Sure enough Triff, I have also noticed the summer and winter effect as the sun comes and goes.

That would have an effect on the climate but it's constant year by year. The shift to a slightly more vertical axis would mean less sun onto the vast northern land masses, which get covered in snow and reflect light. There would mean more time spent with sunshine over water which is an excellent light absorber.

That should mean a slight warming.

As you point out, the annual vast change in climate is plenty to be going on with. I'm not hopeful that a few more sun spots will make me much warmer.
