    Except axial tilt merely explains the change in weather. It doesn’t account for the experience of the changing of seasons like trees losing their leaves

    that happens because the leaves are there to pick up on sunlight and there is less sunlight in winter so many trees kill the leaves to save resources in winter

    the less sunlight is also why it is cold

      Other way around. Because the trees lose their leaves there’s less surface area to pick up heat so it gets cold until the trees grow new leaves. Read a book.

      This is such a bad-faithed interpretation of the point of my paragraph that I must conclude it’s deliberate. No one is literally questioning axial tilt. It just doesn’t explain the practical experience of the seasons changing in the way a good story can.
