@Jerry LeFrog: To demonstrate that the Earth is round and a sphere rather than round and flat ( like a pizza), only the maximum equatorial rotation velocity based on the maximum circumference is required.

The basis of all scientific method modelling, including climate change modelling, insists that the value is 1674.4 km/h for a circumference of 40,075 km.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

Clocks and Longitude, including the GPS, base the actual rotation value at the Equator as 1669.8 km/hr.

The day/night cycle, which includes sunrise, noon, and sunset happens once every 24 hours due to one rotation. The academic community denies these facts.

“Owing to the difference between solar and sidereal time, the Earth rotates once more often than 24-hour days in a year” NASA.

@Gerald Kelleher: Same ‘copy and paste’ nonsense every day

@Trevor McCormack:

I had to respond in another article.

@Ray Dunne: I see through thumbs-up approval that most Journal commenters refuse to accept that the sunrise/sunset cycle every 24 hours is not also one rotation of the Earth.

That more than anything demonstrates how easy it is to convince society of the need to control the weather/temperatures (climate change modelling).

@Gerald Kelleher: Again, not all puzzle are created equal. As I pointed out before, some may be square. And calzone better not be flat …

The Earth has been turning and creating the day/night cycle long before humanity appeared on Earth, long before the dinosaurs, and long before life on land and in the sea, so it is the oldest observation people have and perhaps the most precious and immediate experience of a moving Earth.

What could be more beautiful and inspirational, and so what if I am the only person to affirm the connection between the rotation and Earth science?

If people choose a ridiculous notion through a misadventure with timekeeping, these pizza earthers ( round and flat earth) might believe they are in some way superior to others; they are best left to their own devices.

Climate change modelling, like natural selection, will fade without being dealt with properly. They are symptoms rather than the disease

@Gerald Kelleher: You believe in the heliocentric spinning ball in a vacuum MODEL. Flat earthers don’t have a model and don’t think earth is a pizza in space.

@Science: It is late as my location (and me with it) rotates into the dark hemisphere for a number of hours before rotating back into the light hemisphere and the radiation of our parent star

Only scientific method modellers dispute this intimate experience, and they are the foolish people promoting climate change modelling.

Cowardice before basic facts is the worst so you believe what you need to, people need to be courageous and considerate and not silent.

@Gerald Kelleher: If you brought all the theories and counter theories of climate change modelling and all the facts and figures and dropped them on top of the flood in Germany would they be enough to soak it up. If anyone has a spare opinion or theory feel free to add to the pile .
