Maybe if we discharge enough greenhouse gases, the earth will slow to the point where we will all live longer lives. But if that takes too long, I'd be satisfied knowing that I could at least keep it up for a few more minutes.

I can only see this as good news. If the earth slows down, that means that there will be less of a gravitational pull, which means that I will, in effect, weigh less! Screw the diet, let's just stop the earth!!! ;-)
