Here it is setting in a very different position than is usual at this time of year. We have already shifted a lot. The sun is setting much farther to the north. It usually sets west north west as we get closer to the summer solstice here. Now it's closer north west north. When I spent the summer solstice in the artic circle 20 years ago, the sun set below the horizon in the north west (close to 11:30 if north is 12:00) and rose in the north east (12:30) about 30 min later. It never got dark. Here in Ontario, much farther south, the sun is now setting at 11:00, whereas previously it would have been 10:00, looking west, if north was 12:00. The actual time of day for the sun set hasn't changed. Just the physical location. |

The position of the sun setting is a function of latitude and time of year. Your casual observations are laughable. |

The actual time of day for the sun set hasn't changed. Just the physical location. Without actual video evidence of the location of the sun setting on a specific day of the year, and have that same video pre-recorded every year to confirm locations, then the theory is unprovable. I noticed a lot growing up of people saying 'the sun has moved' and I eventually realized they just had never thought about the sun's placement on specific days of the year. I have a family house that ONLY on January 1st of the year, well sometimes dec. 31st and sometimes to Jan 2nd, does the sun shine directly into the living room through this tiny hole in the front door. It's a window and the sun shines through and the light makes a perfectly straight line through the room that is parallel to the wall. Doesn't happen on Jan 4th and never happens on December 27th. This has been the same since I was a kid. Tell me how anything about that suggests the sun has moved when the physical location on specific days has been consistent for my whole life |
