Gohmert Asks If BLM & Forest Service Can Move Moon's Or Earth's Orbit

[Disaffected]

39. While it is technologically feasible

for humans to alter the earth's orbit to a degree significant enough to alter climate, such a feat remains far far into the future.

It would basically involve altering the orbits of near-earth passing asteroids to pass v closely to earth and in a direction that would tend to increase the earth's distance to the sun. This would have to be repeated many thousands of times to make a difference but has been seriously proposed as a way to mitigate not human caused climate warming but to alleviate the effect of sun gradually increasing in solar output that, in millions of years, will cook the planet.

Not that any of that of course has anything at all to do with what the Bureau of Land Management could do....
