How could small changes in the inclination of Earths axis affect world climates?
It would change our seasons. Decreasing the effects of summer and winter with a decrease in the axial tilt and increasing those effects with an increase in the axial tilt. The earth is inclined on its axis by 23 degrees. This difference is what creates our seasons. If the earth had vertical axis, with respect to the sun, then we would always have the same season. The world wouldn’t be as nice to live in because the weather would be constant and horrible at the equator. All weather is driven by the sun and when the atmosphere is heated it moves, and when warm air goes over water it picks up water. When warm air hits cold air it rains and when water laden air hits the mountains it can’t get over them unless it dumps some of its water as rain, sleet, or snow. The 23 degree angle gives us a change in the seasons. If the change was less then the differences between each season would be less. In the tropics there are really only two seasons; the wet and the dry. If we weren’t inclined at an
