We hope that we can interest climatologists in examining the question, "What if we reduced the tilt of the earth by 1 degree?"

Then, if the results seem favorable, we might ask what would happen if we reduced the tilt by another degree.

We can feel pretty certain that each degree of change would moderate the winters and summers for both hemispheres. Theoretically, if we were take all of the tilt out, we could have year round equality for the hemispheres. There would be no summer or winter, we could have the equivalent of Spring or Fall weather year around.

That may seem pretty appealing, because we could have year round growing seasons, and people could get by with a single year around wardrobe. Heating and cooling costs would be minimized, and there would be many other wonderful benefits. What we don't yet know is what would be the price? Would we get enough rain? Would we create more deserts? Would we make deserts arable? Would the ice packs grow larger on the poles? Those are just some of the questions that climatologists could ask their super computer weather models.

If the experts agree on the projected results, we could weigh the benefits against the costs and take a global vote on whether or not to make a small change in the tilt. If after two or three years we discover that the predictions hold true, we could again vote on whether to make another small change. In the proposed plan, our starting assumption is that any changes made would be one degree every two or three years. This might give us enough time to gain confidence in our predictive abilities.

If, after making slight changes in the tilt, we discover negative effects that outweigh the benefits, we could always vote to return the tilt to the way we find it today.
