if not for themselves. If people are so attached to their diplomas and doctorates that they can't reason properly, they should stay clear of planetary climate which involves planetary dynamics as a basic skeletal structure and concentrate on short term weather predictions which do not have to appeal to cyclical weather.

Cyclical weather, better known as the seasons, has an underlying dynamical cause, whereas climate is dependent on the degree of inclination to the orbital plane which controls the range and speed of changes across latitudes as the Earth orbits the Sun while turning daily. The closer to the orbital plane, the greater the range and speed of those changes. If the Earth had an inclination similar to Uranus then life on the surface would be impossible, so even if these observers are searching for exoplanets with the same chemical composition as the Earth, size and distance from their Sun, habitation is not guaranteed.

The circumference where the Sun remains in view with the North pole at its centre is currently contracting and will contract until September 21st when that circumference disappears altogether and replaced with an expanding circumference where the Sun remains out of sight until its maximum Arctic circle circumference on the December Solstice.

It involves plenty of modelling, however, it also involves two surface rotations acting in combination and that is where it all begins.

Please make what stop?.

The expanding and contracting circles with the North pole at its centre where the Sun remains constantly in view or out of sight is responsible for the Arctic sea ice development which follows that expansion/contraction. The North pole is currently turning towards the dark hemisphere of the Earth, so the circumference where the Sun remains in view is shrinking as the radius between the North pole and the dark hemisphere decreases.

Weather is cyclical before it is anything else whether the day/night cycle or the seasonal cycle. After this, climate is the rate and range of change across latitudes so it is far more complicated than a blanket definition that climate is long term weather because it suits climate change modelling.

With all your pleading, I suggest you don't read anything I write as this is not for everyone. Just concern yourself with short term weather events which I enjoy too.

The reasons behind cyclical weather, like the seasons, is based on two surface rotations acting in combination and is no more a hypothesis than the heart pumping blood around the body is a hypothesis for we can visually affirm both.

I can even push the boat out from here and suggest that the ENSO, organised around the planet's rotational equator, equalises the variations of the atmosphere, oceans and landmass and influence weather based on this approach-

The components which go into the Earth sciences of biology, climate and geology are just as complex and intricate as the components which come together to make up the human body. The crude and anti-social behaviour which attempts to make climate an extension of weather is also present in the view of the planet and what makes life possible on the surface.

" Are there changes underway with the two surface rotations acting in combination that are causing changes in the climate?"

Explaining the seasons properly for the first time is no small matter as planetary climate is the next topic based on inclination to the orbital plane so the former is necessary to explain the latter.

The North pole, with its zero daily rotation velocity, keeps the same orientation in space at all times during an orbit of the Sun so that point in space occupied by the star Polaris or the North star mirrors what happens on the surface of the planet (ignore the circumpolar motion of the other stars)-

In this case, modelling is brilliant for the purpose of interpretation and the conclusion that when daily rotation is extracted, the entire surface of the Earth turns once to the Sun over the course of a year as a function of the orbital motion of the Earth.

The body of a person represents the Earth while walking around a central object imitates the planet's orbit of the Sun with the floor representing the orbital plane. The nose of a person roughly represents the North pole so as they walk/orbit a central object/Sun, they discover that in order to keep their nose/North pole pointing constantly in the same direction as the walk/orbit, at one time or another, different parts of their body/Earth face the Sun/central object as they complete a circuit. This represents the second surface rotation aside from daily rotation.

The time lapse of Uranus shown previously shows the same behaviour for although the North/South poles of Uranus remain constantly pointing in the same direction, it means the entire planet has to turn parallel to the planet's orbital plane.

Many of the technical details were covered in another thread*, however, it is now much easier to arrive at genuine climate research by considering weather as cyclical before anything else. If a reader doesn't accept the causes of cyclical weather like the day/night cycle or seasonal cycle then climate as a topic will always be beyond reach.

The experiment of using the human body while walking around an object to imitate the orbital feature of a single surface rotation each circuit and aside from daily rotation is new to observers so they no longer need to inspect why previous researchers like Copernicus dropped the issue in favour of a less productive approach. As far as it goes, it is a matter of two different frameworks where the framework of Ptolemy, the one Copernicus was forced to filter his insights through, is deficient for explaining both Precession of the Equinoxes and more importantly, the direct/retrogrades of the faster moving Venus and Mercury.

I enjoy short term weather predictions like everyone else so stick to what you know. When it comes to putting climate research in order, cyclical weather and planetary dynamics takes centre stage and it takes effort to get to that point.

If you are disturbed on account that climate research emerges out of cyclical weather and the underlying causes based on a moving Earth in a Sun-centred system, then don't read nor interpret what is in front of you. Just go your way and dwell on short term weather modelling and upcoming weather events.

Weather, in its cyclical format, is not open-ended like the modelling community try to do so breaking the bad habit of extending weather into climate without planetary dynamics takes quite an effort, even without pleading from people like yourself. The information sharing, which connects planetary dynamics to planetary climate, would only appeal to a small audience who do not want to be trapped in the squabble between climate change hysterics or denialists, at least as they describe each other.

So, there are people who want to consider climate without first considering cyclical weather such as the seasons and this is an impossibility as the benchmark for planetary climate is predictability first and foremost. A GP does not wish to overreach and be a surgeon and that is the difference between short term weather modelling and proper climate research for although the former is necessary and just as important, the latter requires a great deal of specialist knowledge and care.

The imaging is the only attention seeking so I don't fault those who cannot interpret what is in front of them in terms of cyclical weather and the dynamics behind seasonal weather events, everything from large scale events like the Atlantic hurricane season or Arctic sea ice evolution down to why it will be colder in 6 months at your location.

Pleading that a weather forum doesn't include cyclical weather and the underlying dynamics is also the reason why the awful modelling indulgence called climate change modelling exists. There is nobody to rein in the meteorologists who have given themselves unwarranted stature as planetary climate is impossible without planetary dynamics.

The dreary attempt to draw me into reactions distracts from the principles which go into looking at climate as a component of the Earth just as different organs make up the human body and especially the relationship of the planet to its Sun-centred surroundings just as the body reacts to its terrestrial surroundings.

The lack of self-awareness is a productive thing as information sharing using visible affirmations is front and centre. I suggest people try it for a change.

It is clear that the believer/sceptic, hysteric/denier or whatever else they call their opponent are comfortable in each other's company for how else to explain the return of the same individuals who were trying to outdo each other in terms of dire predictions in another previous thread. It is all based on making weather open-ended while ignoring planetary dynamics and that weather is cyclical before planetary climate can even be considered.

The misadventure with timekeeping contained in the NASA website as an insistence that the planet doesn't turn once every sunrise/noon/sunset cycle and the reasoning employed is just as contrived as the crude thinking that humanity can control the weather otherwise known as climate change modelling.

The new insight that the planet turns in two separate ways to the Sun is directed in opposite directions. It explains seasonal variations in weather as geographical climate, whereas compared to other planets in the solar system, this represents planetary climate proper with a spectrum attached.

The three big Earth sciences of biology, geology and climate are interconnected so that any genuine researcher can try to put together a narrative by using as much observations as possible to arrive at conclusions or, at the very least, be put on the road to genuine riches.

Evolutionary sciences began with the fossil record written in rock strata with a slowly emerging picture of the history of life on Earth through faunal succession, an avenue of research that was in existence long before the races/racism doctrine of natural selection-

Natural selection sabotaged genuine biological and geological research by insisting that skull shape, cultural differences and superficial distinctions like that were a basis to divide the human race biologically into sub-races or less favoured 'races'.

" In the brain of the lowest savages, and, as far as we yet know, of the pre-historic races, we have an organ so little inferior in size and complexity to that of the highest types (such as the average European), that we must believe it capable, under a similar process of gradual development during the space of two or three thousand years, of producing equal average results. But the mental requirements of the lowest savages, such as the Australians or the Andaman islanders, are very little above those of many animals. The higher moral faculties and those of pure intellect and refined emotion are useless to them, are rarely if ever manifested, and have no relation to their wants, desires, or well-being. How, then, was an organ developed so far beyond the needs of its possessor? Natural selection could only have endowed the savage with a brain a little superior to that of an ape, whereas he actually possesses one but very little inferior to that of the average members of our learned societies" Wallace

Climate research is involved in that emerging narrative as atmospheric events shaped the presence of biology and remade geological formations through ice ages and so on. Climate change modelling did to the Earth science of climate what natural selection did to the Earth sciences of biology and geology.

[As an aside, no human is less than vermin, they may be misguided or facile in their considerations but that is it.]

In a way I am delighted that this person has me set to ignore.

The cause of the seasons are not 'solar forcings', they are a result of two surface rotations acting in combination with special attention given to the relationship between the North/South poles and the expanding/contracting circles as those poles turn parallel to the orbital plane as a function of the orbital motion of the Earth.

Climate change modellers, including their cheerleaders, abhor planetary dynamics even though a moving Earth in a Sun-centred system is central to planetary climate.
