Mackey : The Earth’s Variable Rotation: A Climate Regulator

Over the past fifty years geophysicists have established that the planet experiences global warming and cooling episodes that are repeated about every 60 years; that these cycles are driven by decadal variations in the rate of rotation of the Earth; that these variations result from oscillations of the Earth’s inner core; and that these oscillations have their origins in the celestial mechanics of the solar system documented by Laplace in 1799. Laplace showed that the motion of the rotation axis of the Earth is determined fully by both gravitational potentials and kinetic moments. Laplace showed that only the gravitational forces and kinetic moments from other celestial bodies influence the rotation of any one of them.

Throughout the 25-year existence of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it has refused to mention in any of its many reports the vast body of research published over the last 50 years about the role of the Earth’s variable rotation as a determinant of climate dynamics.

As a result, the IPCC has practiced egregious scientific misconduct (as defined by US and European authorities) since it was established in 1988. The IPCC should be terminated immediately.
