Yeh that why I went and enquired.. I for one did notice the sun had gone further south this year.. How many people looked? bet you didn't...LOL.. Anyway back to the exercise on what would happen to the weather if it did happen.. This will separate the real astronomers from the torkers.. The best way to look at it for me was to make it a full 90degree tilt.. like rolling out the barrel.. I'm not finding it easy, but so far it appears to me one would need to move much closer to the equator to survive.. The poles would be like rotisserie cooked and frozen alternatively every 6 months.. Geocentrism would get rid of the rotisserie, and then I think we might have ... hmmm icecaps on the equator and a whole new land called Antartica.. did you ever see that ancient map of the world that shows the world from space as a globe, and also outlines the exact contour of Antartica just as science only latterly discoverd it with modern technology.

Also, anyone standing on the Tropic of Capricorn on the southern Summer Solstice would notice the Sun passing to his south on that date.

From the helio perspective.. of course.. What would really happen to the length of our days and nights over a full year ... I'm trying without success to imagine what would happen if the axis was at 90 degrees.. the earth would still translate , countries on the equator would have permanent...the poles a very long hot summer and cold winter I give up..
