Saying 4% may not seem significant but saying it's 3 million miles is. How many degrees in the rise of the temperature could significantly alter the world's climate? Only a few.
Dave, your fallacious logic is old and worn out. 4% is VERY small. It is NOT the reason that seasons exist and the global model does not suggest that it does. You are beating another of your MANY straw-men.
The flat earth movement is here to question and challenge the heliocentric model. If we just accept what ever explanations we're given from the heliocentric perspective then we would all be atheists by now.
More false accusations. old and worn out.
That the axis of a spinning earth tilts away from it's flat orbit instead of perpendicular and moves in an elliptical orbit instead a of circular one defies reason. The globe earth has been tilted in order to keep the north star over the north pole with the other stars circling it as we have always observe it all year long.
Dave, that is just more NONSENSE that you've apparently swallowed hook, line and sinker.
There is nothing the slightest bit unreasonable about an elliptical orbit nor a tilted axis. You just say that AS IF your have some special knowledge.... You don't.
Are you ONCE AGAIN trying to force the global model to be a evolutionary idea? Probably. It's not. It's simply based on repeatable and independently verifiable observations, quite unlike your "flat earth" model which makes SO MANY claims that cannot be verified (the "sun lens" that "invalidates" stick and shadow calculation of the diameter of the earth).
Why is the orbit of the earth elliptical?
"The Earth does not travel around the Sun in a circle, but in an ellipse. If the Earth were to orbit the Sun in a circle, with the Sun as its center, the Earth's speed around the Sun would be constant."
But if the speed of the earth slows down what speeds it back up so that it does not get pulled closer and closer to the sun by gravity until we're all dead?

More completely insanity on your part Dave. You do not even understand the simplest science, like the conservation of energy. Nor do you understand gravity.
Once again, how can you who knows practically nothing, "debate" these models? You can't. You are so completely dumb on these subjects that it makes it impossible for you to actually participate.
You have no shame, so I'll be ashamed of you for you.
