Because the change of the seasons is almost entirely the result of the angle of the
Earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit. The Earth's distance from the sun has
almost zero effect on the seasons.
in the northern hemisphere the sun is closest to earth in the dead of winter
No. As it happens the Earth is closest to the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. Seasons like summer and winter are related to the tilt of the earth with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun, not to the distance from the sun.
When Earth is closest to the sun the northern hemisphere is in winter Given the effects of precession will this still be the case in 13000 years?

No, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter when it is tilted away from the sun, which is during the period when Earth is closest to the sun in its elliptical orbit. The distance from the sun does not significantly affect the seasons on Earth.
no.Distance of the sun to earh it doesnt effect in anyway the earth.
When Earth is closest to the sun the Southern Hemisphere receives more of the sun's rays, making it hotter, or summer there, and winteri nthe north.

The earth is on an angle of 23.5 degrees. So one end of the planet is closer to the sun then the other. During the northern hemisphere's summer its is closest to the sun and the southern hemisphere is furthest from the sun.
