If earth's axis was straight, like that of Mercury, do you think earth would have any seasons?

Well, if Earth's axis were straight, then it would be orbiting the sun with a straight axis.

. . . every location on Earth would have about a 12 hour sunlight days and the noon sun angle would be about the same every day. There would no longer be season as we know them. The temperature and precipitation pattern would not vary much.
