Doesn't anyone have an anecdote or something?

The contemporary astronomical mechanism for global climate is expressed
in hemispherical terms,specifically a variable axial tilting Earth.-

The problem is that these poor astronomical conceptions are based on
meteorological hemispherical cyclical descriptions rather than the
correct global mechanism.While global climate from astronomical causes
can be reduced to hemispherical weather patterns as a convenience,it is
about time that the astronomical conceptions be brought up to speed
with global climate rather than hemispherical weather patterns.
The actual mechanism for global climate and subsequently hemispherical
weather patterns is a change in orbital orientation (due to orbital
motion) against fixed axial orientation -

Time to let go of older and out of date conceptions focusing on the
seasons (hemispherical weather patterns).
