Killing cows to meet their CO2 quota is just one step towards killing a million humans to meet their CO2 quota

Yeah, but now they need the cows in order to boost Earth to a higher orbit.

Does anyone care what will be happening in a billion years?

It'll be here before you know it.

Yep. There are a lot of them.

The one I referenced was based on a 1933 science fiction novel.

How about we move just the Scientist three million miles farther from the sun?

This movement would extend a year to 380 days, meaning we'd have to insert an extra 15 days into a calendar year somewhere.

The calendar would be the least of our problems.

True, in a billion years we may see the RAPTURE before then. Those left behind will go to the place they deserve.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet that some natural or human catastrophe will cause the earth to be uninhabited a billion years from now anyway , except for maybe the cockroaches, and they’re on their own.

First we’re going to control the climate now we’re going to drive the Earth around the universe looking for a cool place to park. Reminds me of “Childhood’s End”.

Another wacko idea to “save the earth!”

Remember the 1970s when they wanted to stop “THE COMING ICE AGE” by mining coal, grind it to dust, mix it with oil and spray it on the glaciers and ice caps to increase warming?

I propose that we send spacecraft with giant fire extinguishers to the sun.

The same people who can’t stop extended car warranty calls want to move a planet.

What they are admitting is that the cause of GW is the sun

That would go a long way to making the world a safer place. Rounding up the megalomaniacs would be a great help too. It seems that every problem we have today is caused by these megalomaniacs nudging the world to make to their desire.

When the famines hit, few will connect the dots to see it came from global warming solutions.

[snip] When a planet (such as Earth) slows down in its orbit, it moves closer to the sun. Likewise, when a planet speeds up in its orbit, it moves away from the sun. [/snip]

If things in lower orbits move faster, why does speeding up allow them to leave the orbit entirely?
https://www.quora.com/If-things-in-lower-orbits-move-faster-why-does-speeding-up-allow-them-to-leave-the-orbit-entirely

Kepler’s First Law describes the shape of an orbit.
https://howthingsfly.si.edu/flight-dynamics/moving-space

The orbit of a planet around the Sun (or a satellite around a planet) is not a perfect circle. It is an ellipse—a |flattened| circle. The Sun (or the center of the planet) occupies one focus of the ellipse. A focus is one of the two internal points that help determine the shape of an ellipse. The distance from one focus to any point on the ellipse and then back to the second focus is always the same.
