Climate Change: GOP Rep Gohmert wants to alter orbit of Moon



Please read this article to see how totally stupid US House Representative Louis Gohmert is.


Here's some of the juicy quotes:

Lunar New Deal: GOP Rep. Gohmert suggests altering moon's orbit to combat climate change

The Texas congressman asked whether there was anything the U.S. Forest Service could do "to change the course of the moon's orbit or the Earth's orbit around the sun."

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., offered his own solution to Gohmert on Twitter on Wednesday, suggesting that Marvel Comics' character Captain Marvel could handle the job.

"She can alter planetary orbits with her superpowers. I'm going to work on a bipartisan resolution asking for her help," Lieu tweeted.

Gohmert, an outspoken opponent of Democrats' plans to combat climate change, has said he does not believe it is a manmade problem.

But surely he's making the point that man is too little and insignificant to cause climate change, and to suggest otherwise is as preposterous as his preposterous solution?

He's wrong enough about climate change, but making him out to be a total idiot might be unhelpful.

13, I disagree about making this idiot out as a TOTAL idiot. He's proven himself to be an ignorant idiot from Texas again and again. There's simply no hope in turning him around to reason, science, and sanity.

well I just watched the video and you're right, John, he isn't an idiot, he came across as intelligent and a sense of humour.  

Not that I liked his message, it was a wind up - more political jousting for who gets their snout in the trough isn't it?

Wait!

You have to be an idiot to even believe for one second that you could alter the orbit of the Moon or the Earth. The only way either would be possible is being hit by a very large asteroid and I do mean VERY LARGE.

He's serious. He's not joking or kidding or being funny. I've seen a lot of this guy and he's the joke.

it's political talk, that's all. My guess is that before the bit we see in the video the woman has asked him about doing something to preserve forest and avoid further climate change.

He winds in with the orbits and the solar flares and then says perhaps we should be asking the Forestry service to fix that.  Maybe that would fix climate change - again I don't think he seriously believes that.  If he were serious he'd be asking NASA wouldn't he?

then the woman says one little smiley sentence and then he takes the opportunity to talk about how the Forestry service are stealing land and money from the common folk.

No!

He's asking the Forest Services and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) to change the orbit of the Earth and the Moon. He thinks that these agencies can somehow do it.

I'm sorry, Lesley and 13, but you guys are just plain wrong with all your assumptions. Take what this guy is saying as plain and simple and try not to read too much into as you are doing. He's an old fool who doesn't know anything.

okay so I went and watched the video again, and still found myself thinking he's a politician first and foremost, all he is saying is democrats bad, republicans good.  
 
I took it plain and simple, just observing - 

He sounds like he believes the orbits and solar flares are real information.  
He sounds off the cuff as to whether this is affecting our climate.  
He sounds like he does not believe the forestry or land management can do anything about it, he is challenging them - 'if you think you can do anything about it I'd like to know', he says.

Then there's the bit where he says these people got 1.something million dollars as their cut on the pine trees and it has gone to, and at this bit he just about swallows his own sentence - 'well one year it was 64 thousand' so I would imagine they have done better on other years and everything he says is just for effect.
