re: #253 Hecuba’s daughter

Gohmert was being a jerk but, as was explained elsewhere, he wasn’t suggesting that anyone can change the earth’s orbit but only that climate change is not due to human activity — especially not fossil fuels, but rather due to solar flares, the earth’s orbit, and the moon’s orbit — so that there is nothing we can do about it, so we can continue on our merry way of putting carbon into the atmosphere and keeping the Texas oil industry running at full capacity.

Even if Climate change were completely non-anthropogenic, I’d _still_ want to save myself from it.

Maybe Gohmert is looking for a literal deus ex machina, maybe after the end of the world.
