Marsopromorphic Climate Change. What’s causing it?

Well… the answer is in my made up word, “marsopromorphic”. Researchers discovered evidence that Mars’ gravitational pull influences climate change on Earth. It’s not me saying it.. it’s THE SCIENCE!

Mars affects Earth’s climate by dragging it closer to the Sun in 2.4 million-year cycles, scientists have found.

Researchers have discovered geological evidence proving how the gravitational pull of Mars influences long-term global warming, speeding up the circulation of the oceans.

The team, from the University of Sydney and Sorbonne University, used drilling data dating back 65 million years from hundreds of sites worldwide to look at how deep-sea currents change over time.

Samples of the ancient sediments showed that the strength of ocean currents wax and wane in 2.4 million year cycles, the same timescale in which the orbits of Mars and Earth interact in a gravitational dance.

If we can blame people why can’t we blame Mars? Although in the article they play CYA and say,

Although the cycles are not linked to the current rapid global warming, the researchers say the discovery will help make climate models more accurate, as well as giving an insight into how warming might change the oceans.

Pish posh. We know what’s really to blame now.
