Brad, not only have the factors you mentioned not
been taken into consideration but as far as I
know, no one seems to have studied the
possibility of plate tectonics playing a role in
world climate.
Of plate tectonics as having been primarily forced along by the
gravity/tidal energy of our moon is in fact the vast majority of
what's thawing Earth as of the very last ice age we'll ever see.
Although the plates are moving slowly, by human
standards, there seems a possibility that ocean
currents could be changing as a result which in
turn would influence weather patterns, not to
mention oceanic temperature changes at or near
the convergent, divergent and transform plate
margins.
In addition to our oceans moved along by our sol+moon gravity/tidal
energy, so has our wet atmosphere been kept extra motivated into being
pulled along and/or distorted by those off-world factors. Don't ever
forget about our rather badly failing magnetosphere, that has lately
been losing its potential by roughly -.05%/year, allowing more of
solar and cosmic energy to get through (less magnetosphere = hotter
Earth). So, there's no one cause, but there are primary causes and
several minor causes, that when combined are responsible for the
ongoing demise of our frail environment.
Of course, there is the constantly changing
volcanic activity which is spewing all sorts of
stuff into our atmosphere.
Again, the natural events of planetology and nature are in fact far
worse off than most of what we humans have managed to contribute.
However, I give humanity credits for at least 10%, but not more than
25% of our ongoing GW fiasco that started its thaw as of more than
12,000 years ago, about the time when a certain lithobraking icy proto-
moon arrived and Earth obtained its seasonal tilt.
The earth is not static. It is VERY dynamic and I
wonder if the "Climatologists" and modelers are
aware of how geologically dynamic it really is.
I totally agree, whereas Earth is essentially 98.5% fluid dynamic, as
compared to our salty moon that's something less than 1% tidal fluid.
Venus (including its robust atmosphere) is perhaps better than 99%
fluid, but simply rotating much too slowly for the one and only solar
gravity/tidal factor to cause any significant plate tectonics,
although its fast rotating atmosphere is clearly tidal forced into
adding heat via friction that's in addition to the surface 20.5 w/m2
from the somewhat newish planetology core heat that's continually
leaving Venus, and thus responsible for the vast bulk of why the
surface environment of Venus is so downright toasty (day or night).
