Maybe we could inject bleach into the stratosphere.

(Actually there’s a viable option of injecting sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere to counteract the greenhouse gas effect of carbon dioxide.)

We are fucked if Biden doesn't get rid of Merrick Garland and Chris Wray and start getting real about voting rights and climate shit. Totally and utterly fucked.

Gohmert fails as a comedian. Funny thing is that the Earth's revolution (but not its orbit) actually is unexpectedly changing. The reason: climate change.

Changing the earth’s orbit, a potentially disastrous event without precedent, is okay but vaccinating people, based on decades of data about safety and effectiveness, is not?

When I lived in Boston in the way back days there were people who, with a straight face, would say that the solution to cockroaches in your apartment was to get a couple of Geckos. WTF, I also do not want little free range lizards running around my apartment at night.

Mr Gohmert gives a whole new set of dimensions to “box of rocks.”

I stand by my proposal to make “gohmerts” the unit of measurement for stupidity.

These are good questions for kindergartners to ask during science circle time, not for grown adults who should know better.

Does this work by increasing the reflectivity of the atmosphere, kind of like a volcanic eruption does? And wouldn’t it be temporary? And wouldn’t the sulfur dioxide eventually make its way into the oceans and further acidity the water? I really am asking serious questions here, not trolling like Louie Gohmert.

Geckos running loose in your place is Standard Operating Procedure in many tropical locales, including Hawaii. They're obviously not native/adapted to Boston, though.

I think the appeal goes down when there's 4 feet of snow on the ground outside.

Geckos in the house are considered good luck in Hawai'i.

True story-when Werewolf Jr. was about 5 or 6, he came into the kitchen one time and told his mother "Ima, there's a lizard in my room!"-"What kind of lizard?""The kind that sells insurance on TV!"
