Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert's asked during a hearing of a House committee whether the federal government could change the orbits of the moon or earth to deal with climate change - raising some eyebrows among experts.
Gohmert, a Republican from Texas, was on a video call with associate deputy chief of the National Forest Service Jennifer Eberlien when he asked whether or not federal agencies such as the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management could alter the earth and moon's orbit to deal with climate change crisis.
'I understand, from what's been testified to the Forest Service and the BLM [Bureau of Land Management], you want very much to work on the issue of climate change,' Gohmert told Eberlien in a viral video clip of the hearing tweeted by Forbes.
'I was informed by the immediate past director of NASA that they've found that the moon's orbit is changing slightly, and so is the Earth's orbit around the sun.
'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.'
'I would have to follow up with you on that one, Mr. Gohmert,' Eberlien replied.
She didn't answer in specifics whether there could be any validity to the idea - which many online found outlandish, while others came to the congressman's defense, saying he was obviously being sarcastic.
As Gohmert's query spread on social media, some lashed out at the Texas representative as they debated whether his question was serious or sarcastic during his viral exchange with Eberlien.

The masses and forces are orders of magnitude too great for puny humans to cool the planet even slightly ...just like puny human input has no capability to warm the planet even slightly.
Alter the orbits of the earth and moon....
We can have AOC, Greta and Sheila Jackson Lee in charge of it.
I ask you, what could go wrong?
Ridiculously obvious sarcasm, so of course it will only be reported as 100% serious by a moronic Rethuglican.
Gohmert’s humor was outstanding—literally orbited around the planet, it was that far over their heads.
He was making fun of them.

Serving his ninth term in the United States House of Representatives, Congressman Louie Gohmert was first sworn in on January 4, 2005. He proudly represents the First District of Texas which encompasses more than 12 counties stretching nearly 120 miles down the state's eastern border with Louisiana.As the recipient of numerous awards such as Endowment for Middle East Truth's "Speaker of the Truth Award" and Freedom Works' "Freedom Fighter Award," Louie passionately speaks in Washington on the issues he and most of us hold dearest. He is an unapologetic warrior for our most cherished freedoms which are under attack and some are even being marginalized and diminished.
He has not only been sought as a key note speaker all over the U.S., but has been an invited speaker at Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England, as well as other countries. After the Obama administration condemned the largest peaceful demonstration in the history of the world in Egypt in June of 2013 which resulted in the ouster of Pres.Morsi who was maneuvering toward a dictatorship, some American leaders demanded the Muslim Brotherhood dictator be put back in office where he had seized so much power, but Louie became the first and most public elected US official to commend the Egyptians and making him an Egyptian populist hero, earning an award from the Chamber of Commerce in Cairo.
He is a staunch advocate for the U.S. being the best friend Israel could have in the world as an acknowledged friend of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
He is a tireless advocate on the House Floor, all over east Texas and the nation, as well as in the national and international media on many critical issues. These include not only the necessity to fight terrorism from its most prominent source, radical Islam, but also promoting the preservation of U.S. Constitutional authority, freedoms of religion and speech, state’s rights, 2nd amendment rights, and all those rights most of us hold dearest.
Louie is a bold defender of America's founding principles and is constantly coming up with big, innovative ideas solidly based on conservative principles and the ideals that has served as this nation's bedrock since birth.
Congressman Gohmert serves on the House Judiciary Committee, playing a vital role on the Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee, as well as, the Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Subcommittee. He is also a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, where he serves as the Vice Ranking Member of the whole committee. He is currently serving on the National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands Subcommittee, as well as, the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
Prior to being elected to serve in Congress, Louie was elected to three terms as District Judge in Smith County, Texas. During his tenure on the bench, he gained national and international attention for some of his innovative rulings. He was later appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry to complete a term as the Chief Justice of the 12th Court of Appeals.
Louie received his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University where he acquired a four year active duty commitment to the Army from an Army scholarship, and where he was Brigade Commander in the Corps while also serving as Class President for both Corps and Civilian students. He later graduated from Baylor School of Law where he was also Class President, President of the Moot Court Society, and won a number of awards including an award for his Law Review Article on torts. He is also a veteran having served his country as a Captain in the U.S. Army.
He and his wife Kathy are the proud parents of three daughters. Their family attends Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, where Louie has served as a deacon and Sunday school teacher for many years. He now frequently speaks or preaches at churches throughout his district and around the country.
So that would mean man is not to blame for the climate change nonsense the Left is pushing on us. As we knew from the start.
If only we were allowed to present scientific data to show on the TV networks and in schools. But we are not allowed to do that. In fact they cheerfully presented falsified, altered outcomes when they couldn't see anything matching their "global warming" BS.
Australian answer to Greta...Hilarious...

Louie Louieeee! ooooh, we gotta go now!
If the global warming would became a problem (so far is is mostly beneficial) the global solution, like Bill Gates mirror, or placing something else on orbit to reflect the sun energy would be a lot cheaper and more doable than this “sustainable energy” idiocy.
Building seashore levees to protect flooding is also realizable (Netherlands).
Finally nuclear energy is clear, safe and plenty and eventually we will make controlled nuclear fusion (Hydrogen). That will even make some Helium, we have a great shortage right now!

LOL
I LOVE Gohmert bringing the insanity of it all right in their faces!! Cars with a price tag of $60,000 + being FORCED on everyone by the time you get the damn car paid off the damn batteries will have to be replaced and the cost of the batteries are as much as the car!!
Duh, is AOC leading this witch hunt?
Look up the Maunder Minimum. A time of very low sun activity (no solar flares) and very cool earth temperatures. Also look into the orbital cycles (Milankovitch cycles) as related to earth temperatures.
Of course it is just crazy talk to imagine that changes in the sun and our orbit might have any effect on temperature. Now cow farts....
“I’d take it a step further and we go back to embracing that fact that we live in this time because it sure beats living during one of the cooling periods. “
Definitely. The National Geographic series “Below Zero” provides a taste of what life is like in the Arctic Circle.
Dumber than a bag of dog crap.
Who was he trolling when he said a Dominion server was raided in Frankfurt?

He was, it’s a beautiful question! This lady probably realized it knowing that if she answered no, it would have exposed the folly of trying to manage our climate
Get ‘em Louie. That question went right over her head.
