This will come as a major disappointment to the climate worshippers who believe, as an article of faith, that mankind is causing the planet to toast by burning fossil fuels. News flash: Mankind and fossil fuels are not causing our current pattern of warming. Scientists doing some real research using real data have discovered that when the Earth and Mars pass each other in years-long cycles as both planets circle the sun, Mars and Earth “tug” at each other’s orbits and cause the Earth to get a tad closer to the sun. You know, the sun, that big ball of burning hydrogen that emits sunlight and heat? The scientists can lay a ruler down and show that when such “tugging” happens, the temps here on Mom Earth rise for a time, for a period of years. And then years later, when the tugging stops, our temps fall again, and we get ice ages. It’s been happening for millennia.
