> In the context of climate change, when Earth's orbit becomes more eccentric (our path over the next 200k years) seasonal changes increase in magnitude.

Isn't that only so on one of the hemispheres? Right now, earth is slightly further away from the sun when its summer on the northern hemisphere which means that our summers are some 5-7 days longer than our winters and our seasons are actually less intense here.
