The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
No it wouldn't have helped because of the Coriolis Effect. Remember that winds in the northern hemisphere turn to the right and the winds in the Southern Hemisphere turn to the left.
Actually, the earth passes its perihelion, the point in its orbit at which it is closest to the sun, in early January. Although the total amount of the sun's energy that is reaching the earth decreases as the earth's distance from the sun increases, that difference is insignificant compared to the effect of the angle at which the sun's rays are contacting the various parts of the earth.
That is true. The orbit of the Earth around the sun is ellipitical, and the Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th. This is slightly ironic, since that is when the northern hemisphere has the warmest weather. But the axial tilt has a greater effect than the variation in distance from the sun (which is only a minor variation).
an affect to die for
yes, increases in greenhouse gasses are the dominant cause of global warming.
Yes, deforestation removes trees that act as a carbon sink, removing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This increases the greenhouse effect.
In the Northern hemisphere, the direction is clockwise... In the Southern, it turns anti-clockwise.
cyclones effect mostly people in the southern hemisphere because people in the northern hemisphere call them hurricanes

We primarily see the Warming of our Globe.
The Coriolis effect.
In the Northern Hemisphere winds spiral to the right; while in the southern hemisphere winds spiral to the left.
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.
