Haze pollution does not originate in national parks, it can travel hundreds of miles from its source – coal plants– harming the air we breathe, and the health of park visitors, wildlife and nearby communities. https://t.co/1tPw3a6OZE
Did you know what causes Ice Ages? It is the Earth’s orbital cycles, known since Milanković computed them in the 1920s. When you drive a climate model with these cycles, it will reproduce the sequence of Ice Ages as we know it...
Humanity is keeping time by keeping track of these celestial cycles. Like the dial of an analog clock, the cycles swing around and around: the daily cycle of the Earth’s spin, the monthly cycle of the Moon, the yearly cycle...
The Vernal Equinox (equi-night) reminds me of other celestial cycles. The Earth’s spin axis takes about 26,000 years to wobble around like a spinning top, a motion known as the precession of the equinoxes. Right now, Polaris is the north...
