Question:

If the nearer Earth moves to the sun in its orbit the cooler it gets does it follow?

that the southern Hemisphere would be cooler than the northern Hemisphere at any identical latitudes.This in my opinion would be due to our slightly recumbent axis.

  1. If the Earth gets nearer to the Sun, one would expect AVERAGE temperatures to be higher everywhere.  The tilt of the Earth's axis affects the average received in different latitudes. depending on the position of the Sun relative to those latitudes, so there would still be four seasons - but if all of Earth's ecological processes were working at higher average temperatures, all chemical reactions would speed up and be more vigorous.  To some extent, that is already happening.  Even if we don't get nearer to the Sun, if the output of heat energy from the sun increases, it would have the same effect - and this happens on a regular cycle. This forum is not the place to discuss this in detail but there's plenty of info on the internet - you could try Wikipedia for a start.
