Hank Johnson wonders how he didn’t think of this.

The left has been threatening to geoengineer the atmosphere to stop whatever insanity they believe.

He was very sarcastically giving them a verbal wedgie.

Obviously he was making a point...that the sun and the moon are responsible for climate change and if they want to “do” something about climate change that’s about all they can do.

Well this has been one recent theory as to why climate change is happening. I guess cow farts wasn’t working for everyone so they came up with the poles shifting.

He was being cheeky.

If the moon and earth’s orbit is changing and effecting the climate can we change it?

Of course not, so carry on with life and stop with the green crap!

He needed a “s/“ in his statement.

Louie’s plan is to mine all of the gravity out of the earth and send it into outer space. We will eventually leave our orbit and slingshot out of the milky way. Stay tuned.

He was not being sarcastic, IMO.
He may have been pointing out that there are things that are outside of the control of the mere earthlings. Or he may have been giving “scientists and experts” the benefit of doubt in this regard.
So just think, how much more wonderful life would be if we could make our days shorter by just 30 minutes.
What is your fantasy in this regard?

Especially since there isn’t any climate change.....except for the normal variations which have been happening since Creation.

Exactly, a Trolling Master Class...One can see Louie maintaining a great poker face, though at the end of the video he has a slight smirk and can barely keep from busting out laughing.

Well done Rep Gohmert.

You clearly identified a couple of primary causes of climate change and pointed out that they could do nothing to stop those changes.

A great variant on the King Canute story.

“The story of King Canute and the tide is an apocryphal anecdote illustrating the piety or humility of King Canute the Great, recorded in the 12th century by Henry of Huntingdon.. In the story, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God.”

Here's what he said:
'We know there's been significant solar flare activities, and so, is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM can do to change the course of the moon's orbit or the Earth's orbit around the sun? Obviously that would have profound effects on our climate.'
The idiot is the guy who said we'll have to get back to you on that, instead of admitting that neither BLM or the NFS could change a planetary orbit.
