Horrors - well the only way to solve this must be Totalitarian World Government.

The Delusional Lying Left will figure out some convoluted way to make this another excuse for their nightmare dream of One World Totalitarian Government.

[Bob434]

Tax the hell out of Americans, that will solve it

[E. Pluribus Unum]

1. Invent a new danger
2. Tell people they need to be terrified
3. Profit!

[EvilCapitalist]

Asteroids from Jupiter I’m not worried about. Now if we were having Assteroids flung at us from say, Uranus, I’d worry.

[The Pack Knight]

Climate Change and/or Trump’s Fault.

[Revel]

Time to blow Jupiter out of the sky. /sarc

[Brilliant]

It’s not just a matter of deflecting though. Jupiter absorbs stray stuff.

[BipolarBob]

This is an act of war. Will Pelosi step up and approve a retaliatory strike on the Jovians?

[Vaquero]

I’ve said that for years. An asteroid or comet passing Jupiter has a chance to fling the projectile away from earth or towards earth. So many possibilities. The possibilities are unlimited actually.

A big rock coming into the solar system on the opposite side of the solar system from Jupiter means the Jovian mass has much less if any effect

[Telepathic Intruder]

Clearly, we need more Jupiter control to end Jupiter violence.

Is this the same ‘scientist’ who said the glaciers would be melted by 2020?

[a fool in paradise]

“Warns”

Okay. What am I supposed to do?

Duck?
Shelter in place?
Reduce carbon emissions?

[Larry Lucido]

I’m sure it’s like any vacuum cleaner. Once the bag is full, it needs to be emptied.

[GOPJ]

Is this the same ‘scientist’ who said the glaciers would be melted by 2020?

Or the one who said we’d be out of oil by the 1990’s?

Or the idiot who said our population would be so large by 2000 that we’d be starving to death?

Or the one who said killer bees from Africa would kill off our bees making crops requiring pollination to cease to exist?

[sit-rep]

We’re Doomed!!

[real saxophonist]

You got Asteroids?

[Seruzawa]

And these people expect to be taken seriously.

[PIF]

Just fling a mini-black hole or 2 into in that will solve the problem in a few centuries

[SpaceBar]

Scientists, and in this case presumably an astrophysicist, sound so lame when they try to play philosopher but didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Anyone with an inkling of classical mechanics knows that Jupiter adds mass to the solar system and consequently makes the latter that much more susceptible to attracting debris, comets, asteroids etc. It's just common sense. Bringing the ‘sniper’ thing into it is just plain nonsense.

Jupiter Shield theory in jeopardy

OMG!
