According to the UK Independent, some 9,000 years ago the earth shifted its tilt ever so slightly, from 24.14 degrees off vertical to its present 23.45 degrees, just a 0.69 degree difference.
The results of that tiny little shift in the earth’s tilt resulted in the birth of the Sahara desert, covering some 3.5 million square miles. Prior to the shift the region was a vibrant and lush grasslands.
So yes, small incremental changes can and do have large impacts on our environment.
When you hear that the oceans warmed a fraction, the average global temperate rose a tiny bit, or the oceans’ CO2 levels climbed a bit, be aware that there will be impacts looming in our future.
Do not let yourself be fooled or conned by the nay sayers.
It’s said with some truth that “you are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem.” Please be part of the solution.
What the region must have look like 9,000 years ago.
