Are they still telling us that CO2 is causing the climate to change?

Yeah but it’s clearly the actions of mankind and our destructive presence on the pristine and otherwise perfect planet that have caused this wobbly orbit. Clearly.

Global warming is Earth’s fault.

Clearly it’s all the obese people on the Earth slowing down the rotation. We need to tax Oreo cookies and French Fries to make people skinny again so the Earth can rotate at the proper speed.

We’ve got 3 presidential candidates who will change all of this. They told us so.

"When the Earth's orbit is more elliptical, the planet spends more time farther away from the sun, and the Earth gets less sunlight over the course of the year. These periods of more-elliptical orbits are separated by about 100,000 years. Ice ages occur about every 100,000 years, and they line up exactly with this change in the Earth's [orbit's--ed.]
elliptical shape." It would be nice if they had reported what point of that oscillatory cycle we are presently on.

Before internal combustion engines, the Earth’s orbit around the sun was a perfect circle. Just ask Al.

“It would be nice if they had reported what point of that oscillatory cycle we are presently on.”
The last ice age was at its coldest about 12000 years ago. Therefore we’d be about 88,000 years until the next truely major ice age. The next hottest part of the cycle would be in about 38,000 years.
As we are coming off an ice age in the upswing toward the hottest part of the cycle we are experiencing long term global warming, but spread out over 38,000 years this is not detectable year to year. Some years, even decades, are likely be colder than previous as it is not a smooth neat clean cycle.

I thought that the years seemed to be getting shorter.
