yes plastic in oceans is bad for wildlife, i do wish more attention would go to that rather than climate change

rainforest in turn is important also lots of animals who live there

or in africa, some should stop the fishing in masses, otherwise pinguin population there runs out of food

The Earth's rotation is slowing because of the moon but it's at a rate of fractions of a second per year... there's no indication that the Earth's orbit of the sun is widening, unless you're talking about a span of literally BILLIONS of years.

This is nearly as bizarre as flat earth stuff, honestly.

Nicky being a climate change denier because his mum told him it was hot once in the '70s is so on-brand

That's your age. Time appears to speed up as you get older as a year becomes a smaller fraction of your whole life.

It's weird how summer seems to have been slightly later for the past few years, while "winter weather" is more common in January-March than around November-February...

Makes sense to me and it explains the top and bottom getting warmer..as it speeds up.

Well said TS.
The post you replied to is literally denying physics as we know it.

With time the angular momentum dissipates and things slow down and get farther away on an enormous time scale.
It's the case with the earth and moon system and earth and sun.
The solar year and the lunar month are getting longer by a tiny fraction of a second with each cycle.

So believing the earth's orbit is speeding up equals tin foiled head brigade.......but believing it is slowing down...all normal.....I don't think so.:nono

Ps, we are getting closer to the sun it's sucking us in..so the closer you get the quicker you get round.

:
Parmy do you actually believe this or are you trolling? It's not about beliefs, it's mathematical and scientific fact . Gravity is based on mass, the sun is constantly burning hydrogen and thus, losing mass. This causes the sun itself to physically expand whilst becoming less dense, which means its gravitational pull lessens and satellites (planets) move AWAY from the centre of the solar system, increasing orbit time.

Again, though, we're talking about an increase of SECONDS over thousands of years, BILLIONS of years for a noticable difference.

This isn't guesswork Parmy, we know the distance to the sun, we would know if it changed .

First the tsunami. Then the Bush fires in Australia.

Next it will terrential rain, thunder and tornadoes. Especially in the UK.

(I know we get tornadoes in the states but it will occurring more so over here)

THANKFULLY (as I hate tornadoes ... I used to have recurring nightmares) we can't get the huge ones they get in the central states because we don't have the big, flat, open spaces where they form.

Soooo

A science boff said the other day ( on Sky News ) that one surprising thing about all this is that the Sun’s temperature has been gradually reducing for sometime , year upon year .

So what’s that all about ??

The sun is literally a burning ball of hydrogen, as it burns it uses up the hydrogen and thus loses mass which makes it grow bigger (because it has a lower gravitational pull) and colder (because it's using it's fuel). It'll eventually become a "red giant" - many times bigger than the current sun, but also cooler.

Again though, we're talking timeframes of BILLIONS of years here, the changes within the entire span of human history are so small they can barely be measured let alone cause any actual change on Earth.
