Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet overheating: move it to a cooler spot.
All you have to do is hurtle a few comets at Earth, and its orbit will be altered. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.

I would prefer running the air conditioner longer.

I don’t see any possible problems with this scheme.

This idea has been around for awhile. And the nothing would actually collide with the Earth (If all goes as planned.).

Let me see if I can figure this out: the people who wrote Obama’s healthcare bill are now running the space program, too.

We are actually spending money on the salaries of absolute idiots who dream up stupid stuff like this??
I guess it won’t make any difference anyway, we are now rushing headlong into a period of extreme cold weather that will have us all shivering in our boots.

Won’t work. Algore promised me that it is the evil car in my driveway - not the Mr. Fusion In The Sky (known colloquially as the Sun) - that is causing the Earth to warm.

Ok, i know we arent supposed to advocate violence. But *if* i know who is going to ALTER THE ORBIT OF THE EARTH, i say they have to be stopped.
I am under the quaint understanding that our orbit is critical to our survival. It would be an act of self defense. An earth that is 200 below zero, or 145 degrees would really suck. The arrogance of changing earths orbit is truly stunning.

That has to be about the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Isn’t that like shooting your nose off so you can “move” it?
How stupid are these people? Don’t they know that objects the size of a comets big enough hitting earth would likely KILL everything ON earth? Damn, seriously there are some stupid people out there.
