A bizarre question on climate change solutions asked by a Texas
Rep. during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Tuesday
caused quite the reaction on social media.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) was
on a video call with associate deputy chief of the National Forest
System 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 solve the 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... 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,' Gohmert asked Eberlien.

I like Louie. I had the pleasure of speaking with him several times while stationed in NE Texas. He is a East Texas favorite son.
Trey, I'm sure Louie will be grateful if you offer to help him alter the orbit of the earth or moon.
Howie, Louie is on his own. Always has been.
