Hello John F,
Yes, that is right. the obliquity has been known to be reducing regularly for the last 2000 years and we know how important this angle is to our climate. The current theory is as we know Milankovitch’s but it only offers an explanation of some 2.3 degrees wobble and some varying eccentricity changing the obliquity.
This theory puts a restriction on all astronomers and geologists to within a very narrow range to explain the mysteries of great changes of climate in the past. These past changes in climate call for an explanation covering a greater range of obliquity.
As Bojan rightly suggests, we need to look deeper into the subject. For example I suggest we start by looking at the motion of our planet. The earth is travelling about the Sun. So I ask all contributors, is it travelling in a circle or a spiral? We can all answer this definitively I am sure. It is an important point to commence the argument.
